No. False.

Trump wasn't choosing between the robustly confirmed hard data of the worst public health crisis in a century and... "crime." He was choosing between trying to save a nation at grave risk and "stoking fear of black people" and chose the latter. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
PS/ Crime generally isn't up—it's down. And Trump's largely white voter base doesn't live in places gang violence is rising—or urban centers protests are happening. Yet Trump says gang violence threatens his voters and posts video of Black people protesting. It's hardcore racism.
PS2/ Every time media pretends "crime" is a legitimate campaign issue right now rather than a made-up dog-whistle for racists, it equates the deaths of almost 150,000 Americans from COVID-19 to a *hardcore racist fantasy* being pushed by a *hardcore racist president*. Disgusting.
