Quote:President Donald Trump tweeted about a rise in crime in the UK on Friday and made a shaky connection to "radical Islamic terror." Trump tweeted that "United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror," adding that "we must keep America safe."Trump links rise in UK crimes to rise in 'radical Islamic terror' - Business Insider
This is about as absurd as it gets:
- There is no link in the UK between the rise in crime and the rise in Radical Islamic Terror
- "Keep America safe" How about the 30,000 gun deaths a year in the US, which is several orders of magnitude larger than the victims of Radical Islamic Terrorism, which are less than 100 in the 15 years since 9/11.
- Yet we spend billions, if not trillions (wars and interventions all around the world) on the latter and do nothing about the former..
