President Trump says rising crime rates that currently plague cities with Democrats could spread to the suburbs if Joe Biden is elected in November.
In a tweet posted early Saturday morning, the Commander-in-Chief slammed his presidential rival after another riot in Portland and more shootings during the night in New York City.
‘Why would Suburban Women vote for Biden and the Democrats if Democrats run cities are now rife with crime (and they do not ask the federal government for help), which can easily spread to the suburbs, and they will be on steroids, plan for low income! ‘Trump asked his 85.4 million followers just before 8 p.m.
The ‘low-income suburbs’ plan, to which the president referred, is the AFFH Affirmatively Continuing Fair Housing, which is part of the 1968 Federal Law on Entertainment Act.
The rule was updated under Obama in 2015 to pressure cities and towns to identify patterns of discrimination in housing and issue plans to correct those problems.
As part of their 2020 election campaign, Democrats have released a housing policy agenda, which, in part, states: ‘We will compare access to affordable credit and improve access to assistance to families of color, low-income households helping rural buyers buy homes. ‘
In recent weeks, Trump has revised that policy several times, trying to portray himself as a defender of the suburbs and the savior of the suburbs.
In a tweet on Saturday, President Trump claimed that the growing crime rates currently plaguing cities with Democrats could spread to the suburbs if Joe Biden is elected in November.
Trumps tweet came after another night of unrest in the Democratic-run city of Portland, Oregon (pictured). Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck.
Last Wednesday, he shared a tweet that read: ‘The’ suburban housewife ‘will be voting for me.
‘They want security and are happy that I ended the long-running program in which low-income housing would invade their neighborhood. Biden would reinstall it, in a larger form, with Corey Booker in the lead! ‘
The dismantling of Trump by the AFFH has been seen by many as ‘racist’.
After his tweet last Wednesday, sen responded. Corey Booker: ‘Donald, you show racism’.
But in response to claims that his tweet had racist undertones, Trump claimed that 30 percent of the people in suburban minorities are, and that he wants to protect them as well.
‘Just so you understand, 30 per cent plus of the people living in suburbs are minorities. African-American, Asian-American, Hispanic-American, ‘he explained.

Last month, in a separate tweet, Trump pointed out how he had overturned the housing rule in the Obama era, which for the most part has seen minorities gain access to suburban suburbs.
Last month, Trump overtook his suburban courting and tied life there to the housing issue.
“I am pleased to inform all people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be infected or financially damaged by building low-income housing in your neighborhood,” Trump tweeted on July 29, adding that “crime will come down. ‘
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a former Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, called it the “blatant racism of the President of the United States.”
“And it’s disgusting,” the Massachusetts Democrat added.
Republicans have focused their efforts on reclaiming suburbs after women in recent elections, doubling everything from ‘football moms’ to ‘security moms’ to ‘Walmart moms’ – though the party saw in 2018 such voters shift to Democrats.
Trump’s latest tweet comes after he offered to send the National Guard to Portland after an 86th consecutive night of protests.
Police said early Saturday outside the area in the north. Smoke was deployed and officers forced Protestants physically away from the area, reports said.
Windows were broken on patrol cars, police said, and items such as glass bottles were smashed and lasers were aimed at officers. Videos posted online showed several people being arrested after the rape statement, but it was not immediately clear how many arrests may have been made.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren jumped in and pointed out that the rule that Trump overturned was to help cities’ address the ugly legacy of our country’s discrimination and segregation through housing by government. She said his tweets were ‘blatant racism’
