Speaking at a GOP retreat in Philadelphia on Thursday, President Donald Trump told a group of Republican lawmakers that the murder rate in Philly is “steady, I mean just terribly increasing.” That is not true. According to statistics from the Philadelphia Police Department, there were 277 murders in 2016 compared with 280 murders in 2015. Over a five year period, murders were down 19%. And over a ten year period, murders were down 41%.
