I guess these "Alternative facts" have proliferated so much that it's hard to take anything seriously anymore. But this was yet another "Trump fun fact" which came out recently:
"President Donald Trump promulgated the falsehood that the murder rate in the United States is at the highest it has been in 47 years during a meeting with the National Sheriff’s Association on Tuesday morning at the White House.
“Didn’t you know that?” Trump asked the group of sheriffs in front of reporters. “I’d say that in a speech and everybody was surprised because the press doesn’t like to tell it like it is. It wasn’t to their advantage to say that but the murder rate is the highest it’s been I guess from forty-five to forty-seven years.”"

I mean, seriously? "Oh NOOOO! We are all gonna die! Everything is falling apart! And only I know how to fix it!"
Meanwhile, back here in the real world, here is what is happening:
