Donald Trump declares 'cities under siege' with surging crime rates post-debate revelation

Former President Donald Trump has announced what he calls “MASSIVE NEWS” regarding the latest crime statistics released by the Department of Justice.

In a fervent message, Trump asserts that the new data corroborates his debate claims about rising crime rates across the nation.

“The Department of Justice just released brand new Crime Data showing I was absolutely and completely right at the Debate,” Trump wrote. He emphasized the severity of the situation, stating, “In fact, the Data is even worse than we could have ever imagined.”

According to the figures cited by Trump, violent crime has surged nearly 40 percent compared to 2020. The statistics paint an alarming picture: Rape is reportedly up 42 percent, aggravated assaults have increased by 55 percent, and violent crime involving weapons has risen by 56 percent. Trump highlighted a 61 percent increase in violent attacks on strangers and a 42 percent spike in car thefts. Moreover, he noted that the most serious forms of violent crime are up by 55 percent.

“Our Cities are UNDER SIEGE,” Trump declared, expressing deep concern over the state of urban areas. He further claimed that this data does not account for what he described as “the Migrant Crime and Migrant Rape spree that has overtaken our Cities in recent months.”

In a pointed critique, he concluded with a stark warning: “Kamala Crime is destroying America, and gangs are taking over!” Trump’s statement underscores his ongoing narrative of rising crime as a critical issue facing the nation.
