Donald Trump Tweets Fake, Racist And Wildly Inaccurate Murder Statistics
Donald Trump, the leading candidate in the Republican presidential primary, tweeted a graphic with fake statistics about murders in the United States.
The statistics are also racist and wildly inaccurate.
The FBI’s 2014 report, which was released in late September, reveals that the statistics in Trump’s graphic are fake and designed to stoke racial prejudice against blacks.
Trump’s graphic states that 81% of whites who are murdered are murdered by blacks. This is false. The actual data shows that 14% of white murder victims are murdered by a black person. (In 2013, it was 13.6%.)
The percentage of blacks murdered by other blacks (89.9%) is similar to the percentage of whites murdered by other whites (82.3%). Trump’s graphic falsely states that 97% of blacks are killed by other blacks but just 16% of whites are killed by other whites.

At least with his base. 
I thought he would lay low then pull this stuff after he got the nomination but looks like ol' Donny boy is going full steam ahead and off the rails. Its going to get to a point where the GOP leadership is going to start 2nd guessing their support if he continues tweeting out blatantly racist shit and asking his supporters to beat up Black and Hispanic demonstrators.
I just see President Trump going on national television or his twitter page and threatening to launch nukes on Russia or China in one hour unless they agree to whatever term he sets forth.
