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.
