trump rant no. 5422

Trump loves to talk shit about Seattle and our new “communist” mayor and how he might remove the World Cup (which, of course, he can’t). But from a recent Seattle Times article.

Seattle is one of the safer of the 11 U.S. cities hosting World Cup games. The Washington Post tallied the latest homicide rates in big cities, and Seattle’s rate this year, 4 murders per 100,000 population through Oct. 31, is among the lowest. We’re tied with Boston and just behind San Francisco and New York, both at 3 per 100,000.

Trump never mentions the most dangerous World Cup cities. Those are Dallas (12 murders per 100,000), Atlanta (16 per 100,000) and Kansas City (39 per 100,000).

So you’re nearly 10 times more likely to be killed in Kansas City than in Seattle.

I don’t every now and then it’s worth just hi-lighting the actual facts that Trump never does.
