evidence: Former President Donald Trump was quick to criticize the data’s limitations, claiming crime is "so much up." He cited a different data source that is only current through 2022, based on a survey of Americans to determine if they were victims of crime. And like Biden, Trump missed part of the story by zooming in to cherry-pick a statistic in his favor. Zooming out to see the big picture, the overall trend in crime victimization suggests that by 2022, crime had returned to pre-pandemic norms. [...] Trump said crime rates are actually up. Is he right? [...] "[Biden] says crime is down," Trump said in a rally in Philadelphia last week. "Crime is so much up." Then, after a long digression about asylum seekers, political correctness, fake news and Biden’s age, Trump returned to the subject. "According to the much better crime victimization survey, there has actually been a 43% increase in violent crime since I left office," Trump said in the speech that aired live on Newsmax.
