White House: Half of D.C. crackdown arrests are in high-crime areas

The text, while citing data, is saturated with rhetorical tactics aimed at reinforcing the administration’s position rather than presenting a balanced view. Trump’s claim that friends are now able to dine out safely—contradicted by OpenTable data—exemplifies a false cause. His claim that critics call him a dictator while he is “just trying to provide security” misrepresents opposition views, forming a straw man. Describing D.C. as "the most unsafe place anywhere" is appeal to emotion, as is invoking violent imagery of attacks. Biased language and subtle ad hominem attacks against critics undermine the objective reasoning of the piece.
