President Trump on Monday suggested that “a little fight with the wife” should not count when it comes to Washington, D.C., crime statistics amid his crackdown in the nation’s capital.
“Can you imagine our capital being the most violent city? But it was — it was really bad, into a totally safe zone. It’s called a safe zone city. There’s no crime. They said, ‘Crime’s down 87 percent,’ I said, ‘No, no, no, it’s more than 87 percent, virtually nothing,’” Trump said during an event at the Museum of the Bible in D.C.
“And much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime,” he added. “You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime, see?’ So, now I can’t claim 100 percent.”
His comments were part of a speech he delivered at the Religious Liberty Commission’s meeting on Monday.

Black guy kills a Ukrainian woman on a train in cold blood — Democrats: lots of sympathy for the black guy.
Trump says a domestic fight isn’t always a serious crime — Democrats: Trump is a monster.
Trump is great but he has a bad habit of stepping on his own dick. The mSM isn’t looking for ways to report the success of his crime crackdown. Only things with which to distract from the real story and tear him down. And he provides them with the ammo. Every. Time.
Another glitch in reality for them and they always find what they think is a workaround.
Police do nothing when folks have a fight. unless someone is arrested....there is no crime
Note to the enemedia: A domestic is a type of call, not a crime.
Is the DC PD cooking its call stats, too?!
His ego leads him into much of the trouble at times. No need to “talk” here.
I saw the headline and thought “oh no, what did he say now”?
It’s a simple dog against anyone on the left that will look for anything against Trump regardless of how insignificant.... nothing more.
Of course the DC leftists are going to cook the stats. Anything that might make their enemy look good is what they must lie and obfuscate about.
Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest...and the suggestible gobble it up.
It’s not right, but in many jurisdictions if the cops have to come out for a domestic, somebody’s going to jail.
mot in my state...
Agreed. Plus, some older people use the word “fight” for a heated argument, even when there’s no physical fight.
I threw a Corelle plate once...it shattered into THOUSANDS of pieces...I spent my day picking up pieces...he spent his on the golf course...alas
Don’t want to minimize the effects of domestic violence but President Trump is exactly right on his comments on spousal fights
The number of lives ruined and families busted up due to police being called to a domestic dispute is too many.
In many states with draconian domestic violence laws if a wife or husband gets mad and calls police either the husband or wife is going to spend the night in jail - often on bogus charges based on false claims.
Zero police discretion because the legislature wrote a zero tolerance law because the police once were called to a domestic dispute. They cooled the people down but the fight reignited later and the wife was murdered
I know a very well respected doctor who was a great husband and father. His wife got angry, started an argument and called the police to make a false claim he hit her.
The poor guy was arrested and spent the night in jail.
His first action when he was released on bail was to call a divorce attorney.
He was eventually exonerated and his now ex wife was charged with making false statements and did a plea agreement.
Kids were involved
Their family was torn apart.
All for nothing
This has become really commonplace
It’s been going on for decades.
““And much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime,” he added. “You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime, see?’ So, now I can’t claim 100 percent.””
Read the whole thing for context...
For those who think he’s minimizing household violence:
“And much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime,” he added. “You know, they’ll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime, see?’ So, now I can’t claim 100 percent.””
Now they’re counting spats as crimes when they used to discount assaults/robberies and murders...
So Hitlery throwing an ashtray at Slick Willy wasn’t a crime?
