The President’s False Claims About Germany and Immigration

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has once again been caught spreading false information, this time about Germany’s crime rate. Despite data showing a decrease in crime, Trump falsely claimed that crime in Germany has gone “way up” since the country granted asylum to refugees.

This pattern of lying and spreading misinformation is not only damaging to the reputation of the United States but also poses a threat to democracy. By consistently disregarding facts and promoting falsehoods, Trump undermines the trust in institutions and the media, essential components of a functioning democracy. Source: Politico.
