Trump Claims There’s a ‘75% Chance’ a Kid Riding the New York Subway Will Go Missing
Former President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that there is a “75% chance” a child riding the New York City subway would go missing if left by their parents to travel alone.
During a campaign rally in Uniondale, New York, Trump said:
Despite all the persecution I have endured from the corrupt judicial system in New York – it’s a corrupt system – I love the people of this state, and I want to give back. I want to give back to you. I’ve had a great life, I want to give back to you. We’re gonna give it back to you. We’re gonna make this city and we’re going to make this state incredible again. Together, we will rebuild our roads, bridges, highways, and airports. They’re falling apart, they’re falling down. We will renovate New York subway. Oh, it was beautiful, I used to go to school on the subway. Can you believe it? I mean, I like to say it’s not so long ago, but it probably is.
The former president recalled, “But my parents would drop me off at a subway and I’d go to Union Turnpike, or I’d go to wherever I– They had no fear that I was going to be disappearing! They would take me to a subway, put me on, and say, ‘Bye darling, bye.’ If you do that today, you have about a 75% chance that you’ll never see your child again. What the hell has happened here? What has happened?”
Trump then vowed that if reelected for a second term in the White House, “We will renovate the New York subway so that the greatest city in the world finally has again the greatest transit system anywhere in the world.”
He concluded, “You have the basics. We have to clean it, we have to take care of it, we have to give it a little love, and we have to get the criminals the hell out of there.”
