Trump Questions Whether Having 'A Little Fight With The Wife' At Home Can Be A Crime

The president appeared to make light of domestic violence during an event at a Bible museum.
President Donald Trump made an eyebrow-raising comment about crime statistics on Monday while he boasted that the nation’s capital was safer than ever during an event at Washington’s Museum of the Bible.
Trump asserted that crime had dropped enormously since he ordered a federal takeover of the city, but that an ill-defined group of opponents were trying to undermine his success by including domestic unrest in the city’s crime statistics.
“They said crime’s down 87%. I said, ‘No, no, no, it’s more than 87%. Virtually nothing,’” Trump told the Religious Liberty Commission in a speech that was broadcast live.
He went on: “Much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. 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%.”
