The media keeps going out of its way to fact check President Trumps claims as false. The Washington Posts Philip Bump is one of many journalists who cant be bothered with considering the most obvious interpretations of what Trump says. Instead, he ventures into the nonsensical.

I heard that Trump said something on some sort of topic. I would like to say two things in response: He has no evidence for whatever he just said, and in fact his claim has already been debunked. [/s]

Democrats dont run all the large cities. Of the 100 largest cities, Republicans run 29, Democrats 64, independents 3, and four are non-partisan.
Of the 20 largest cities, Republicans run four and Democrats run 16. The Republican cities are much safer. In 2018, the violent crime rate was 72% higher in cities run by Democrats, and the murder rate was 83% higher. Even once you move out of the very largest cities, the results are the same. Of the 50 largest cities, Republicans control 13 and Democrats 37. Cities run by Democrats have a 74% higher violent crime rate and a 109% higher murder rate.

John Lott (2020): “the media ... ignore important facts to claim that Trump made an error.”
George Orwell (1949): :It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to [Socialism], and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction.”

Can you provide any evidence that Trump’s statement was false? You might want to read the piece linked here first before you make your claim.

Do ya see that little "[/s]" at the end of my post? Do ya?
I debated whether I needed it. I said, "My statement is so ludicrous, so over the top, such a parody of stupid Leftist drivel, that surely anyone will know I am being sarcastic." But then I thought a little more and I said, "Some people have no sense of humor and just never see sarcasm for what t is." I said, "This will go over their heads." So I added the "[/s]" so that everyone would know that I was mocking Leftist drivel.
But I guess that escaped you.

I looked for Trump’s list and the best I could find is a list of the 25 most dangerous cities. And every single one of them had a Democrat mayor.
