25 Tweets President Trump Wants You To Forget
25. Fake Crime Statistics
Trump caught a ton of ire last year when he re-tweeted this image which made claims about murder statistics between races...which turned out to be totally false.

The cited source for the data was San Francisco’s Crime Statistics Bureau...which doesn't actually exist.
More to the point, the image cites 81% of white murder victims were killed by black people, when in fact official statistics from the FBI put the number at around the 15% mark.
The fact the U.S. even has a President prepared to accept these numbers at face value is beyond embarrassing: it's legitimately terrifying.
