Trump, like many other populists, are not speaking to urban city dwellers when it comes to these topics. He's aiming his speech at the rural population. The idea is of course to keep them scared, and keep them away from the cities. This is not only a US thing. I grew up in rural nowhere, and frequently see (unfortunately older) people from back home write the craziest posts about the things that are "happening" in big cities. Some of them are so afraid that they simply won't visit those places - in fear that they'll get mugged, stabbed, or raped by some psychotic foreigner or gang member. They get all their news from the same far-right FB pages and "news" websites that only write about crime.
