Trump (and Your Instincts) Are Right About Crime

The Washington Examiner argues that Donald Trump was correct in asserting that crime rates are up, despite a debate moderator's claim to the contrary in the September presidential debate. During the debate, ABC News moderator David Muir challenged Trump’s statement about rising crime, citing FBI data showing a decline in violent crime. Trump responded by calling the FBI data fraudulent, comparing it to inaccurate jobs data released by the Department of Labor. The Examiner notes that the FBI’s data is flawed due to changes in reporting methodology, particularly under the Biden administration, which caused many major cities like Chicago and New York to be excluded. The Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey, however, shows a significant increase in crime since Trump left office.

The Examiner concludes:

According to the latest DOJ numbers, since Trump’s last year in office, total violent crime has risen 37%, assault has risen 33%, total property crime has risen 8%, and motor vehicle theft has risen 41%. No wonder 77% of voters, and even 58% of Democrats, believe crime is higher than it was, according to Gallup. 

If Muir and his ABC News colleagues want to know why trust in news media is at an all-time low, they should look in the mirror. You cannot gaslight the public into believing the Biden-Harris administration has been good for the country. Voters know the nation is on the wrong track. They want change. Phony “fact” checks may have helped Harris for one night, but voters know the truth.
