Trump pulls out of interview after paper questions dubious claims about crime rate

Federal data shows the national crime rate has dropped under President Biden

Donald Trump backed out of an interview after a local paper asked him for data to back up his continued baseless claims that crime is on the rise under President Joe Biden.

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2024/08/20/donald-trump-howell-michigan-crime-campaign-speech-kamala-harris-illegal-immigration/74844154007/ that Trump’s campaign had agreed to an interview with the former president on Tuesday after a campaign speech. However, the campaign suddenly claimed Trump no longer had time for the interview after a reporter began probing them on crime data.

“The Trump campaign had initially agreed that Trump would participate in an interview with The Detroit News on Tuesday,” state politics reporter Craig Mauger wrote. “But after the newspaper began asking about the Michigan crime data before the event, a campaign aide said the presidential candidate no longer had time for an interview after the speech.”

Talking about crime scares him. He’s very worried the orange uniform will clash with his “tan”.

Pulling out of a scheduled interview as part of a presidential campaign because the interviewer wants you to back up your claim sure is a weird thing to do.

solsangraal ,

back up your claim

i can’t recall a single claim he’s ever made that he “backed up” with anything other than “everybody says so” or something similar

Oh he couldn’t possibly back up his lies. But I love that he’s so terrified of the press asking him to do it that he’s running away from them.

Aren’t the questions usually arranged beforehand? You think that one would prepare in advance.
