Trump blasts Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel for record-setting 762 homicides and 4,331 shooting victims in 2016 and says he ‘must ask for Federal help’ if he can’t fix Windy City
One of the most violent years in Chicago history ended with a sobering tally: 762 homicides, the most in two decades in the city
‘Chicago murder rate is record setting – 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016,’ Donald Trump tweeted on Monday
‘If Mayor [Rahm Emanuel] can’t do it he must ask for Federal help!’
Emanuel and Trump met December 7 in New York City but reportedly talked about illegal-immigrant ‘dreamers,’ not gun violence
The nation’s third largest city also saw 1,100 more shooting incidents last year than it did in 2015
The increase in homicides compared to 2015, when 485 were reported, is the largest spike in 60 years

Bill Bratton has retired….maybe Rahm should hire Bratton to clean up the mess.
It would mean the implementation of ‘stop and frisk’ however….how badly does Rahm want to stop the carnage…?
Sort of like the murder rate in Newark during Senator Booker’s reign as mayor.
All the result of liberal, progressive, democratic policies.
Trump will do much better instilling law and order and providing better economic opportunity to inner city residents.
Mark my words
