Ignoring "red state" crime is just another Trump attempt at political "fear mongering".

Ok that's one.
The Mayor before the Republican was a Dem.

still does not answer my question on why Trump has not sent NG to Red State / cities.

Does he believe there is no crime in those cities?

Homicides are down because the Feds have taken over the prosecution of gun crimes in Baltimore.

Yes, the federal government, through the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland, actively prosecutes gun crimes in Baltimore, often in partnership with local agencies like the Baltimore Police Department. This is part of a broader strategy to reduce gun violence, which includes initiatives like the Firearms Prosecution Initiative and the Gun Violence Reduction Strategy. Federal charges can include possession of firearms by prohibited persons, drug-trafficking-related gun crimes, and the illegal sale or distribution of firearms.
Examples of Federal Involvement
Partnerships:
Federal prosecutors work closely with local law enforcement, including the Baltimore Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), to investigate and prosecute gun cases.
Targeted Initiatives:
The U.S. Attorney's Office has expanded initiatives specifically targeting gun violence in Baltimore, with the goal of increasing federal prosecutions of gun possession and drug-trafficking cases.

So Democratic local governments are willing to work with the federal government to reduce crime. That a bottom up approach can actually work. Also USA have both a much higher incarcerating rate and crime rate per capita than other developed countries. So it can be good to investe in social program and other methods like that to reduce crime.There those solutions can also be cheaper.
