Trump reduced domestic violence cases to “little fights” that occur at home.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump seemingly made light of domestic violence as he defended his takeover of D.C. law enforcement.<\/p>\n
Trump downplayed acts of domestic violence<\/a> as \u201cmuch lesser\u201d crimes. He suggested that D.C. officials exaggerated crime rates by including these types of incidents. Trump made the unfounded claim as he emphasized the alleged \u201csuccess\u201d of reducing violence in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n While making a speech at the Museum of the Bible on Sept. 8, he referred to domestic violence as an innocuous \u201clittle fight.\u201d The Neighborhood Talk <\/em>shared footage of Trump\u2019s commentary.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026Virtually nothing and much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. They\u2019ll 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\u2019t claim 100 percent. But we are \u2026 a safe city,\u201d alleged Trump of D.C.\u2019s reported crimes.<\/p>\n As the offensive comment garnered immediate backlash, a spokeswoman attempted to mitigate his statements.<\/p>\n \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s Executive Order to address crime in DC even specifically\u00a0took action against\u00a0domestic violence,\u201d said spokeswoman Abigail Jackson. \u201cWhile President Trump is making America safer, the Fake News is whipping up their latest hoax in real time to distract from the Administration\u2019s tremendous results.\u201d<\/p>\n However, advocates and local organizations against domestic violence found the President\u2019s words to be worrisome, especially as they continue to spread awareness on the severity of many cases. Dawn Dalton, executive director of the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said the nonprofit receives around 12,000 calls a year from domestic violence victims. Dalton also noted an uptick in the intensity of violence against victims, including homicide.<\/p>\n \u201cThe frequency and harm of domestic violence is not paid enough attention to, and remarks such as the president\u2019s underscore that reality,\u201d explained Dalton to The<\/em> Washington Post.<\/em><\/p>\n Trump, however, has seemingly excused domestic violence before in his previous term. In 2018, he brushed off the accusations of his former staff secretary, Rob Porter, who resigned after two of his ex-wives alleged physical and emotional abuse. Trump also faced initial blowback as he entered the political arena with his infamous \u201cgrab her by the p\u2013y\u201d comment.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of being serious about reducing crime by addressing and reducing domestic and intimate partner violence, he is now suggesting we reclassify horrific forms of interpersonal violence as not criminal at all \u2014 just as a \u2018little fight,\u2019\u201d added Cynthia Miller-Idriss, an American University professor and author of \u201cMan Up: The New Misogyny and the Rise of Violent Extremism.\u201d \u201cThis takes us back to the Dark Ages.\u201d<\/p>\n As Trump\u2019s surge over D.C. has passed the one-month mark, it could potentially extend until the end of the year.<\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT: Fans Booed Donald Trump Real Bad When He Pulled Up To The US Open<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Nahlah Abdur-Rahman September 9, 2025 Trump reduced domestic violence cases to “little fights” that occur at home.
