Big shout out to whoever was able to help Trump elevate his 3rd grade level understanding of percentages!
"There is none" -- Trump says crime is "down 100 percent" in DC
Why do libs talk about math like this? Basically all of cities Trump has proposed sending the national guard to have some of the worst schools in the nation - Chicago, Baltimore, etc…
from the White House website:
”Mathematics and reading scores are down in public schools, despite per-pupil spending having increased by more than 245% since the 1970s, indicating that more spending does not mean better education.13-year-olds’ mathematics scores are the lowest they have been in decades. 13-year-olds’ reading scores are the lowest since testing began over 30 years ago. Low-performing students are falling further behind. In 2023, 13 Baltimore, Maryland, high schools had zero students who tested proficient in mathematics”
I defy you to show me one inner city student that claimed he could reduce prices by 1500%.

While we are at it, the following cities are in the top ten cities (pop > 100,000) for murder rates and/or bottom ten for public school test scores.
St. Louis, Missouri
New Orleans, Louisiana
Cleveland, Ohio
Memphis, Tennessee
Kansas City, Missouri
Las Vegas, Nevada
Kansas City, Kansas
And yet, inexplicably, there has been no talk from the Trump administration about sending in the national guard.
Oh wait, in late breaking news, it turns out that Missouri, Louisiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Nevada and Kansas all voted for Trump. All the cities that Trump has talked about (or acted upon) sending in the troops lie in states that voted Democrat. My what a coincidence!
Which seems more likely:
1) Trump is the Great Uniter, bringing all the benefits of a national guard takeover first to states that voted against him in order to bring the country together, going out of his way to serve even those who voted against him.
OR
2) The purpose of sending in the national guard is a wee bit different than "to protect and serve" and maybe, just maybe, has a bit more to do with "to dominate, intimidate and exact revenge".

Hmmmm . . . tough call (scratching my chin)
I've concluded that many red-state Republicans should be super pissed that Trump isn't sending in the national guard to clean up their very dangerous cities and states, while clearly giving preference to the blue states by helping them.
Why doesn't Trump care about the out-of-control violence and MURDER in red states?
When do the MAGA Americans march in protest of this unfair neglect?
How do you start a Self-infected Recession ? From today's report !
"Hiring increased 41,000 to 5.308 million in July. Layoffs rose 12,000 to 1.808 million. The labor market has slowed, with economists blaming President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Labor supply has also declined amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown"
I live in KCMO, am a democrat, and am well aware of the crime. I am also aware that the mayor of Kansas City has no control over the KCMO Police Department. It is controlled by the state (republican state congress and governor). To blame high crime on democratic mayors who have no control over their police departments, which are controlled by republicans aiming to make the democrats fail for political influence, is hilarious.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will no longer be under the control of the mayor’s office and instead will be overseen by a governor-appointed board. It's similar to the Confederate-era system that manages Kansas...
I am so old that I remember when Trump assured is that tariffs would immediately usher in a US manufacturing boom!
ISM: "US manufacturing contracted for a sixth straight month in August as factories dealt with the fallout from the Trump administration's import tariffs, with some manufacturers describing the current business environment as 'much worse than the Great Recession'"
Don't worry, the trade balance in goods is also going in the wrong direction over the last 4 months.
Four year average of Trump's first term: -$71.0B
Four year average of Biden's term: -$93.7B
Average of Trump's second term: $-119.4B
Tariffs have caused the trade deficit to go from -$85.9B in April to -$103B in August, while the US has lost manufacturing and factory jobs. Trump's economic policies are a complete failure and his only hope is that the courts save him.
This is fascinating to see how the Trump family justifies their blatant crypto scam corruption. Essentially saying: It’s your fault we need to do it because you tried to hold us accountable for lesser corruption!
I said years ago that Trump was running for office to stay out of jail and to be made whole from his legal fines. Hes just broadcasting it out loud.
NEWSMAX: You know there are critics who say 'how can the family be involved with crypto when your dad, the president, is working on legislation.' How do you silence them? DONALD TRUMP JR: Maybe you shouldn't have tried to sue us into oblivion over nothing. Maybe you shouldn't have tried to jail us

Why should Trump be forced to 100% divest from his businesses? He did it fully “by the book” in his first term and still had a ton of people b!tching about him not selling his great properties. So now he won’t pretend to care anymore.

If you were Trump - the victim of a ton of lawfare - would you not want to exact revenge?

Bank robber: The reason I rob banks is because you guys tried to jail me and fine me when I was robbing convenience stores!

Trump was not sued or indicted for not divesting of his business. It was for business and charity fraud and committing crimes.

Why you talking about states. They are all Democrat-controlled cities. Are you really this dumb?

Who cares who controls the city? If the point is to make AMERICA safer, then Trump should have the National Guard on the fast track into those cities, post haste.
And you should be pissed that he hasn't done it already.
