Analysis: Murder and Violent Crime is at an all time high in NYC, and ...

3y ago Dec 6, 2022 at 1:22 PM

Murder and Violent Crime is at an all time high in NYC, and the D.A.’s office has spent almost all of its time & money fighting a political Witch Hunt for D.C. against “Trump” over Fringe Benefits, something that in the history of our Country, has never been so tried in Court before. Two weeks at trial, yet no MURDER CASE has gone to trial in 6 years, much to the consternation of victims mothers and families who are devastated that NOTHING is being done to bring JUSTICE. Too busy on “Donald.”

This post, published on the day the Trump Organization was convicted on all 17 counts of criminal tax fraud, exemplifies a narcissistic injury response through complete avoidance of the verdict. Trump employs displacement and whataboutism, redirecting attention to NYC violent crime while falsely claiming it is at "an all time high" (actual murders are ~80% below the 1990 peak). The prosecution is minimized as mere "Fringe Benefits" when the actual charges included conspiracy, grand larceny, and systematic tax fraud spanning 2005-2021. Notable is the instrumentalization of murder victims' families — their grief is deployed not from genuine empathy but as rhetorical ammunition against the DA. The scare quotes around "Trump" and "Donald" create psychological distancing, framing the prosecution as targeting an abstraction rather than a real person. The false dichotomy (prosecute Trump OR prosecute murderers) delegitimizes the legal process. This post sits within a same-day pattern of grievance across multiple posts involving the "Witch Hunt" narrative, the Mar-a-Lago documents case, and the Georgia runoff. The convergence of legal defeat (conviction), political defeat (Walker likely to lose that evening), and constitutional controversy (his "termination" statement days earlier) represents a multi-front threat environment producing intensified defensive output.

Gaslighting Detected:

Fabricated crime statistics ('all time high') to construct false narrative
Minimizing 17 felony convictions as trivial 'Fringe Benefits'
Attacking prosecutorial legitimacy to undermine legal system credibility

Reality Distortions:

NYC crime at 'all time high' — false by an enormous margin
Prosecution characterized as unprecedented when tax fraud cases are routine
Implied DA has done nothing about violent crime

Fact Checks (3)

"Murder and Violent Crime is at an all time high in NYC"

False

NYC murders peaked at 2,245 in 1990. In 2022, there were approximately 433 murders — an 80% reduction from the peak. While crime rose from 2020 lows, it was nowhere near 'all time high.'

"No MURDER CASE has gone to trial in 6 years"

Mostly False

While NYC had a significant backlog of cases exacerbated by COVID, murder cases did go to trial during this period. The claim appears to be a gross exaggeration of legitimate case backlog concerns.

"Fringe Benefits have never been so tried in Court before"

Mostly False

Tax fraud cases involving executive compensation schemes have been prosecuted before, though this particular configuration was unusual. The charges were broader than mere 'fringe benefits' — they included conspiracy, grand larceny, and tax fraud.

Context

This post was made on the day the Trump Organization was convicted on all 17 counts of tax fraud in Manhattan. Trump is deflecting from this legal defeat by attacking the Manhattan DA's office, framing the prosecution as a misallocation of resources away from violent crime.

Authorship

Posted at 13:22 UTC = 8:22 AM ET. Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago (same timezone). The post shows authentic Trump markers: emotional intensity, ALL CAPS emphasis on "MURDER CASE" and "JUSTICE," stream-of-consciousness structure, and the self-referential shift between third-person "Trump" and first-person perspective. The scare quotes around his own name are a characteristic distancing device.

Psychological Dynamics

The post is a textbook response to narcissistic injury — the Trump Organization conviction. Rather than address the verdict, Trump employs displacement (redirecting to violent crime) and rationalization (the case is trivial "fringe benefits"). The framing of the prosecution as unprecedented ("never been so tried in Court before") serves distortion — minimizing the severity of 17 felony convictions.

The invocation of murder victims' families is instrumentalizing others' suffering for self-defense — a notable empathy deficit marker. These families become props in his grievance narrative rather than objects of genuine concern.

Rhetorical Techniques

"Witch Hunt" (repeated across posts), false dichotomy (prosecuting Trump OR prosecuting murderers), appeal to victimhood (both his own and murder victims'), whataboutism.
