It's okay. I don't believe half of what Trump says anyway. Crime has dropped overall, only the racial violence and cop killing has went up under race baiter Obama. Of that there is no doubt. Black on black violence is astronomical, and ignored.

@AV8R :
 
That is about right. About half of what he says is true, but its distorted.
 
Yes, the number of hispancis living in poverty has increased because the net number of hispanics has increased, however their poverty rate is about the same or perhaps has declined - slightly (depending upon how you spin the numbers)
 
Yes, the trade deficit is a really big number! Bigger than it has ever been! But the GDP is also an even really bigger number, bigger than it has ever been also. The trade deficit, as a percentage of GDP has remained about the same the past several years.
 
Illegal immigration is in a declining trend and Obama is the deporter in chief. Obama has deported over 2 million illegal immigrants, and has deported more illegal immigrants than any president in history.

CHICAGO — Murders in the nation's third-largest city are up about 72%, while shootings have surged more than 88% in the first three months of 2016 compared with the same period last year, according to data released Friday by the Chicago Police Department.
 
Police said the disturbing rise in violence is driven by gangs and mostly contained to a handful of pockets on the city's South and West sides.
 
“While CPD will remain tireless in its efforts to hold criminals accountable for their actions, we all have a part to play in creating a safer Chicago,” newly appointed interim Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a statement. “In the coming weeks and months, I plan on meeting with and listening to a range of Chicagoans — from activists and elected officials to ministers and parents — to find ways that we can come together to build mutual trust and lasting partnerships that will make our streets safer for everyone.”
 
The city has seen 141 murders this year, compared with 82 murders at the same point last year. Police reported 677 shootings this year compared with 359 at the same point last year.
 
The grim rise in violence comes after the Chicago Police Department reported 468 murders in 2015, a 12.5% increase from the year before. There were 2,900 shootings in 2015, 13% more than the year before, according to Police Department records.
 
The rise in violence comes as the police department reported a decrease in investigative stops by cops on the streets during the first two months of the year. The police department entered an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union, which went into effect Jan. 1, to record contact cards for all street stops after the organization criticized the city's police for disproportionately targeting minorities for questioning and searches.

So crime in his hometown is up - significantly - with most black on black and gang related. Did I miss the Presidents march in Chicago along with the NAACP to call for law abiding citizens? What about the almost 40% minority youth unemployment? Have I missed where executive leadership leads legislative assembly to take action at a jobs bill/tax reform that was centrist in nature? Facts will be spewed and twisted - but the harsh reality is that the last 8 years have fallen well short of providing HOPE. The Donald isn't my cup of tea, but the alternative is far worse. The Canadian charity should be disbanded and Trumps taxes should be released before either should be allowed sworn in to office.

@Ptownliferalmost :
 
There was a big push to fund infrastructure improvements. That is a jobs bill. But the congress can't seem to figure out a way to fund it, so it stalls waiting.
 
With interest rates and treasury bills at all time lows, its a really economical time to make infrastructure investments.
 
Trump proposed building infrastructure in his speech last night, but he didn't bother with th pesky details about how to fund it.

When are we going to address white on white crime? 82% of whites killed are killed by other white people. 90% of blacks killed are killed by other black people. That isn't that great of a difference.
