He'll do this everywhere. We need to just admit that crime IS an issue in some major cities & DO something about it to take away this issue from HIM. Yes, crime is even higher in some red state cities, fine point that out. But it doesnt take away from the problems in OUR cities
I wasnt a big fan of the Chicago mayor's speech saying "we dont need you here" well you dame sure need SOMETHING when you have nearly 60 shootings over just the weekend. So get with the damn program, get with the Gov & DO SOMETHING & dont let trump get the credit. Because if he DOES send in the Guard, those shootings will almost certainly drop; and he'll crow about it for a month.
