Sometimes, you have to wonder if Donald Trump just talks to hear himself speak. Nothing else can logically explain his latest rant, where he pins crime squarely on the shoulders of blacks & Latinos.
According to The Huffington Post, Trump got his information from none other than political pundit Bill O’Reilly, who skewed actual national figures (you can see the actual figures here) to make it seem as though all violent crime in the United States is committed by blacks and Latinos.
Trump wrote:
According to Bill O’Reilly, 80% of all the shootings in New York City are blacks-if you add Hispanics, that figure goes to 98%. 1% white.

Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed.
