Is DC REALLY Crime-Free? Trump's 100% Claim is a Lie!
Tap title to read story
President Trump falsely claimed that crime in Washington, D.C. has completely vanished after a federal takeover of the police force. While crime has decreased since August, police statistics show hundreds of crimes still occur weekly. Trump's claim of a 100% crime reduction is inaccurate; even supporters acknowledge a decline, but not a complete eradication. The mayor noted an 87% drop in carjackings, a statistic Trump misused, and the decrease in carjackings began before the takeover. Trump's exaggeration ignores the fact that hundreds of crimes are still reported each week, undermining his claims of a 'crime-free zone'.
