"He Keeps It Real": D.C. Grandmother Praises Trump’s Crime Crackdown at White House
By The Blog Source
During a recent Black History Month reception, President Trump highlighted what he describes as a "dramatic turnaround" in the safety of the nation’s capital. Central to the event was Forlesia Cook, a lifelong Washingtonian and grieving grandmother who claims that after years of being ignored by local leadership, she finally found an ally in the Oval Office.
A Personal Plea for Law and Order
Trump didn't mince words regarding the previous state of the District, labeling it a former "horror show" and "crime capital." He emphasized that economic opportunity for the next generation is impossible without a foundation of law and order.
The highlight of the afternoon came when Cook took the stage. After greeting the President with a hug, she shared her journey as an advocate for families of homicide victims following the death of her grandson in 2017.
"We marched, and we rallied, and nobody heard me," Cook told the crowd. "Until this Republican sent his people out there to interview me in my home. Have you ever heard of a thing?"

"Just Like Grandma"
Cook’s endorsement of the President’s style was blunt and personal. She noted that while she felt overlooked by Democrats for years, she trusts Trump because of his candid nature. "One thing I like about him, he keeps it real just like grandma," she said. "I appreciate that ’cause I can trust him ’cause he tells exactly how he feels."

By the Numbers: Is D.C. Getting Safer?
The President’s claims of a safer city are increasingly backed by recent data from the Metropolitan Police Department.
As of February 18, 2026, the statistics show a significant shift:
Homicides: Approximately 8 recorded so far this year.
The Trend: A 68% decrease compared to the same period in 2025.
The Outlook: Following a sharp decline in murders in January 2026, the administration is pointing to these figures as proof that their tougher public-safety posture is working.
For Cook, the change isn't just about statistics—it's about visibility. After years of feeling like "nobody cared," she left the White House feeling that her message had finally been heard.
