During an event at Washington, D.C.’s Museum of the Bible on Monday, the president suggested domestic violence shouldn’t be considered a crime.

It appeared he was dismissing such actions because calling domestic violence a crime hurts his claim that crime has seriously dropped in D.C. since he deployed the National Guard last month.

“They said crime’s down 87%. I said, ‘No, no, no, it’s more than 87%. Virtually nothing,’” Trump said during his speech, before suggesting domestic violence shouldn’t be considered a crime.


“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%.”

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC and adds the crimes that are happening are "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 is a crime. See?'"

Trump said crime in Washington, D.C., would be nonexistent if local authorities
stopped counting "a little fight with the wife."
