Beverly Hills joins Trump’s list of crime-ridden cities. Really? ​

As the president this week threatened to send National Guard and other troops to more American cities, he has some choice words about the wealthy enclave where he once owned a home. During an Oval Office talk in which he defended troop deployments in Los Angeles and Washington, the conversation suddenly turned to Beverly Hills.

Trump called the city “a great place” but noted he has friends who leave the trunk and doors of their cars open because they know they’re going to be vandalized and don’t want to risk getting the windows or other parts of their vehicles damaged.

“They don’t want the trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what’s in there, in the back,” he said.

The president also said another friend of his leaves his garage door open, “so that people can just walk into his garage and take whatever they want and leave.”

Responding to a question about Trump’s comments, a city spokesperson told The Times in a statement that Beverly Hills is not aware of residents intentionally leaving their vehicles unlocked to prevent vandalism.

It's not clear to me that Trump is in cognitive decline.

He's always had his own bizarre interpretations of reality. If he starts forgetting he's the president, then I'll know that there's some cognitive decline going on.

I'll note that "as capable as ever" doesn't necessarily mean "capable".
