N.Y.: Trump touts crime drop during Long Island speech, endorses Blakeman ahead of midterms
U.S. President Donald Trump arrives to deliver remarks at the David S.
Mack Center for Training and Intelligence on August 14, 2026 in Garden
City, New York. President Trump visited the police academy to highlight
the FBI’s 2025 Crime Statistics Report and rally support for local
Republican candidates ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
President Donald Trump visited New York on Friday, where he declared
that “every category of violent crime has dropped massively” since he
returned to office — while also praising the “men and women who put
their lives on the line” to protect American citizens.
During his speech in Long Island, the president further emphasized that the “the numbers keep getting better.”
.@POTUS:
Last year, there were over 3,100 fewer murders than the year before I
took office, 10,000 fewer rapes, and 1.1 million fewer violent crimes.

Trump asserted that his administration’s “efforts to protect law
enforcement” had led directly to “a drop in attacks on officers.”
“Shortly after taking office, I signed a historic Executive Order
directing that anyone convicted of killing a police officer should face
the death penalty — and last year, deaths of law enforcement officers in
the line of duty fell to an 80-year low,” the president explained.

However, Trump also warned that this progress “can be reversed” if
Democrats retain power in the near future, sharply criticizing incumbent
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.)

Offering what he described as the solution to the problem — to “vote
for Republicans” — he brought conservative Nassau County Executive Bruce
Blakeman onto the stage, who is challenging Hochul in the November
election.
