    This discussion should start with the racial demographics of the 4,115 people shot ... doesn't matter who's running the city ...

    Trump did not create the fake news. The media did. Who control is the media? The same people controlling these cities.

    Illinois would be a Republican state if it was not for Chicago. The city is falling apart like California is. Maybe one day they will get smart and stop supporting the Democrats.

    For starters: By explaining to people that putting a zip code requirement on pension payouts is ****ing absurd. Absolutely ****ing absurd.

    The pension issue is about how it crushes the budget and how badly they are underfunded by the cities.

    people leave the cities because they are no longer desirable after employment no longer forces them to live in a shitty city.

    Nothing to do with Trump. Trump does not run Chicago as you are aware.

    You can thank your people for Trump not getting very far on his to do list. He was obstructed from day one. The fake collusion, the BS impeachment, etc.

    You people set the tone for all future politics in America.

    Well said. All of that stuff they did only hurt themselves. The media and NFL also hurt themselves.

    You are right, Trump was a really weak President who promised to do things that he was not capable of doing. Did he deliberately lie or was he just so misinformed on what a President could actually do? And i use the word "was" because Trump has seemed to have abandoned carrying out any Presidential duties since he lost and did nothing other than campaign in the many months before the election, Though, he did play golf a lot but I'm not sure if that is part of his job

    Oh, and what amount of his time did he actually spend on "The fake collusion, the BS impeachment, etc. " which meant that he did not have time to actually carry out his duties?

    2 yrs of R congress.
    Failed leader.

    Very few independents in congress or politics. We just make up the same amount of voters as each party with no representation.

    Divisive leader, divisive people.

    Kinda odd that the people who seem to want to follow the leader are the fine folks in Chicago, Detroit, St Louis, Baltimore, New York City and New Orleans.

    Chicago has been a shithole in a constant state of decline since my grandparent's time. My grandfather was held at gunpoint in Chicago, three times as an adult. He died in the 80s.

    Please explain how that is Trump's faut?

    You seem to know about as much as Bowbird, as to how cities are run. Wow. Just Wow. Trump has as much control over Chicago as Germany has over Greece.

    But trump promised in 2016 in his campaign to clean up Chicago.
    Is trump to ignorant to know he can't fix cities? If so, I agree.

    He was going to fix Chicago after he had Mexico paying for a wall and repeal and replace ACA.

    I know what he promised and how he failed. It's why he can no longer be president in 17 days.

    I did. Of course, in PF fashion on trump good v trump bad. Divisive leader vs divisive followers. Is it true, I won't be able to prove it. It's just known that followers take on traits of leaders. Be it a sports team, a corporation, a business, etc. Leaders set the example, followers follow.
    trump said he was going to clean up Chicago.

    Did you want Trump to take over or not? The left fought him and sued him to stay out of it.

    So you’re happy Trump tried to clean up a Leftist cesspool that Leftists made even worse? Your TDS is so ingrained you’re happy Democrat cities across the country are literally falling apart in front of our eyes.

    And Trump could have done something if he was allowed. But Democrats were more interested in the country imploding and blaming it on him. They’re that sick, as you have demonstrated.

    trump said he was going to take over and clean up Chicago.
    Do you want him to do what he says he was going to do or not?

    Likely not, since he didn't do much of anything he said he was going to do.
    That's why he won't be president in 17 days.

    I am neither happy or unhappy. I am no where near Chicago.

    Why aren't you working to clean up Chicago since you're so concerned about it?

    trump could not do a single thing about Chicago. All but his voters knew this.
