It is no surprise that you love Trump's trolling and ignore how inappropriate it is for someone in his position. Trolling is attention-seeking behavior. Trump is a person who intentionally causes trouble, spreads negativity, and takes pleasure from causing other folks’ distress. His trolling is childish behavior. Good leadership is serious adult business. You admire a clown who is not a leader and never will be ::)


He does it to wind up Loony Leftist Libturds & it works every time 😂🤣😂
Just look at yourself/ Necrosis of the Brain / LurkingForBoys etc
Always frothing at the mouth about DONALD he said this / he did this etc
If I were Donald I'd be laughing all day every day at how easy it is to upset
You morons- If you lot had an iota of sense between you you'd all ignore Him &
He'd very likely stop it.
The fact that you're all 24/7 obsessed with anything he says / posts or does
Goes to show how much TDS you all have.

per capita there are a lot of cities higher then Chicago.

Regardless this method isn't scalable, hasn't been shown to lead to meaningful reduction long term, causes huge impacts across multiple markers and is quite costly. It also opens up weaponizing the military and I am shocked that small government right wingers want the federal government stepping in, in any capacity.

Which specific cities have the highest crime rates?

Ya thats the highest violent crime cities per capita. For overall crime its heavily red leaning. Property theft, B and E etc..

My point is that I suspect this is politically motivated and there are equally (perhaps better) reasonable targets with higher crime rates.

I would also suspect one should base it on the direction of crime rates, are they decreasing, increasing etc.

I will say grape ape has swayed me a little on this tbf

The cities run by Democrat mayors are the problem.  But politicians are being intellectually dishonest by citing red "states," rather than the the cities, where mayors have a much greater impact on crime than governors.  What the facts show is a disproportionate number of cities run by Democrats are infested with crime.

I don't believe that is true if you are talking about overall crime though.

I would have to look through it in more detail.

I think most people are referring to violent crime when they cite these statistics.

Yeah not surprising.  Thanks. 

I have a former employee who moved from Hawaii to San Francisco a couple years ago.  She and her husband are both Democrats.  After they got settled she and her husband were shocked at how bad the crime and homelessness is.  She actually said her husband and she agreed that this would not be a problem if they were in a red city.  Now that is when reality really hits you in the face.

I wouldn't and didn't think that is what people were referring to. However, I would venture its more impactful, violent crime that is.

Regardless I think its a silly idea.

Getting rid of crime is something that should be a bipartisan endeavor.

But the correction pendulum swung too far when the bail reform hit, crimes stopped getting prosecuted, defund the police, etc..........and thus we are now divided.

No democrat will dare partner with Trump, so we may be stuck for awhile.

According to 2024 FBI data these were the cities with  the highest crime rates.
Memphis, Tennessee – red  state – red city – mayor is Democratic
Detroit, Michigan – purple state – blue city – mayor is Unaffiliated
Baltimore, Maryland – blue state – blue city –  mayor is Democratic
St. Louis, Missouri – red state – blue city --  mayor is Democratic
Jackson, Mississippi – red state – battle ground – mayor is Democratic
New Orleans, Louisiana – red state – blue city – mayor is Democratic
Cleveland, Ohio – red state – blue city – mayor is Democratic

In January 2025, sixty-five of the 100 largest cities had Democratic mayors and twenty-five of the 100 largest cities had Republican mayors.

You moved the goal posts, (criterion). What you originally asked was,
Which specific cities have the highest crime rates?

You did not ask about either the state or city political leanings, or which party the mayor of the city is affiliated with. Also, mayoral races may be either partisan or non-partisan. Will this be your next question, (deflection)?

He wasn't deflecting.  He was continuing the conversation.

The cities that are in the shit are mostly run by democrats.

And it's not surprising to any thinking person.

No questions.  Just read Grape Ape's post and learn.   :)

This is moronic, your rationale is the crime is out of control thus you need to sed the military in lolol
I stopped reading here, I assume the rest of your post is stupid as fuck. Yes, if the local government has lost control of criminals, is incapable of controlling the criminal population or complicate in the criminal element, then the feds should step in and take control to knock the criminal aspect down. Once they leave it's up to the local government to maintain the peace and control that was established. If your local government cannot stop or control the criminal element, then maybe they should be replaced with people that take control of criminals.

Also, how the fuck will this lower crime? in the short term, maybe, who knows. In the long term what benefit would this temporary retarded action have?

I love how you conflate arguing against sending the military in to a city that doesn't want it when the logic of why its being done doesnt check out and the person doing it is a vindictive little manchild.

Just go along with daddy lil boy. You will do what trump says and defend him till the end. You are happy to unleash the government on fellow citizens if they think differently than you, typical narc behaviour.

Enjoy the mcarthyism/isolationism

'thus you need to sed the military in'   🤡

All those years where this shit went along just fine and now you need the military. Stop, it's a stupid plan that won;t do shit and if you think its about crime then you haven't been paying attention to what Trump is doing.

Let's see what happens. I am sure he will lie like he does about literally everything else. The guy just gaslights the populace.

I'm not as diplomatic nor do I have the patience as Dos or Grape which is why stupid crap like this pisses me off. This is either 1. a leftist talking point or 2. You're really this ignorant.

If you're not ignorant you know damn well blue ran cities in red states are the problem, not just red states in general. Most all of the major dem ran cities even in the red states are the problems. You don't see cashless bail, DA's not prosecuting, catch and release criminals (N.Carolina anyone?), sanctuary cities, etc in red ran cities. In my city it's specifically noted that we are not a sanctuary city.

Thanks for your opinion. I guess you could say when one follows up a question with additional questions that could have been asked originally since they all relate to that first question, it is continuing the conversation. It seems to me it would be easier and more honest to simply ask the question you meant to in the first place instead of asking it in drips and dribbles.
