In a rant Trump posted to social media, he took his latest swings at GovRonDeSantis, claiming DeSantis has done a poor job as Governor and that Florida has suffered because of it. But, most of Trump’s claims don’t reflect reality.
In a rant Trump posted to social media, the 2024 presidential contender claimed Florida gets low marks for its schools, public health record, and law enforcement efforts.But most of Trump’s claims don’t reflect reality. Here are the facts about what he said.
And if you look at the total number of deaths for all three years of the pandemic, Florida’s death rate is well below New York’s.Florida actually has one of the best education systems in the country. When looking at rapes per 100,000 residents, Florida is the 35th worst, making it safer from rape than most other states.A Statista data analysis shows Florida with the third-highest raw number of aggravated assaults, again trailing California and Texas due to the large population sizes of all three states.
Trump appeared to be referring to an analysis by AH Datalytics from the first six months of 2022, which ranked Jacksonville 23rd on a list of bigger cities’ murders per 100,000 residents.But according to the same firm’s analysis, by the end of last year, Jacksonville came in as the 27th worst city for murders per 100,000 residents, not in the top 25.
It is not entirely clear what Trump meant by the health and safety of education; most ranking systems don’t separate that as a metric when they analyze the quality of schools.
