President Trump Delivers the Largest Drop in Violent Crime in American History
President Donald J. Trump and his Administration have delivered the most dramatic decline in violent crime in American history. According to the FBI’s newly released Uniform Crime Report for 2025, America is safer than it has been in generations.
These numbers — in line with the Council on Criminal Justice, Major Cities Chiefs Association, and many other sources — mark the decisive reversal of the crime crisis Democrats left behind.
Meanwhile, preliminary data for the first half of 2026 shows the decline continuing and deepening, with violent crime down an additional 10.6%, murder down another 23%, rape down 18.6%, and robberies down 19.6% compared to the same period last year.
President Trump backed law enforcement, empowered the FBI to hunt predators instead of political targets, and rejected the failed Democrat lunacy that left communities reeling. The results are clear: fewer murders, fewer victims, and safer streets.
