As for blaming Bush 'for everything'? Presuming that there are NO causative antecedents to any of our problems, ISIS, the economy for just two instances, is a symptom of Obama Derangement Syndrome, rapidly declining memory and critical thinking skills that never advanced beyond the 8th grade, IF!
LOL!

Trump Fact Check: No, Crime Is Not Getting Worse In The United States
By Caitlin MacNealPublishedJuly 21, 2016, 10:27 PM EDT
During his speech on the final night of the Republican convention, Trump offered a dark description of violence and crime in the United States, arguing that crime rates have increased under President Obama.
"Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement," Trump said.
However, violent crime rates in the United States have been on the decline since the 1990s, according to FBI statistics.

Since recent mass shootings have dominated the headlines and the national political debate, we start with subjects we haven’t often explored in past updates: homicides and guns.
Violent Crime — Homicides and other violent crime have decreased markedly since Obama took office.
According to the FBI’s most recent annual compilation of crime reports published Dec. 14, there were 2,216 fewer murders and deaths from nonnegligent manslaughter in the U.S. during 2014 than in 2008, the year before Obama first took office. That’s a 13 percent reduction in the number of homicides.
The drop in all violent crime — including homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault — is even greater. There were 229,078 fewer violent crimes in the U.S. in 2014 than in 2008, a drop of 16 percent, according to the FBI.
And because the U.S. population was growing, the violent crime rate dropped even faster than the absolute numbers. In 2014, the homicide rate was 4.5 per 100,000 inhabitants, down from 5.4 in 2008.
News reports suggest that the homicide trend may have reversed last year, at least in several large cities where spikes in murder rates had been reported as of mid-2015. The national picture for the full year will have to wait until the FBI’s next annual release of comprehensive statistics, however
