During a rally in Uniondale, New York, on Wednesday, Donald Trump made an alarming and false claim, stating that there’s a 75% chance a child riding the New York City subway alone would go missing permanently. Recalling his own childhood experiences, Trump said that in the past, his parents would drop him off at the subway without fear. He contrasted that time with today, claiming children face much greater danger, though no data supports such an exaggerated figure. told by Yahoo.
Critics were quick to point out the inaccuracy of Trump’s statement, dismissing it as an attempt to dramatize the situation for political effect. Trump then promised that, if elected, he would renovate the subway system and crack down on crime. However, many questioned his portrayal of the subway as a crime-ridden environment, seeing it as part of a broader pattern of fear-based rhetoric.
The comments have sparked widespread skepticism, with many taking to social media to criticize Trump’s wild claims and his depiction of the New York City transit system. report from Mediaite.
