Trump's false narrative about fighting crime. It's a Dictators tactic to get rid of the opposition

Here is more proof of the OP's correctness status:

The 21st Century Red State Murder Crisis

  • The red state murder rate was 33% higher than the blue state murder rate in both 2021 and 2022.
  • 2022 was the 23rd consecutive year that murder plagued Trump-voting states at far higher levels than Biden-voting states.
  • 8 out of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2022 voted for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
  • From 2000 to 2022, the average red state murder rate was 24% higher than the average blue state murder rate.
  • Red states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama are America’s murder capitals and have had the highest three murder rates for 15 of the last 23 years.
  • The excuse that sky high red state murder rates are because of their blue cities is without merit. Even after removing the county with the largest city from red states, and not from blue states, red state murder rates were still 20% higher in 2021 and 16% higher in 2022.
Why isn't Trump addressing this issue?
He is addressing it, Stupid. And your Wokester Cult is fighting him to keep crime high in those cities.
 
Sure

From your own link:

17 states had nearly perfect participation in the FBI’s crime data

Illinois (Chicago) was one of them (from your own link).

In addition (and from your own link):

In 2022, 31% of the 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the U.S. failed to report crime data to the FBI's national database after transitioning to a new data collection system, according to the latest statistics from the FBI. Participation has improved since 2021 when almost 40% of the agencies were missing. The Marshall Project continues to follow the real-world consequences of the gaps.

The bad reporting did not happen on purpose (not politically motivated) but because of the data systems that were being used.

Oh, and by the way, this also means that Trump cannot have any real knowledge on whether crime has increased and by what amount.

You still have not answered the question as to why Trump is only targeting Blue State cities and leaving Red State cities without crime control. Red state crime is higher than Blue city crime!

40 percent missing! Haha
 
Did Trump tell you that? Of course, he did and you believe him. Data, statistics and facts are all lies. Only Trump tells the truth of how it really is, right?

The Biden admin lied to the American people
 
Yes, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser stated that crime has significantly decreased in the city due to a federal surge in law enforcement, citing a 45% drop in violent crime and a 12% drop in property crime between August 7-26, 2025, compared to the previous year. She highlighted a 87% reduction in carjackings, with only four reported compared to 31 the year before during that same period.

Details of the Claim

  • Violent Crime: Down 45% from August 7-26, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Property Crime: Down 12% in the same period.
  • Carjackings: Down 87% (4 compared to 31).
  • Context: These figures are from data provided by the D.C. government for the period of the increased federal presence.
  • Cause: Mayor Bowser attributes the reduction to the increased presence of more police officers on the streets.
  • Arrests: Over 1,500 arrests were made by D.C. and federal agents during the surge.

Bowser is playing politics. She knows that if she flatters trump he will move the troops out of her city faster. What Trump is doing will not permanently reduce crime.

Try using real sources, not right-wing opinions.
 
Interesting statistics that proves that the Trump supporters claims that crime is being misrepresented on purpose (politically motivated) in Blue cities with high crime rates is pure garbage:

AI Overview

Based on federal crime statistics from 2021 and 2022, several states with Republican-leaning state governments were cited for low crime data reporting rates due to the difficult transition to a new FBI system. The FBI's exclusive adoption of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in 2021 caused significant reporting gaps nationwide, particularly in states where local agencies struggled to adapt to the new technology and reporting requirements.

The states with the most severely underreported crime data in 2021 and 2022 include:

Florida
  • Missing 2021 data: Florida was one of only two states (along with California) that could not submit any data to the FBI's new NIBRS system by the 2021 deadline. Florida’s 2021 crime data is considered unusable, leading to inaccurate claims, such as one by Governor Ron DeSantis that the state's crime rate had hit a 50-year low that year.
  • Low 2022 data: In 2022, Florida continued to have the lowest reporting rate in the country, with less than 44% of its law enforcement agencies submitting data. Many of the state's largest agencies were still missing from the federal database.
West Virginia
  • Low 2022 data: In 2022, West Virginia reported a low participation rate of 45%, well below its prior rate of 86% in 2020.
Louisiana
  • Low 2022 data: Louisiana's reporting rate dropped to 48% in 2022 from 74% in 2020.
Mississippi
  • Low 2022 data: Mississippi's participation rate was 53% in 2022.
Georgia
  • Low 2022 data: Georgia's reporting rate fell to 57% in 2022 from 89% in 2020.
South Dakota
  • Low 2022 data: South Dakota reported a 57% participation rate in 2022.
Wyoming
  • Low 2022 data: Wyoming's reporting rate was 59% in 2022.
Reasons for underreporting
The widespread underreporting, particularly in 2021, was mainly caused by the FBI's transition from the Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the more detailed NIBRS. The problems with this transition included:
  • Costly system upgrades: The switch required many agencies to purchase new and expensive Records Management Systems (RMS).
  • Increased workload: NIBRS requires officers to collect more data, increasing the workload on records specialists and potentially leading to mistakes.
  • Limited resources: Many smaller and rural departments lacked the funding and staff to make the transition in a timely manner.
  • Inadequate support: Some state-level programs were understaffed and unable to help local law enforcement agencies implement the change and conduct data quality checks.
Impact on 2021 data
As a result of the underreporting, the FBI was unable to produce state-level estimates for violent crime in eight states in 2021, including red states like Florida, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania (though Pennsylvania has a Democratic governor, Republicans control the state House). Incomplete national data during this period leaves room for politicization, as seen with the Florida example, and makes it more difficult to analyze crime trends accurately.
 
Bowser is playing politics. She knows that if she flatters trump he will move the troops out of her city faster. What Trump is doing will not permanently reduce crime.
Well yes it’s up to the voters to permanently reduce crime. We all see the amazing success Trump is having and will remember at the ballot box

Trump’s DC rhetoric echoes history of racist narratives about urban crime

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has taken control of D.C.’s law enforcement and ordered National Guard troops to deploy onto the streets of the nation’s capital, arguing the extraordinary moves are necessary to curb an urgent public safety crisis.

Even as district officials questioned the claims underlying his emergency declaration, the Republican president promised a “historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse.” His rhetoric echoed that used by conservatives going back decades who have denounced cities, especially those with majority non-white populations or led by progressives, as lawless or crime-ridden and in need of outside intervention.

Trump's false narrative about fighting crime is simply and excuse to go after Black Mayors and specifically in Democratic Blue States.

For example, Houston's crime rate has increased by 20% but it is a Red State and the Mayor is white (John Whitmore). Chicago's crime rate has decreased by over 30% but it is a Blue State and its Mayor is Black (Brandon Johnson).

This Trump narrative is not only racist but political. He is using the word "crime" (something that all people relate to and want it to stop) to go after Blue States. He is using lies because he knows that people in general (especially Trump cult members) are not interested in researching facts but in believing the leader they chose.

He doesn't care about combating crime but about preventing the coming elections from turning around against him. He knows his followers will believe, support, and act on his words.

Here is more proof of what this OP is stating:

Trump suggests more cities need National Guard but crime stats tell a different story

Using the National Guard is a military maneuver that is used by Dictators to seize power. That is exactly what Trump is trying to do:

Urban crime?
That's racist!

Besides, look at these phony crime stats, crime is not a problem.
