  1. Of course he says the opposite. The gop can’t win unless they scare enough people

  2. Well to be fair, Trump has got a front row seat to a lot of Crime right now.. and hopefully another 3 times very soon.

  3. Facts and data means nothing to America’s greatest idiot.

  4. It’s all projection. People who commit crimes would tell you that crime is everywhere.

  5. “I don’t pay any attention to most things, but I’ll gladly tell you the state of them from my golden penthouse!” I imagine he’d say it like this, but in a way that I can’t dumb myself down enough to accurately describe.

  6. “Trump says” has all the credibility that “Russia says” at this point.

  7. I was reading something about an anchor from OAN or RSB or one of those god awful right wing networks. He went to nyc to cover the trial and was confused that he didn’t see rampant crime everywhere. It’s like the guy actually was expecting a crime ridden cesspool. He was confused as to what was happening.

  8. As always, it’s projection. He’s a one man crime spree. He sees lots of crime because he’s spent his entire life committing crimes, pressuring others to commit crimes, and surrounding himself with pedophiles and mobsters.

  9. When the news is bad, the regular media is all over it. When the news is good, the media doesn’t care. However, if a Republican is in the White House, the opposite applies on right wing media. See, both sides!

  12. What a terrible headline. Who cares what Trump claims? He’s not the one collecting data.

  13. Trump is kinda skewing the data what with the crimes he has managed to commit. 🤔

  14. Well, to be fair, when you live in a forest, the whole world looks like it’s covered in trees. Everyone around Trump, including Trump, are criminals so he thinks crimes are on the rise because from his perspective, it looks that way.

  15. Trump thinks every criminal has neer 100 charges

  16. Sweden..

    Crime skyrocketing

    The world has truly turned upside down.

    And by the way, living in America, it feels as if things are getting worse, not better. I suppose social media plays a big part in how we think. For example, corruption going down yet it feels worse. Crime going down but it feels worse (4 police dead in a raid).

    Word of Caution: If Trump becomes president, I dont think the US will last in its current state long. I dont think how its been for the past few centuries will last even a year after he’s president.

    If you dont vote, you are part of the problem, you will have blood on your hands, not the people that tried.

  17. What is on the rise is crime being videotaped and spread online as racist propaganda

  19. Uh, because it is never about crime. It is always about slander and bigotry. “Crime” is the excuse they give for their sadistic, draconian policies. This is demagoguery 101 folks.

    I know the media is just doing its job by stating the obvious, but it makes them sound like idiots.

  20. trump is not wrong on this. The FBI doesn’t count insurrection, perjury, fraudulent business practices, election interference, cheating, malfeasance, scams, payoffs, paying underage girls for sex and women having an abortion to keep from dying from the pregnancy. If you add these crimes to the plan to criminalize the use of contraception and the crime rate is going up faster than Matt Gaetz looking at a teenage intern.

  21. He’s doing his best to keep the crime rate up. It’s not his fault he hasn’t been getting the convictions. He seems to really be trying to go to jail.

  22. Remember the adds with rioting that Trump said was from “Biden’s America” during the 2020 election when he was in office?

    Same shit

  24. It’s a battle between facts and “alternative facts” (aka lies).

  25. Well, he would know since he’s committing most of it.

  26. When you commit crimes constantly, of course you would think crime is up.

  27. Who am I going to believe? One of our major institutions, or a pathological liar?

  29. It reminds me of that scene in 1984.

    “It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

  30. > Trump says the opposite.

    There are no security lockdowns at the courthouse where his trial is underway, and there are no police forces holding back thousands of protesters. Trump says the opposite.

    Of course. The truth does not work to his advantage.

  31. Crime is down and we’re doing *dramatically* better than global inflation numbers. But “crime is everywhere and our economy is terrible.”

    The infuriating thing is this nonsense is landing. The GOP is soooo… much better at framing narratives and affecting perceptions.

  32. Donald Trump is famous for lying, and everyone supporting him will be famous as fools.

  33. It’s the crime, they’re taking your guns, it’s the invasion, it’s the they’re taking your jobs…

    Crime is down, immigrants help the economy and perform the jobs white prove ledge doesn’t want – ask the farmers in FL.

    Their whole campaign is built on fear. Fuck the GOP.

  34. Wage growth up. GDP up. Stocks up. Inflation down. Crime down.

    This Biden fella is doing ok.

  36. To be fair, Trump is at the center of a highly-localized crime spree

  37. Trump wants everything to be as awful as possible, wars, crime , murder, economic depression, pandemics, just to blame Biden. He is fucking absolutely disgusting.

  38. We’re seeing a huge spike in crime committed by former presidents.
