In stark contrast, Trump vowed, “We will never even think about defunding the police… We’ll re-fund the police.”
Trump’s rhetoric wasn’t just focused on Harris’s past statements; he also tied the crime wave that has plagued major cities to the broader policies of the Biden-Harris administration. Since the summer of 2020, many cities saw their police department budgets slashed, Democrat prosecutors began refusing to prosecute certain crimes, and pro-crime policies like no cash bail were introduced. The result, according to Trump, has been a surge in violent crime.
“Since comrade Kamala took office, her own administration’s crime statistics show she has presided over a 43% increase in violent crime, including a 58% increase in rape, 89% increase in aggravated assault, and a 56% increase in robbery,” Trump claimed. He further noted that the nation’s largest cities, predominantly run by Democrats, have become dangerous for ordinary Americans.
“You can’t walk across the street to get a loaf of bread,” Trump said. “You get shot. You get mugged. You get raped. You get whatever it may be.”
Trump made it clear that the choice facing Americans in the next election is between two very different visions for the country. “Kamala Harris will deliver crime, chaos, destruction, and death,” Trump stated unequivocally. “I will deliver law, order, safety, and peace. And I will protect those who protect us.”
The former President went on to detail his plans to restore order. Among his proposals were hiring more police officers, calling for the death penalty for child rapists, bringing felony charges against doctors who perform transgender surgeries on minors without parental consent, and reinstating stop-and-frisk policies in policing.
Additionally, Trump promised to seal the southern border, arguing that crime has become a significant issue in many parts of the country due to the open border and what he describes as reckless Democrat policies.

As Trump prepares for a possible second term, his message is one of stark contrast with the current administration. While Harris and other Democrats have been accused of being lenient on crime, Trump is positioning himself as the candidate of law and order. His promises to crack down on crime, reinforce police departments, and secure the border are aimed at appealing to voters who are concerned about the safety of their communities.
For Trump, the path forward is clear: a return to policies that prioritize safety and security over what he views as the dangerous and misguided approaches of the current administration. As the election approaches, this message will likely resonate with voters who feel that their concerns about crime have been ignored for too long.
