You will recall that Trump campaigned as a real life Batman, claiming that “he alone” could solve the problem of rampant crime in the streets even though: (a) crime has fallen dramatically from the levels of 20 years ago; (b) the federal government has very limited authority over issues of criminal justice; (c) he has no experience dealing with criminal justice matters; and (d) he has no ideas on the subject, or he would have shared them with us during the campaign.
What can you expect on this subject? Lots of hot air. He will repeatedly talk tough about criminals, throw gas on the fire whenever there is an unjustified police shooting, and give lots of publicity to the deportation of a few violent criminals who are also illegal immigrants. That’s it. The nonexistent problem will remain unsolved.
