Trump saying he is fighting to bring down crime, but the reality is he is causing crime to increase!

AI Overview

Multiple academic and legal analyses have linked Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions to an increase in political and hate-related crimes, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the "Trump Effect"
. Since his election and throughout his presidency, observers have noted a rise in aggressive rhetoric and political violence.

Arguments regarding Trump and political crime

• Hate crimes and the "Trump Effect": A 2018 study found that Trump's 2016 election was associated with a statistically significant surge in reported hate crimes across the United States. The study's authors theorized that his rhetoric and subsequent election emboldened some perpetrators, who felt validated by his political success.
• Inciting violence against opponents: Critics and experts have alleged that Trump's frequent demonization of political opponents, racial and ethnic minorities, and the press has had dangerous consequences. Examples cited include an increase in school bullying against minority students and the empowerment of right-wing extremists.
• Politicization of the justice system: In his second term, concerns have been raised about Trump's approach to criminal justice and his promises to use the legal system against political foes. This includes using rhetoric to escalate political tensions and, in some cases, pursuing charges that critics describe as politically motivated.
• The January 6th Capitol attack: The August 2023 federal indictment of Trump over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results cites his involvement in the January 6th attack. Critics viewed his actions and rhetoric in the run-up to the event as a direct incitement to political violence and an attempt to unlawfully disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
• Rhetoric blaming the "radical left": After the September 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump immediately blamed the "radical left" for the crime. This was criticized as inciting division and assigning blame before a suspect or motive was confirmed, a pattern some say fuels further political violence.

Here is a data example:

Trump has brought to both of his presidencies Hate and Revenge feelings. When slapped, the normal human reaction is to slap back, and that means that political hate and violence that is given by Trump (and the Republican side) is being returned by the people he hates and that he is unfairly going after.



and here is a very recent example of Trump slapping King Arthur in a symbolic way and getting slapped back:



Simply stated, Trump (and the Republicans) are causing crime to increase and not decrease. They are stopping violence but stimulating it!

Trump is to blame because the Left commits political violence? Are you kidding me? That's literally the dumbest thing anyone will say on this board this year! Congrats...you're the board's biggest idiot!

Crime is UP in DC since federal LE has been helping local LE?

WOW.

So more LE means more crime.

If we eliminate all law enforcement of any kind, THERE WILL BE NO CRIME!

OP IS A SAVANT!

 

[LeftofLeft]

His rhetoric does not inspire peace, harmony and tranquility. Quite the opposite , easily explains the rise in hate crimes when people are told their fellow citizens are enemies.

Tell US how the previous Administration’s open door policy on Immigration brought US Peace and Tranquility. The Carjackings, rapes, murders, sex trafficking, and fentanyl must have made all of that possible.

Let’s also not forget domestic policies supported by Democrats where flash mobs in retailers is acceptable provided you don’t steal more than $900. And, how about when a high school girl gets raped by a trans, it’s the girl’s father that’s the threat.

By all means, let’s go back to that peace and tranquility.

This is laughable and pathetic. The hate speech and crimes are all incited by the democrats. The targets of violence are all conservatives.

The surge in hate crimes by the left has increased because the nation has rejected their failed ideology. Violence has always been a tool of the left. The KKK unions now ANTIFA and their relentless hate speech is triggering the mentally ill to act violently.

October 2020, Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta were arrested for a plot to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

I heard there were more federal agents in that plot than perps.

Which is why the case got tossed. How sad is it in a country that has REAL crime...our FBI was trying to talk a bunch of beer soaked good old boys into trying to kidnap a Governor! Yeah, that's a great use of our premier law enforcement agency! (eye roll)

You really had to go five years back?

Vance Boelter thought his murder would advance Tim Walz' career. Try again.

Meanwhile democrats continue to shoot children, attack ICE agents and scream for the assassination of the president.

Yep, you are a total idiot.

Comeback when you can actually refute something.

Does the "other guy" refute the fact of any other guy in any way?

Of course not. So not a very good try from you clown.

The fraud convictions stupid. You can Google his New York fraud trial. Trump didn’t even dispute their claims of his lies.

You are a total democrat. Nothing you say can or should be taken seriously.

They are called facts and your idiotic denials don't make them anything less.

Left-Wing Terrorism and Political Violence in the United States: What the Data Tells Us

The Warfare, Irregular Threats, and Terrorism Program examines the state of political violence, finding left-wing violence has risen in the last decade but from very low levels and still well below historic levels of violence by right-wing and jihadist actors.

Study finds left-wing political violence on the rise

Researchers write in The Atlantic that 2025 is the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber attacks from the far right.

All of that reading you made me do and not one of them tracked overall political murders and compared them by idiology. All you did was link some stories that left wing violence exists. No shit. It is no where near the level of right wing violence and nothing you linked said that it was.

So now what? Also, are you going to start reading your links or not?

The facts are that democrat violence is increasing daily. From the left. With the full support of democrat leadership.

Do you slap back when slapped (or step down)?

Trump has been slapping the Democrats for 11 years, starting with "put Hillary in jail".

If that is not "INCITING" violence, show me what is!

Nope wrong again, fact is religious anti-abortion, anti-lgbt extremist had a kill list of over 70 people, all either Democrats or abortion providers. He killed a Democrat lawmaker, her husband and wounded another.

And here is you, claiming that it had something to do with benefitting Waltz and that other clearly rightwing violence doesn't count because it was in 2020.

Must you shit yourself in public like this?
