President Donald Trump has made disparaging remarks about Oakland many times, and he did it again in the Tuesday night debate with former Vice President Joe Biden.
Fox News' Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate, asked the president about his frequent assertion that cities with Democratic leadership are more violent than Republican-run ones. When Wallace said Republican-controlled cities show similar trends of violent crime, Trump launched into a stream-of-consciousness response that, at one point, included an assertion that Oakland was "more violent" under President Barack Obama and asked where law and order was under the Obama-Biden watch.
"Look at Oakland, look what happened in Baltimore, look what happened, frankly it was more violent than what I am even seeing now," the president said.
"Oh, my god," Biden said.
"The reason is the Democrats in the cities," Trump went on.

The best thing to see is the USS Hornet. But it’s in Alameda, not Oakland.
What GOP-controlled cities are showing increases in violent crime? Weenie Wallace is full of Schiff.
I still hear it from time to time. Not kidding about this. Pop pop pop around midnight.
Yup.
It was around 9, my time so midnight sounds right.
It worried me to death but he said he was safe in his house above it.
It’s been decades...I hope he’s still alive and well.
Why would be they be upset?
Unless someone calls me from Oakland I make zero sales calls there.
LOL
Yep
Skip Oakland, Emeryville, Richmond....

Is rain wet? Yes they did
This is true because they have not been sustained as Portland and Seattle have. But when there have been the latest incidents like Breonna Taylor and such they are out there.
Ok, then anyone complaining should put on a Trump hat and be white, and walk across town with no security. A camera can film from a tint window car.
Show us how safe Oakland is.
Nothing good ever happens on MLK Boulevard.
That is true in any city where there is a MLK Boulevard
Flak over target.....
oakland,ca crime stats With a crime rate of 68 per one thousand residents, Oakland has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 15.
somebody list the various mayors and US congressmen/women who ran Oakland over the decades.
I can name Rep. Ronald Dellums (D-CA), one of the top communists in the history of the US House of Representatives.
I believe Mad Maxine Waters is from Oakland and was previously one of the city’s leaders.
Reds tried to stop US trains taking supplies to ships in the port during the Vietnam war.
Black Panthers were a criminal force there.
Was Mary Quan a mayor there? An old Red Chinese asset.
Oakland, not a problematic area...
LOL
Its true however. Very true
