Trump falsely claims US murder rate is 'highest' in 47 years

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump continues to decry a record-high murder rate that simply doesn't exist.

The President said Tuesday that the US murder rate "is the highest it's been in 47 years."
"I'd say that in a speech and everybody was surprised because the press doesn't like to tell it like it is," Trump said during a meeting with US sheriffs at the White House. "It wasn't to their advantage to say that. The murder rate is the highest it's been in I guess 45-47 years."

But the reason there's no reporting on a 45- or 47-year high murder rate is because the US murder rate isn't even close to such record highs.

The US did experience its highest one-year increase in the murder rate in half a century between 2014 and 2015. But still, the murder rate in 2015 was just 4.9 per 100,000 people. That figure is dwarfed by crime figures in the 1990s when the murder rate hovered between 8 and 10 murders per 100,000 people
 
Maybe when he is actually lying.

He actually stated it correctly once before according to Snopes which you love.

He is still a 70 year old man.
 
Senator Blumenthal was a Marine during the Vietnam war although not actually in combat. So he did serve during the Vietnam War.

No, sexually transmitted disease was not his Vietnam.

Stop with the bullshit argument it's fucking tired. You guys do this same shit every time. Somebody brings up your guys bullshit and you try to deflect with the bullshit from the other side. Own your shit!

Snopes is falling out of favor. They've recently been proven to have a slanted view.

Cognitive Dissonance...

Everything he does you don't like is on purpose. Got it. Snopes said he stated the statistics correctly at one point in time and now he is just lying to a bunch of dumb sherrifs that won't have a clue? Got it.

I think you should look into this cognitive dissonance that you seem to suffer from, fix that and THEN accuse people of having it.

You're sitting here defending Trump and you going to talk to me about cognitive dissonance...
 
Trump is throwing fits everyday like spoiled fucking brat. Tweeting lies and stupid rants about anyone who disagrees with him or calls him out. He has his chihuahua Spicer nipping at the presses ankles. I wish he's just shut up and act like a president should.

He can be the biggest asshole on Earth and you won't believe he made a simple mistake.

You don't think he's very smart, not sure I do either but somehow THIS of all the things he has said is a WHOPPER. I don't get it.

If he was smart he'd stay off of Twitter. This I can tell you.

Dude... CAC was questioned about it and her answer was (not verbatim):

What about all the true things he's said.

It's just that folks and you're one of them who don't care about his lies. But you'll believe everything said about Barack.

Watch the video above.

And get real. It's not a simple mistake to say the murder rate is at a 47 year high. It's a lie through and through.

If there is some stat that says it jumped the largest amount in 47 years and he confused it with overall then.....whatever. The Bowling Green Massacre thing is something she said.

You expect me to believe she just figured she would make up an American terrorist attack and nobody would care?

If she did, she is a pathological liar and should be shunned. I'm not defending anyone from anything other than pointing out that there is no intent shown yet.

Once again, people need to stay off of Twitter and Facebook. Trump specifically
 
Trump lies repeatedly. Who gives a shit what his intent is. His process for informing himself is so obviously broken that he should be impeached immediately....and he's a piece of shit.

The point was the dude lied about his service. Meaning, THAT is an outright lie, citing wrong stats on accident or because your ignorant, is completely different.
