Trump Abandons Interview After Question on His Favorite Talking Point

/—-/ Trump should run this ad.

Okay what's with the FREAKISH OCD laugh that comes blurting out when there's no reason to laugh?

/----/ Wrong. Blue Cities aren't prosecuting crimes, so they aren't reported, but they are still happening.

• Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, pictured here in New York on November 2, 2021 says his office would not prosecute: marijuana misdemeanors, not paying public transportation fare; trespassing except a fourth degree stalking charge, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration in certain cases, and prostitution.

Those are not violent crimes.

VIOLENT crimes are down

/——/ Guess again, Einstein. A simple Google search reveals:
“But Lott said those statistics make up less than 45% of the violent crimes that are committed in the U.S. and only 32% of property crimes. Victims are not reporting incidents as often because they don't believe anyone will be punished, he said.

Lott claimed that only 8% of total violent crimes in cities result in arrest, and the number is even smaller for property crimes. Newsweek was not able to immediately verify those claims.”

What was listed earlier were NOT violent crimes (pot etc.)

As far as John Lott (who?) how can he prove any of that?

Look Kumquat, tell me the last time any democrat was ever asked to factually support anything they ever said?!

NEVER. Never in a million fucking years. Harris just declined to debate on Fox because she knew she would be asked to support her claims.

Trump walked out because he is tired of the disrespect of hostile leftwing reporters whose mission is only to try to make him look bad in support of the democrat party instead of actually getting the facts. Everywhere I go, all I hear from people is complaints about crime; Chicago is boarded up right now in fear of a crime wave. Stores are closing everywhere because of mobs of robbers and looters. You must be a total idiot to even argue the point.

Up to 100% of the homes in nieghborhoods have been vandalized and burnt to the ground.

I was just in Detroit.

I drove down 8 Mile Road, for fun.
Guess what, I didn't see a single 'burnt to the ground' building.

Are you just making stuff up again?

8 mile, you were not in detroit. You are lousy liar or a complete idiot. South of 8 mile is detroit.

8 mile and Mack ave, you were in the beverely hills of michingan, gross point
8 mile and kelly, Harper Woods
8 mile is a border. Not detroit.

Take a drive down outet drive. Drive through the area off jefferson and 7 mile rd. 6 mile rd.

Most of the destroyed homes have been bulldozed. The lots cleared years ago.

I have 35 mm pics at home. I can google street view as well. Your comment is noted that you were where it was always safe, just east of detroit (technically north but we call it east, as in the old East Detroit that became East point.

This is Trump's strategy to win the election. He's already lost.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Any of you left wing nuts thinking of moving to Detroit? I doubt it. The crime and the lack of jobs the democrats give that city is the reason why.

Trump's 'pitch' is for a Fox News sponsored rally in an arena filled with Trump supporters, with a prohibition on fact checking. Seriously, that's his 'offer'.

 

[frigidweirdo]

The Japanese police in the 1980s used to purposely misreport unsolved crimes to either lower levels of serousness, or, in the.case of potential murder, if no immediate clues existed they would report it as a suicide. It allowed Japan to artifically present itself as.a safer country.(though I suspect it still is much safer than most Western nations, depending on the crirme type). Take Caifornia not even applying a crime unless a certain value of goods is stolen etc.

Happens everywhere. It's difficult to compare statistics because different countries, states, counties etc will report things differently.

Trump's 'pitch' is for a Fox News sponsored rally

Fox has sponsored debates in the past and generally did as good a job as anyone else. In fact, I could make the case that last time, the Fox moderator (Chris Wallace) was unusually harsh and biased AGAINST Trump!

in an arena filled with Trump supporters,

So what? They can be told to stay silent and just watch, It has been done for years. Can Trump help it that no one would show in support of Kamala? If Trump is winning all the points, he SHOULD get all of the applause.

with a prohibition on fact checking.

When has there EVER been fact-checking? And by who? You really think fact-checking is Harris' strong suit? What I would really like to see is candidates having screens behind them to present sound clips, video, and other evidence to back up their claims as they go along.

Oh look, an irrelevant link you didn't read.

Correction.....

A relevant link YOU didn't read because it exposes the left's lies.

I guess Trump was not amused to be asked to factually support his dubious claims about crime in Michigan. I guess bloviating was not what the interviewer wanted?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/21/trump-crime-fear/

The focus of his event was violent crime, something that he insists has surged since he left office — both in American cities and, apparently, in the White House itself.

"The crime is so out of control in our country," Trump said. "I mean, you have cities — I will say this, the top 25, almost all are run by Democrats, and they have very similar policies. It's just insane."
(It is true that most large cities are run by Democrats, but that is because most residents of cities are Democrats.)
“But you can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread,” Trump continued. “You get shot. You get mugged. You get raped, you get whatever it may be. And you’ve seen it and I’ve seen it, and it’s time for a change. We have to bring back our cities. We have these cities that are great cities where people are afraid to live in them, and they’re fleeing the cities of our country.”

Trump Abandons Interview After Question on His Favorite Talking Point

Donald Trump chickened out of an interview in a key swing state after being asked about his rants on crime.

newrepublic.com

As Donald Trump returned to Michigan to speak about crime, he deliberately ignored the truth: Crime is down.
Standing under a banner that read “Make America Safe Again” on Tuesday, Trump spoke about law and order and a so-called “Kamala crime wave” occurring at levels “nobody has ever seen before.” But when journalists tried to ask him about that claim, he got scared.
According to The Detroit News, the Trump team had originally agreed to sit down for an interview with their newspaper Tuesday. However, after reporters pushed the former president about spreading lies about Michigan’s crime data, “a campaign aide said the presidential candidate no longer had time for an interview after the speech.”
Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn’t show any crime wave phenomenon. In the two years since the former president left office, violent crime has continued to drop and return to pre-pandemic levels.
Michigan specific data also fails to show any spike in violent crime under a Democratic administration. Homicides in Detroit are down to their lowest total since 1966, according to police data reviewed by The Detroit News. But Trump doesn’t want to talk about that. So much so that he’s dodging interviews with local journalists about crime.

You seem to miss the point. He didn't say crime is bad because a Democrat was in the White House. He said crime is down because there are so many Democrat mayors of cities.
