Trump claims mobs of 500 people are raiding stores to steal air conditioners

Former President Trump escalated his claims about rampant crime during a campaign stop Friday, alleging without proof that mobs of crowds are stealing large appliances from department stores en masse without action from law enforcement.

“You go to some of these department stores, 500 people walk into the stores, they walk out with air conditioners — they strip the whole store,” Trump said in a nearly hourlong, off-the-cuff address to Turning Point Action in Arizona while railing against the Biden administration’s policies. “The company goes out of business, the store is vacant for 25 years. The whole city becomes a slum.”

Trump and President Biden will likely meet each other in what’s become a neck and neck rematch of their 2020 election battle when voters head to the polls on Nov. 5. Both have been criss-crossing the country to make the case for why each would be better for the country going forward.

When The Hill asked the Trump campaign for further information on his remarks in Arizona, a spokesperson directed the outlet to news reports of residential HVAC thefts and reports of “pack theft” sprees that have hit cities.

“Thieves keep stealing HVAC units. He might offer them $100 to just ‘go away,'” one news outlet reported on contractors who’ve had multiple components of HVAC units stolen from job sites in Virginia.

“Why stealing an air conditioner is more serious than you’d think,” the campaign sent in a link to another report on residential HVAC unit thefts, this time in Texas.

Trump has heavily leaned into inflation, immigration and crime. He has blamed his successor, Biden, for each of those issues, despite statistics showing a strong economy.
