FBI data shows that President Donald Trump has helped save more than 1,000 lives by reversing the crime wave that emerged amid President Barack Obama’s crackdown on state and local police forces.
Nationwide, homicides spiked to 15,195 in 2016, up from 12,278 murders in 2014 when Obama and his progressive and media allies began blaming police forces for multiple episodes in which young black men were killed.
Since then, Trump has ended the White House support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and the number of murders was forced down to 14,123 in 2018, according to new FBI data. The murder rate dropped by 6.8 percent from 2017 to 2018.
The combined reduction in murders in 2017 and 2018 adds up to roughly 1,318 Americans who did not die from murder since Obama’s departure in early 2017. The savings amount to approximately two fewer dead each day. A large percentage of the people who did not die are African-American.
If Obama had kept the murder rate at the 2014 level, 9,304 Americans would not have been murdered from 2015 to 2018.
Overall, the violent crime rate fell by 3.3 percent from 2017 to 2018, after rising by 4.7 percent from 2014.

NO. No. Just no.
The absurd assertions and conclusions are jaw droppingly incoherent. The President, is responsible for homicide rates? Obama, who supported Black Lives matter, a group LITERALLY focused on reducing black homicides, this caused higher black homicide.
But Trump, by way of doing nothing and not supporting Black Lives matter, caused black homicide rates to go down.
These are the presuppositions and conclusions you expect us to buy. Next time, why not just run the headline "You are so stupid, you'll just accept any ol' schlock we feed you to make Trump more electably good"
This is incredible. I am a republican who voted for Trump, and I demand better than this.
My Google keyboard if I type President, the next suggested word is Obama. Things that make you go "hmmm"...

Google pulls up YOUR google search history. So, YOU are looking up Obama.
Example, I type "President", and the first fill in for me is "Pence is terrifying", followed up by "didn't take a salary" followed by "trump"
Things that make you go hmm....
