President Trump on Monday visited Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee.
Earlier Monday, President Trump traveled to Memphis to “highlight the remarkable progress in restoring safety to a city long ranked among the nation’s most dangerous.”
“President Trump’s leadership, the Memphis Safe Task Force — a decisive, aggressive federal intervention involving the National Guard and a host of federal agencies — has crushed violent crime where the policies of Democrats had failed,” the White House said.
“The results are undeniable — proof that strong leadership, tough enforcement, and zero tolerance for criminals deliver real public safety and transform communities,” the White House said.
Overall crime in Memphis is down more than 43% compared to the same period last year — a dramatic drop from the bloodshed ushered in by the failed policies of the past.
Motor vehicle thefts are down 67%.
Robberies are down 51%.
Sexual assaults are down 38%.
Homicides are down 35%.
Burglaries are down 32%.
Aggravated assaults are down 31%.
Later Monday, President Trump traveled to Elvis Presley’s mansion and was given a tour of Graceland.
“Who doesn’t love Elvis?” President Trump said as he entered through the front door.
“Everybody loves Elvis, right” Trump said.
“I’m a big fan of Elvis,” the president said.
“I understood his life. His life was complicated,” Trump said.
