"Speaking at the Museum of the Bible earlier today, Donald Trump appeared to minimize the severity of domestic violence, complaining that it is a crime "if a man has a little fight with the wife." He was saying that crime has decreased since his federal takeover of D.C., claiming that statistics show crime is down 87% but that in reality, crime is down "more than 87%." The reason that he's not getting credit for crime being down even further, he claimed, is that there are things that are counted as crimes that should not be. Like domestic violence."
""Much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime," Trump said. "You know, they'll do anything they can to find something." "If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100%. " Trump then said that people can now walk to restaurants and to the White House, which people were doing before. He then got applause from the crowd."
Donald Trump minimized domestic violence by characterizing spousal incidents as "a little fight with the wife" and suggesting such incidents are counted as lesser crimes. He claimed crime has decreased since his federal takeover of D.C., citing statistics of crime being down 87% or "more than 87%," and argued that certain domestic incidents reduce the apparent size of the decline. He framed some household incidents as being improperly classified as crimes. He spoke at a Religious Liberty Commission hearing about forthcoming Department of Education guidance and expressed a desire to protect "the Judeo-Christian values of our founding."
