President Donald Trump just picked the wrong city to mess with, and Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee is here to serve up some cold, hard truth.

In a recent rant about urban crime, Trump singled out Oakland as one of the “bad” cities, apparently forgetting that facts exist. But Lee wasn’t about to let that slide without throwing some serious shade.

Reality Check: Crime is Actually Down

Contrary to Trump’s dramatic claims, Oakland’s crime stats are telling a completely different story. According to recent data, violent crime has dropped a whopping 29% from January to June. We’re talking significant decreases across the board: homicides down 21%, rapes down 24%, and robberies plummeting by 41%.

Political Playbook: Fear vs. Facts

Lee didn’t mince words, calling out Trump’s statement as pure “fear-mongering” - a classic political move designed to score cheap political points by attacking communities he clearly doesn’t understand. Her response was basically a mic drop, emphasizing that Oakland’s comprehensive public safety strategy is actually working.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about Oakland. Crime is trending down in most major cities Trump mentioned, proving that his narrative is more fiction than fact. Lee’s approach? Keep focusing on real solutions, not political theatrics.

So, to all the Trump supporters out there: Oakland isn’t “far gone” - it’s fighting back, getting safer, and definitely not here for baseless accusations.
