Trump justifying military occupations by citing anecdotal friends' idiocy as proof for his phony crime statistics [View all]

Acyn @Acyn 6hr
Trump: I have friends, they leave their trunk open for their car because they know they will be vandalized. They don't want the trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what's in the back. They leave the doors open when they steal the radio or whatever they take they don't rip off the door.

Trump: I have another friend—he has a garage and in order to save his garage door—he leaves it open so the people can just walk into his garage, take whatever they want and leave.

...his administration has not actually consulted any of the public officials who represent what people want in their states; they're just doing favors for unidentified, anecdotal idiot friends of Trump.
