Trump floats radical new threats against those who say what he doesn’t want to hear

Donald Trump has made no secret of his contempt for crime statistics. Indeed, after the president militarized the nation’s capital, prompting observers to note that crime rates are down across the board in Washington, D.C. — violent crime rates, in particular, have reached a 30-year low — Trump didn’t just condemn the data, his Justice Department even launched an investigation into the statistics he doesn’t like.
