Counterpoint: it’s entirely possible—and I would argue plausible—that the president has no idea that crime is down in the cities he’s targeted.

What they're doing is right out of "Becoming a Dictator for Dummies." They are attempting to instigate a violent response from the left, so they can go in, full force. This is a time-honored tactic. Lying about crime rates is the premise; otherwise, they'd have to be honest and say,"This is a coup."

Kristi Noem all but admitted this when she accused the wily Portlandians of hiding their “war zones” right before she got there.

Its not conspiratorial to think that when he's lying about it daily.

Even more telling are the 20-40 year charts. We are in relatively safe-from-crime times, but not safe-from-demagoguery times.
