So, why did you say, "I thought you insisted all politicians lie"?
I never said they came FROM a politician, so since you keep adding bullshit no one said...
PLONK!
Crime was up... you KNOW it was up, but you just want to try to make it all seem it was made up to get Trump into office.
No... the impetus behind the lies and what was made up, was the opposite... it was to try and get a Democrat elected, as if THEY
were the reason crime went down.
LOL.
DC Police crime figures:
Carjackings: Down 83%
Robbery: Down 46%
Car thefts: Down 21%
Violent crime: Down 22%
Since Trump surged police and national guard in Washington: DC has gone a week without a murder, the first time in a summer that
has occurred on record. Carjackings are down 83% and robberies are down nearly half. Pretty incredible crime results already:

Why do I believe those figures?
Because they came straight from the DC Police and NOT a politician and NOT the news media, which BOTH will lie about to stay in
power.
These are the facts.
If you have refutations for them, please... DO post.
If not...
PLONK!

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
