In President Donald Trump's latest public appearance, he appeared to minimize domestic violence while speaking at the Museum of the Bible, where he was said to be defending his administration's "defense of religious liberty."
Speaking about crime in Washington D.C., which he claimed is "virtually nothing" after flooding the city with National Guard who are largely planting mulch and blowing leaves, Trump weighed in on domestic violence, saying: "Things that take place in the home they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this is a crime." He then pivoted to saying he wanted to "bring back religion in America."
Trump was immediately schooled on social media over the seriousness of domestic violence. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) chimed in, saying on X, "Yes, Mr. President, domestic violence is a crime."
Politico senior columnist Jonathan Martin offered his own Biblical take on Trump's address, writing on X, "Coming spin: Look he was on the Old Testament section of the speech."
"Flashing a green light to all those MAGA guys filled with anger who take it out on their wives," wrote journalist John Harwood on X.
Progressive influencer JoJoFromJerz added, "The dude who bragged about sexual assault and was found liable of sexual abuse says domestic violence isn’t really a crime, does he?"
Attorney John Oleske weighed in on the shocking statement, saying, "The way he talks about DV victims wrecking his stats makes it sound like he thinks they deserve another round when he gets home. The President of the United States is a deranged psychopath."
Author Shannon Watts pointed out Trump's past alleged issues with first wife Ivana, saying, "Man accused of raping his first wife says domestic violence shouldn’t be considered a crime."

WAIT, WHAT?!
White House: Domestic Violence Crimes Are ‘Made Up’ to Undermine Trump September 9, 2025
By David Badash
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks about domestic violence, saying that domestic violence crimes are not crimes but “made-up” statistics to undermine his work.
Leavitt was asked, “what crimes was the president referring to?” when Trump said: “If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime,’ see?”
She responded that the President “wasn’t referring to crimes.”
“That’s exactly the point he was making,” she continued, “but the president is saying, and that is that these crimes will be made up and reported as a crime to undermine the great work that the federal task force is doing to reduce crime in Washington, D.C.”
“I think the president has every reason to believe that, given the efforts of many reporters in this room, who actively seek to undermine the president and what he’s doing in our nation’s capital,” Leavitt claimed.
“We all know that deep inside, you all agree with this,” she added, apparently referring to federal troops occupying Washington, D.C. “because you all live here, and I’m sure you are very grateful for the administration’s efforts to make the city, which we all reside in, much safer for ourselves and our families.”
Trump’s full remarks included this statement:
“Things that take place in the home, they call crime, you know, they’ll do anything they can to find something,” he said on Monday at a meeting of his Religious Liberty Commission. “If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime,’ see?”
Calling Trump’s comment “alarming,” HuffPost on Tuesday reported that Trump was “suggesting that officials in the city were unfairly manipulating crime statistics to make him look bad.”
On Monday, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, now a professor of law and MSNBC/NBC News legal analyst, responded to the President’s comment:
“Domestic abuse is a crime. Marital assault and marital rape are both criminal conduct and anyone who commits them should be prosecuted. Full stop.”
