A screenshot of a Daily Signal article headlined "America Sees a Huge Decline in Crime Thanks to Trump and Republicans," bylined Steve Marshall. Below the headline is a photo of Donald Trump at a podium (visible microphone), wearing a dark suit and gold tie, making a fist gesture with a satisfied/smirking expression, standing in an ornate room with chandeliers and columns (appears to be the White House). Below the photo is body text of the article crediting the Trump administration and Republicans for a decline in violent crime, citing FBI data on murder rate decline, fentanyl seizures, and gang/criminal enterprise interceptions.

Text in image: DAILY SIGNAL America Sees a Huge Decline in Crime Thanks to Trump and Republicans STEVE MARSHALL Across America, violent crime is on an impressive decline. The FBI recently shared new data, illustrating a 20% decrease in the nationwide murder rate. Additionally, violent criminals and drugs are being taken off our streets, helping to make communities safer for thousands across the country. Most notably, there has been a 31% increase in the number of kilograms of fentanyl seized, plus a 210% increase in the number of gangs and criminal enterprises intercepted. After years of a raging fentanyl epidemic, ending the lives of half a million Americans, we are finally drawing the line thanks to steadfast policing and straightforward policies. These remarkable changes could not have been achieved without our country's heroic law enforcement and support from the highest levels of government. 1

A screenshot of page 2 of a printed text document (article or op-ed), plain black serif text on white background, with two underlined hyperlinked phrases ("Council on Criminal Justice" and "three weeks") and a page number "2" at the bottom right. The text argues that crime has declined under Trump's policies, citing law enforcement resourcing, policing strategies, National Guard deployment, and crime statistics.

Text in image: Under President Donald Trump, our agents have the resources and morale to focus on counternarcotics initiatives and "America First" crime-fighting. These crime reductions should not be recognized as a one-off shift, but as evidence of well-functioning institutions. When our law enforcement agencies operate with stable staffing, abundant resources, and competent command structures, they thrive at keeping Americans safe. Strategies such as hot-spot policing, gun-violence interception, and repeat-offender targeting have shown to reduce crime when implemented consistently. Some police forces in U.S. cities were dilapidated after the mainstreaming of anti-cop rhetoric in 2020. However, it's important to note that when cities rebuild their police forces after periods of attrition, they tend to see faster reductions in crime. When they operate at full capacity, law enforcement gets the job done, which means deterring more crime and keeping Americans safe. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, " … Violent crime overall in 2025 was at or below levels in 2019, the year prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice protests of 2020." Specifically, homicide, aggravated assault, gun assault, sexual assault, domestic violence, and robberies are all on the decline. These declines are evident in cities across the country, including the nation's capital. In January, the District of Columbia went three weeks without a homicide. Only two murders were reported for the entire month, a significant slowdown after crime had reached a historic high in 2023. Additionally, Trump's deployment of the National Guard has also contributed to the decrease in crime. Two of the top five cities with the steepest homicide declines, Los Angeles and Washington, had guardsmen present in the past year. When law enforcement knows that the guy at the top has their back, they're confident in their ability to perform. Policymakers at the state and federal levels cannot hesitate to support our law enforcement and ensure they feel protected and equipped. 2

A screenshot of a printed document page (page 3), showing the closing paragraphs and byline of an opinion article. The text argues that law enforcement is a key institution for public safety, credits Republican leadership for making Americans safer, and references "backing the blue" and prioritizing law and order. Below the text is a contributor byline for Steve Marshall, identified as a Republican U.S. Senate candidate and the Attorney General of Alabama.

Text in image: America's law enforcement is one of the few public institutions capable of producing measurable changes in public safety, and Americans should be able to depend on it. As lawmakers, it's our job to ensure they have the capacity to remain a strong and impactful force. Americans are safer today thanks to Republican leadership at every level of government. The results speak for themselves: When we "back the blue" and prioritize law and order, communities can thrive again.

I don't think people really understand how challenging it is to get a notoriously blue area like Palm Beach County to get on board with renaming the airport in the name of President Donald Trump. I know how hostile it is because I ran for Congress there, so why don't you just explain how this idea came to your mind and what the process was like renaming the airport. Well, I have to start by saying, you know, we're only as good as our village and thank goodness I have a really good one, including my class in the Florida House and our speaker and his chief of staff and everybody who really got on board. You know, in the beginning it was conversation was this has never been done in history. It's not something that we're sure we can do and, you know, we just kept kind of chipping away and figuring out a way to make this happen. You know, before I even brought it to leadership in the House, I spoke to, you know, people in Palm Beach County and then the airport and said, "Listen, this is going to happen in our lifetime." In my opinion, if it happens now while President Trump is in office, it's really just going to bring a lot to our county and lift up our county in an airport that we're supposed to be an international airport, but we're clearly not an international airport. Well, there's plans, of course, from my understanding to expand the airport. Perhaps you can talk about those plans because it is now going to be transformed from my understanding into an international airport with a massive renovation plan. And it seems like the Democrats are trying to dishonestly pin those renovation costs on the president, acting like, oh, it's going to cost this much money to rename things because of the president when they were already planning on doing these massive renovations at Palm Beach International to make it a true international airport because of the international and global significance. Since it now is the hub and the location of Mar-a-Lago and President Trump's golf resorts in Palm Beach County, where we've had global summits with world leaders, President Trump has literally ordered airstrikes, right? He ordered the airstrike, the killing of Qasem Soleimani from Mar-a-Lago. There's so many impactful historical events that have happened there, and there's no reason why it shouldn't be an international airport. And if you're going to have a Palm Beach County airport, which is like one of the tiniest airports in the world, which is why it's such a great airport, you should absolutely name it after a president since it's President Donald J. Trump who put that tiny little airport on the map to begin with. I mean, there's just so much that this will lift up our county. I think I read recently that even just private planes alone in Palm Beach County, we have more air traffic than any other place in the United States. I mean, we have four airports in Palm Beach County. We should be utilizing all four of those airports. I mean, one of the other airports in my district, well, two actually, North County, and there's one in the glades. I mean, we could be using those airports for many of these private planes instead of going to counties on either side of Palm Beach County. So I'm really hoping that, you know, a lot of what this brings to our county helps lift up these airports as well. I mean, the fact that the family has agreed to waive the trademark is amazing. You know, I'm not sure how much you travel throughout the country, but you know that you're probably not going to find anything that says Palm Beach International Airport in any other place in the world, but you definitely going to see something that has a globally recognized name as Trump on a brand. So I think that this will bring huge ... I can't wait to buy merchandise from President at Donald J. Trump International.

A photograph taken from an elevated vantage point looking down a stepped, terraced concrete water feature or fountain cascade that has been drained and is empty, with algae/moss growing in the tiered basins and a small puddle of water in one section. Stone/granite retaining walls line both sides of the cascade, flanked by dense evergreen trees (pines/spruces) and other greenery. In the background beyond the trees stands a tall multi-story apartment or office building with rows of windows, along with a smaller reddish-brick building, under a hazy blue sky. The foreground shows a paved plaza/patio area with some scattered debris.

A photograph of a large tiered cascading fountain/waterfall structure, resembling Meridian Hill Park's cascading fountain in Washington, D.C. Water flows down a stepped, terraced channel from an arched, colonnaded stone pavilion at the top down to a reflecting pool in the foreground. The stonework is a tan/beige stone with balustrades, urn-topped pedestals, and arched niches on either side of the central cascade. Tall green trees surround the structure on both sides, and there is a clear blue sky above. No people are visible in the frame.

A digitally edited/composite meme image. Bold dark-green text at the top reads "Hello, Greenland!" against a white background. Below, a photograph of Donald Trump's head (cropped tightly around his face) has been superimposed, giant-sized, looming over a small Greenlandic coastal town with colorful houses (red, yellow, blue, green, white) nestled among rocky hills and snow-capped mountains under a blue sky with scattered clouds. His oversized hand, with fingers pinched as if about to pick something up, reaches down toward the town from the upper right, as if he is about to grab or pluck one of the buildings or the town itself, evoking a giant reaching down to take something. The image mocks/depicts the idea of Trump wanting to seize or annex Greenland.
