Former President Donald Trump delivered a speech in Howell, Michigan, as part of GOP counterprogramming during the Democratic National Convention, focusing on crime and safety while attacking Vice President Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor. He claimed that Harris represents a 'Kamala crime wave' and described her as the most radical left candidate for high office, asserting that she would lead to increased crime rates if elected. Although Trump was expected to propose specific crime-fighting policies, such as the death penalty for child traffickers and expanded police funding, he largely resorted to broad criticisms without detailing concrete plans. He insisted that his presidency would deliver law and order, contrasting it with what he called Harris's pro-crime policies. Trump's comments were met with skepticism, as recent FBI data indicated a decrease in violent crime, contradicting his claims. Representative Byron Donalds echoed Trump's sentiments, deriding Democratic proposals to 'reimagine' policing as ineffective and dangerous, emphasizing a lack of viable safety policies from the party.
