If we were without Trump, then that in itself would lower the crime rate.

Did the "high" crime rate include his insurrection?

It's not about being supposed "soft" or "strong" on crime. It is about being smart or simplistic.

Trump hates being fact checked on national television interviews.

STOP talking as if Trump uses any kind of rational argument in the first place. They've always tried to say they are tougher on crime when they weren't.

Stop acting like anything about Trumps' campaign is NORMAL. It isn’t.

Crimes not reported doesn't make the real rate lower.

Democrats will have the last laugh. Let's all support VP Harris for her presidency. She's competent for the job. 😊.

Democrat DA refusing to prosecute criminals is not really lower crime rates. 🤔🤔🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

[squiggyg.]

The reality is police organizations do not have to report crime. It’s all just political theater.

[dreamhunter]

Trump is loosing. He never dreamt Harris would run instead of Biden and can't figure out an angle of attack on her without showing his true
He is running out of Time.... The Truth is He lost this election the moment Joe dropped out😂.... The only way he can flip rhis is if he wins the debate, BY A MILE.... and we all know Kamala will smoke him in the debate... 😆🤣

With 3 bankruptcies, Trump is a container without content.

[squiggyg.]

What did they actually do? What policies actually were effective? Order did a bunch of Democrat police executives say it’s so. There’s still a lot of violent crime. How much is good for you?
