Ever since Donald Trump launched his totalitarian military troop deployments to police American citizens in their homes, he has spread flagrant lies about the “success”<\/em> he’s had in utterly eradicating crime. Never mind that the actual data fails to support his delusional reports, and that crime had already dropped to multiyear lows before he began.<\/p>\n

Accurate statistics are anathema to aspiring dictators like Trump who rely on manufacturing fear to keep their faithful cult followers in line. And Trump hasn’t been shy about disseminating lies that cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and New York, and Baltimore, and Los Angeles, are, in Trump’s words “hellholes.”<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, Also, they all happen to have Black mayors. But it’s surely just a coincidence that he cherry-picked those cities, right?<\/p>\n

On Thursday Trump expanded on his bullshittery saying that crime in Washington, D.C. had declined 100%. That means that it dropped to zero. At least he didn’t go farther and say it dropped 1,500% like he has with drug prices<\/a><\/strong>. But even this statement is preposterous. Along with false assertions that “restaurants were dying. [And] Nobody wanted to go out,”<\/em> Trump said that…<\/p>\n

“If you look at Washington D.C. three weeks ago, it was the same or worse, and now it is considered a totally safe zone. […] Washington D.C. is a totally safe city. You are not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%. Then I said \u2018no it\u2019s not. It\u2019s down 100%.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump: \u201cWashington, DC, is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%, and I said, No, it's not, it's down 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n
