Jen Psaki Devastates Crime Hypocrite Trump [View all]

MSNBC’s Jen Psaki debunked Trump’s lies about crime and showed that the ex-president isn’t law and order, but pro-criminal.

Trump often calls out rampant crime in New York City; specifically, in reality, major crime has plummeted there by more than 75% over the past 30 years. And it’s even down this year over the last year. Trump also claims, I mean, he claims this a lot that he would be tougher on crime than President Joe Biden. In reality, Trump’s last budget from when he was president, when he was doing budgets actually proposed funding cuts for local law enforcement. You could say that’s literally trying to defund the police. You could say that.

President Biden has consistently in all of his budgets proposed far more in funding and Trump of course, claims all the time that he will restore law and order. You just heard over and over and over again in that clip, which is pretty rich considering Trump is also telling us that one of his highest priorities on day one is actually releasing criminals from prison. Namely these people, the people who stormed the US Capitol who infiltrated the hallways and chambers of Congress who made lawmakers fear for their lives and who tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power by force.


It is unbelievable on its surface that man who is charged with 91 felonies is running as the law and order candidate for president. It would have been unfathomable even 20 years ago that the party that used to consider itself the law and order party would nominate a candidate that was charged with 91 felony counts as their presidential candidate.
