It's amazing what people will believe if it's put on paper.
There has been a rise in hate crimes since Trump became president, but I do question some of the statistics because, I know statistics have their flaws. Also it would be more useful to see something like what the rate of hate crimes occured in these areas was previously and how many more there are now....saying its increased by 226% without any kind of base stat doesn't really say anything useful. Also the article says this was reported hate-crimes, but not that they were all confirmed as such.
I don't think the article is wrong about Trumps rhetoric playing into the issue however.
