As our own Grateful Calvin reported earlier Wednesday, CNN panelist and Salem radio host Scott Jennings had a good time mocking Axios for a post that read, "Crime plunges in major cities despite Trump's crackdown rhetoric." As Jennings said, that was a funny way of saying crime went down under President Trump.
Someone at Axios noticed the ratio and decided to delete that post and replace it with this:
Violent crime dropped sharply across America's biggest cities in 2025, according to new data reviewed by Axios. https://t.co/GfM3oAwkYK
— Axios (@axios) February 11, 2026
We’ve deleted a previous post of this story which compared the drop in violent crime to Trump’s arguments for deploying federal troops to U.S. cities.

No, you deleted it because it said "Crime plunges in major cities despite Trump's crackdown rhetoric" https://t.co/weO5h0IHXV

You said "Violent crime dropped despite Trump's crime crackdown" because you're pathetic hacks.

Maybe dont put your social justice reporter in charge of writing articles about crime data?

Their new headline is ACTUALLY factual and objective! It's EASIER to be objective, actually! These ghouls never learn.

Yeah, the obvious bias and blowback from it forced you to do what a good editor should have done.

Even the White House got in on the action:
Shocker: The media forgot a key detail — so we fixed it for you. 😌 pic.twitter.com/IhDSiGVhpG

This ridiculous framing is why Americans don’t trust the media.

President Trump securing the border, mobilizing federal law enforcement to arrest violent criminals, and deporting the worst of the worst illegal aliens is EXACTLY what’s driving the massive drop in crime. pic.twitter.com/yfiC4BUHbt
You deleted it because you were getting roasted in the comments... 😂😅🤣 There is a direct correlation with a drop in violent crime and Trump deporting thousands of violent criminals... someday the lightbulb will go on in your TDS infected head...

You should probably just try to report the news instead of trying to be a DNC propaganda tool

We're still not sure why Axios deleted the original post … could they explain in detail what was wrong with it?
