Crime went up in his last term and went down after he left office. It is still down. Also, he’s a criminal. Remember his 34 felonies?

Crime is down across the country and Trump keeps lying about it, declaring any measure he doesn’t like as illegitimate. Reporters really have to stop letting him state his assertions as fact when they clearly have no connection to reality.
