Why does the nationwide crime wave smell of Trump? [View all]

Here’s what I think is happening:

1) Trump mobilizes his minions to do shootings, robberies and all sorts of other mayhem.

2) Trump’s minions do what he wants. Vast numbers of mass shootings and property crimes happen.

3) In 2024 Trump runs on an “only I can end this crime wave” platform.

4) When the bastard gets re-elected he immediately orders his minions to stop robbing and killing.
