The One Crime Trump Doesn’t Seem to Have a Problem With? Domestic Violence.

/

Speaking at the Museum of the Bible on Monday, President Donald Trump repeated one of his favorite falsehoods as of late: That his deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, has virtually eliminated crime in the nation’s capital.
