In a speech at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., on Monday, President Trump downplayed the seriousness of domestic violence, while claiming that crime is down after he deployed National Guard troops to the district.

President Donald Trump: “And 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%. But we are — we are a safe city.”
