But what is reality, despite Trump and Rudy's demented screaming about NYC being on fire today, that current crime rates are far lower than when Rudy was mayor. If crime rates in the 90s were Dinkin's fault, so were crime rates in the 00s under Rudy.

The truth is, despite the bleating from Fauxnews, NYC remains one the safest cities in the United States. Far safer than OKC or Tulsa.

Trump is just pissed the city allowed a BLM street painting by his building.

I could go on and on.
