Donald Trump, addressing the Religious Liberty Commission, made some strange and shocking remarks about the recent drop in crime in Washington D.C., which he attributed to the presence of the military.During his speech, Trump, seeking to pat himself on the back for sending troops to what he described as among the “worst, most violent cities” in Washington D.C., claimed that crime had fallen far more than the 87% officially reported, declaring that it was “more than 87%”.The president’s statements, echoed by several media outlets, quickly sparked a wave of outrage, while this kind of downplaying of domestic violence is proving not only dangerous, but a serious step backwards.
