Americans aren't good at estimating whether crime is a problem or not.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Handling crime is a strength for Trump as most Americans see it as a 'major problem' in large cities, AP-NORC poll finds.

One of the most dangerous men in America. Career folks at Trump's DOJ know how to reduce crime. They've historically funded the research base. Please consult them.
Crime stats in big blue cities are fake. The real rates of crime, chaos & dysfunction are orders of magnitude higher. Everyone who lives in these areas knows this. They program their entire lives around it. Democrats are trying to unravel civilization. Pres Trump will save it.

Well said, Chief.
Many ways exist to help state and local agencies combat violent crime. Seizing control of a local LE agency, deploying the National Guard unilaterally, or diverting the focus of talented FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshal’s, and other Federal partners aren’t among them. #RelationalPolicing.

Trump: "I'm against federal intervention into local PDs.". Also Trump: "I'm placing the DC Metro PD under direct federal control.". What a joke.

As @jensottoludwig argues in his latest book, we have a guns + violence problem in America. This could've easily been a shooting, which would have increased the likelihood of death. We must also concentrate on addressing violence.

"Reducing crime and raising standards [of police] are not opposite goals. They’re not mutually exclusive.". @POTUS on 6/6/20 - while signing an EO that laid the ground work for the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, which he subsequently killed earlier in 2025.
