7/10 of the most violent cities (>100k population) in the country are in red states. Chicago and Boston, Trump's next stated targets, are 92/200 and 71/200, respectively. Houston, The US's fourth largest city behind Chicago, has a violent crime rate more than double Chicago's, placing it at #16 most dangerous. Nashville, comparable in population to Boston, has a violent crime rate almost double Boston's, placing it at #18.
