Washington, D.C. is one of very few American cities to see a drop in August dining reservations compared to last year, according to OpenTable. Prior to Trump’s police takeover, D.C. had improved in reservation numbers for 11 consecutive months on a year-over-year basis, according to WUSA.

R estaurants in Washington, D.C., have experienced a sharp decline in reservations and foot traffic after President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department and mobilized National Guard troops in the city.

Three more Republican governors authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to Washington on Monday, part of President Donald Trump’s escalating show of force that he says is designed to crack down on crime and boost immigration enforcement in the nation’s capital.
