@pondo , He used the wrong words. The statistic source he referenced was of violent crimes. Total crime, though, is down in Germany.

The report he used is from a study commissioned by the German government, published this January, which measured the effect of the asylum flow from 2015 and 2016 on violent crime in Lower Saxony. This is a part of the country where 9 percent of the population were born abroad and 170,000 people are asylum-seekers.

Based on figures from the state’s interior ministry, between 2007 and 2014, crime in this region was down 21.9 percent. Yet between 2015 and 2016, it jumped by 10.4 percent (the source of @donald_trump ‘s statistics) of which 92.4 percent came from newly arrived immigrants. The same report found that between 2014 and 2016, solved violent crimes that were committed by asylum-seekers shot up from 4.3 percent to 13.3 percent.

Based on figures from the state’s interior ministry, the report suggested that 92.1% of this increase was attributable to migrants.

His tweet was incorrect. He should have said “violent crime” then his statement would have been more accurate.

The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!

… and I don’t think Trump is a psychopath. Sociopath maybe. You need to be a sociopath to do well in business. Some may dispute he is a good business man using that he has filed bankruptcies 11 times – this was with just 6 companies. He has over 500 businesses. That is 1.2 % of his companies failed. The national average is around 50% fail in 5 years and over 95% failing within 10 years. He is actually very good at business.

Pondo he lied or was inaccurate about this because he lies or is inaccurate about pretty much everything.  

Pretty much everything? I don’t believe that. I do know that he was inaccurate in this by leaving out the word “violent” as I stated above.

I do believe that most of the media (Fox news included) lies about, knowingly omits the pertinent details, massively conflates, or purposely misinterprets pretty much every thing that Trump says or does.

I am constantly pulling up transcripts and documents from the government sites and databases to relay to people on twitter who have taken what the media says about Trump as truth. I usually get reported as a Russian bot and blocked for revealing that what is being said by them are inaccurate. I am blocked by several media outlets on twitter for simply posting the correct or un-edited article or transcript or video that shows they are intentionally deceiving their audience in their reports on Trump. It happens almost every day. They attack the me as the messenger of the information to keep people from considering the information. They, as journalists, have access to the same information I do but chose to not reveal the full information. I get blocked for linking to the info. I don’t even attack them, I just post, without comment, the correct or unedited info/video/transcript. Some seem to find that to be enough to justify reporting me and blocking me. Many (non-media) twitter users will reply back with multi post strings of massive verbal attacks then immediately block me to prevent me from responding back.
