Federal data shows the national crime rate has dropped under President Biden
Donald Trump backed out of an interview after a local paper asked him for data to back up his continued baseless claims that crime is on the rise under President Joe Biden.
The Detroit News reported that Trump’s campaign had agreed to an interview with the former president on Tuesday after a campaign speech. However, the campaign suddenly claimed Trump no longer had time for the interview after a reporter began probing them on crime data.
“The Trump campaign had initially agreed that Trump would participate in an interview with The Detroit News on Tuesday,” state politics reporter Craig Mauger wrote. “But after the newspaper began asking about the Michigan crime data before the event, a campaign aide said the presidential candidate no longer had time for an interview after the speech.”
Big strong man can’t handle being questioned.
The Washington Post estimated that during his presidency, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements.
That seems like a really low estimate.
Agreed. There’s only so much budget and time they can commit to fact checking this turd. There’s real news to report on.
20 per day, certainly he had more than 20 interactions per day
That is a very weird way to phrase “Old man throws temper tantrum and refuses to do previously agreed upon interview when called out for lying”
As far as I’m concerned, every media outlet that sugarcoats things, or misrepresent things, or otherwise skews the truth about what the MAGAts are up to are 100% in bed with Republicans, and are mouthpieces for the MAGAgenda
Wish Trump’s dad pulled out!
Pulling out of a scheduled interview as part of a presidential campaign because the interviewer wants you to back up your claim sure is a weird thing to do.
Aren’t the questions usually arranged beforehand? You think that one would prepare in advance.
It was easier to cancel the interview than to provide a source for his claim.
back up your claim
i can’t recall a single claim he’s ever made that he “backed up” with anything other than “everybody says so” or something similar
He had sharpy on a map to back up a claim once.
Yet another crime to throw on the pile.
It’s illegal to misrepresent emergency weather information.
Drawing a sharpie to make people who were not in the forecasted path of a hurricane panic and seek shelter/evacuate should be a minimum fine/90 days in jail.
Obviously neither happened.
I’ve seen police show and threaten arrest up over someone using the emergency broadcast tones too loud at a park on a nice day. But (at the time) commander-in-queef gets free passes to do illegal shit at least once a week.
Totally the same legal system for ruling(owning)/non ruling(the poors) classes.
yea, because it’s the people who make their entire living being experts on the weather who are wrong, not this blubbering moron who refuses to let his school transcripts be made public
Oh he couldn’t possibly back up his lies. But I love that he’s so terrified of the press asking him to do it that he’s running away from them.
I can think of one, around COVID, when his “data” evoked this response
Lol shocking
I liked this at the end of the article:
The Washington Post estimated that during his presidency, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements.
30,000 / (365*4) = 20.548
More than 20 per day, everyday… for 4 years. That’s more than 1 per hour if you exclude the hours he was sleeping. And factoring in all his time playing golf instead of working, he pretty much didn’t say anything that wasn’t a lie.
Just so you know, trump is a known liar. Nothing he says can be taken at face value. Fact check everything.
Who’s got time for fact checking? Just assume he’s lying whenever his mouth is open and enjoy the rest of your day
What a coward
Soft.
That’s pretty weird.
Convicted felon Trump’s kryptonite is a followup question.
Pretty much… Weird coward still is a coward
I really wish this had been more of a thing in the lead up to the first election. Yes um source?
So your source is “trust me bro”?
More like “being asked for proof of patently ridiculous and obviously false claims”
Talking about crime scares him. He’s very worried the orange uniform will clash with his “tan”.
