In a move that is likely to be seen as a bid to boost his law and order credentials, former President Donald Trump is set to visit the New York Police Academy, where he will highlight the city's recent reduction in violent crime. Trump's visit comes as New York City is experiencing a significant decrease in homicides and shootings, with some areas seeing a drop of over 20% in violent crime compared to last year. The former President is expected to use the visit as an opportunity to tout his own policies and proposals for reducing crime, which he believes are responsible for the decline. The visit is also likely to be seen as a way for Trump to take a victory lap and shift attention away from his own controversies, just a week before the midterm elections.
