Trumpâs Crime Tour: Ignoring Murderous Red States Again
In 2024's bizarre crime reality show, rural Death Cab for Cutie tours Louisiana to Alaska â yes, Alaska leads the nation with 1,194 violent crimes per 100k residents, a rate so high it makes Gotham look like a retirement home. Meanwhile, Trumpâs National Guard cab booked stops in D.C., Chicago, Oakland, and Baltimore, skipping rural murder hotspots like Arkansas or New Mexico, where homicide runs at 11.3 per 100kâtwice the national rate. McKeesport, PA, 18,000 souls strong, dances with a 32.5 homicide rate and a violent crime tally higher than a Starbucks queue at 8 a.m., all fixed on TikTok reflecting on industrial decline. Trumpâs excuse? 'There aren't that many of them,' which is code for, 'Rural violence doesnât fit my TV show.'
