Trump described Chicago as a “killing field,” escalating tensions amid concerns over crime in the nation’s third largest city.
I’ve been living here for uh 57 years and I feel very safe in Chicago. I think it’s a very safe community. You know, I travel a lot and I go to a lot of other places that are much more drug infested and than Chicago.

Chicago is doing better than the rest of the country on a lot of really important measures.

Um, I think that if that was necessary, things would be a lot different here…
