Trump tweets fake stats that skew black crime
Yesterday, Donald Trump tweeted a series of inaccurate murder statistics from the “Crime Statistics Bureau — San Francisco.” The bureau doesn’t exist and the statistics were fabricated. It appears the numbers were manipulated to perpetuate racism against African Americans. For example, the graphic claims that 81% of whites are killed by blacks. The actual percentage, based on the latest data from the FBI, is 14 percent.
Does anyone care that this guy is just full of shit and says anything he wants, truth be damned?

I just don't get it. The man is out & out lying and no one cares? He keeps making inflamatory statements about refugees, blacks, whatever the topic of the day is & he is lying, but no one seems to care. I just don't get it. This guy is so far from being Presidential. But the more he lies & stirs thing up, the better his poll numbers? I keep hoping he will do something to turn the tide, but he just keeps getting more popular. I just don't get it.

I don't get it either. I've never seen anything like this. And the people who support him are the same ones who still condemn Obama's "keep your doctor" comment or call Hillary a liar for her handling of Benghazi. Unbelievable.
The guy has had some doozies this weekend. First he says he saw thousands of Arabs celebrating on the streets of New Jersey on 9/11....but no one...not the police, not the Governor, not the media....has any record or recollection of it and there is no video of it that he claimed was "widely covered" by the media. LIE. And not only a lie, a lie meant to increase Islamaphobia and fan the hatred. Despicable.
Then he tweets completely wrong and fabricated numbers in an attempt to make black crime stats look worse.
Add this to his birther stuff and he's is a complete fraud.
I read a report this morning showing that his supporters are mostly Republicans without a college education, and that they'll believe almost anything he says because they "like him". My question is, did they go to grade school?

Re: Trump tweets fake stats that skew black crime
I wonder the same thing, Shiny. I had to unfriend my cousin from Ohio on FB this week because she keeps posting lies & made up things about President Obama. Stuff like "he's coming to take your guns" and other stupid memes about "hating on the President". It really makes me sick that in this time when we should be unifying, our country is divided by lies. This is exactly whar ISIS wants. To weaken our country by division. My cousin in Ohio did not even graduate High School and has never even been outside the state of Ohio. But she sure is full of hatred & fear. From what I see on FB, she is not alone.

Re: Trump tweets fake stats that skew black crime
Sam I find that some of the most fearful ppl are those whom have never left their state. I think it is called being sheltered lol! Serious note, they fear what they do not know & cannot fathom that life in America isn't a carbon copy of their little bubble.

Re: Trump tweets fake stats that skew black crime
It defies reason that so many people support Donald Trump. I do think that if he wins the primaries he is going to have a rude awakening. He is going to topple from the pedestal he has placed himself on. It will be whole different ball game and he given the other party a lot of stuff to use against him and they will. What is working well for him now will not work well after the primaries. In fact I suspect much will come back to bite him in the butt.
No matter how educated, talented, rich, or cool you think you are, how you treat people tells us all. Integrity is everything.

Re: Trump tweets fake stats that skew black crime
"It’s become a full-time job just running down falsehoods like the phony crime statistics he tweeted, which came from a white supremacist group. History teaches that failing to hold a demagogue to account is a dangerous act. It’s no easy task for journalists to interrupt Mr. Trump with the facts, but it’s an important one."
