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.”
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.
So the key to keep him running away is to have the media actually ask him real questions? Let’s keep asking and he’ll never be on TV again other than fox.
But that would require media outlets to actually have editorial independence. Sadly those days are long gone.
D’ya Like Dags?
Dags?
I watched the debate between Trump and Biden and could hardly believe that there were no fact checks at all from the moderators. Sure, it would have been good if Biden had pointed out more clearly that almost every statement Trump made was factually incorrect. But can you really just tell any tall tales in your presidential debates without even mentioning any facts? That seems absurd. Is that the norm for presidential debates in the US? Or is it just that Trump would not have participated if there were fact checks?
Trump lies at a rate where fact checkers can’t keep up.
I don’t think so. It’s just the same lies he repeats over and over again.
Repeating lies is essential to get the “poorly educated” to believe.
Someone called the Trump Trot.
The media are owned by the oligarchs and those mostly back Trump. Simple as that.
I can’t argue with that.
He’s really banking on the crazies overthrowing the election isn’t he?
Honestly yes. Not on the mob of MAGAs, but on states refusing to certify the results.
He is, and they’re a lot closer to getting that done than you’d like to believe.
What a coward
The Washington Post estimated that during his presidency, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading statements.
Talking about crime scares him. He’s very worried the orange uniform will clash with his “tan”.
That’s pretty weird.
Wish Trump’s dad pulled out!
shit they almost got him again
Someone got me on that scared, scared little man gif? I haven’t quite figured them out on Boost, not that I tried terribly hard
