Listen, man.
Donald J. Trump, you are the motherfucking President of the United States. You said that you will defend "our people" and uphold the Constitution.
You have failed miserably. You are not an example of First Lady Melania Trump's campaign to end cyberbullying and becoming a role model in the community.
The city of Chicago, Illinois is a part of the United States. Last time I've check, you seemed to leave Chicago the way you've left Puerto Rico. I mean over 5,000 lives were lost since Hurricane Maria and you've done absolutely nothing (other than toss paper towels).
You are the foreseer of all things in the country. Since you're so fixated on blaming Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel for the latest weekend of bloodshed, here's what we should do.
Blame all forms of gun violence in the United States on you!
Nah, I'm not going to do it. But for the good readers of World News Today, here's a poll.
Mass shootings continue to plague Chicago. Many innocent lives are lost. Who deserves the blame for this?

You are the 45th President of the United States. You're the "most powerful" world leader. Yet, you're an embarrassment on the world stage.
First Lady Melania Trump is worthless as well. The #BeBest Campaign is a disgraceful waste of time. If she wants to do something for youth across America, how about she get out of those designer clothes and put on an apron and serve at a soup kitchen.
You ignorant conservatives were complaining about Barack and Michelle Obama when they devoted time to community service when they were in the White House. The Obamas launched My Brother's Keeper and tried hard to get Congress to work on comprehensive gun reform.
When these conservatives mention Chicago, you automatically hear "NIGGER" when they speak about it. When I hear a Black conservative complain about how hip-hop music, Black athletes, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, I hear Coonservative.
Conservatives have never (I mean never) done anything for Chicago or any place in America.
They are embolden to the National Rifle Association. An organization that advocates lackluster gun laws. Don't give me that bullshit about how Chicago is a "gun-free zone."
Since DC v. Heller, we have rollback city ordinances and regulations. We allowed individuals to travel to Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky to purchase firearms without background checks.
Most of the people committing the acts of violence are legally able to carry firearms. So don't pull that bullshit about how illegal guns are on the street. Most owners of firearms are able to have them.
From the day you've cocked that burner, you're a legal gun owner.
To those who troll, don't worry, I've got my response to you as well.
I can't estimate how many lives were lost in the latest weekend but I can tell you that the names are never going to be mentioned. These names will remain local news stories.
Conservatives will forever troll and bullshit.
Bet you money, you'll never see Trump, Mike Pence, Laura Ingraham, Bill Cunningham, Matt Drudge, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Levin, Jim Hoft, Michelle Malkin, Alex Jones and Sean "Softball" Hannity ever set foot in the Southside of Chicago.
Chris Hayes of MSNBC actually went Chicago.
Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton had went to the funerals of people of color killed by the police and individuals tied to gangs.
Barack Obama has talked countless times about it.
But for the conservatives, they ignore it. They claim that the "left" is basically allowing gun violence and crime to co-exist with Americans.
Yeah, the same ol' song.
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said that he will add more cops to the streets.
The lawman said that he wants to ensure the public that they're there to keep the city safe.
But like most decisions, they've always backfired.
Last week, the Chicago Police had placed a bait vehicle in the Southside. There was a semi-truck with an unlocked door containing shoes. The folks at Norfolk Southern partnered with the police to place the vehicles in the area. They were hoping a curious bystander would open the truck and find a motherload of Nike shoes.
And the Laquan McDonald controversy. Many residents fear the police. Given that the police have randomly stopped law-abetting motorists (mostly of color), the residents rather stay out of it.
Hence, the NO SNITCHIN' or BLUE WALL OF SILENCE.
Chicago got to get its act together. Not all of the city is crime-infested. But given that the junk food media picks and chooses which stories are noteworthy, they often seek mass shootings as the heart strings and activism.
Let's be clear, Chicago will exist. It will take a Congress and a leader who is willing to take on the gun lobby. A leader who could build bridges. Not a divisive figure who divides our country with platitudes and promises never kept.
I'm about working with people. I fear that if I was to travel from Ohio to Chicago, I would be a victim also. But I am trying to put aside the fear. I don't fear man. I fear failure.
Over 60 people were shot in the Chicago area.
"It's no secret that we had another unacceptable violent weekend," Johnson said during a press conference in which he called for legislation that would toughen Illinois laws regarding repeat gun crimes and make it harder to purchase a weapon after committing certain crimes.
Johnson said three persons of interest are in custody in connection with several of the shooting incidents this weekend. He noted that officers also shut down 68 block parties over the weekend for illegal activity, seized 83 guns, and arrested 29 people on gun charges.
The death of a teenager is bringing attention to police corruption as well.
Steven Rosenthal, who authorities say shot himself in the head while fleeing police Friday evening.
Rosenthal's family has disputed that he killed himself, and is demanding to see police body-camera video of the incident. Police have said ballistics and camera evidence shows no officers fired their weapons, but the department has not said if it will release body-camera video.
The weekend's bloodshed also included at least two mass shootings.
Five people were wounded in a shooting after a softball game Sunday night in the South Shore neighborhood. Police said someone in a black van opened fire near 75th and Dante shortly before 11 p.m., striking four men and a woman.
A 30-year-old man shot in the ankle, a 40-year-old woman shot in the calf, a 42-year-old man shot in the arm, and an adult male shot in the chest all were being treated at the University of Chicago trauma center. The man shot in the chest was in serious condition, the other three were not seriously hurt. A 26-year-old man who was shot in the leg was stabilized at Jackson Park Hospital & Medical Center.
The other mass shooting happened Friday night in the Englewood neighborhood. Police said six of the people were out in front of a home near 65th and Marshfield, enjoying a summer evening, when they heard gunfire. A 3-year-old boy was among those wounded. A seventh person was struck by a stray bullet in her back yard.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED.
HOLD THESE PEOPLE IN POWER ACCOUNTABLE.
DONALD J. TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS ARE INEPT. YOU ARE FUCKING TROLLS. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN POST BULLSHIT ONLINE. IF YOU HAVE CONCERN, GET YOUR ASSES OUT THERE AND HELP CHICAGOANS.
Chicago is a shooting disaster-they should immediately go to STOP AND FRISK. They have no choice, hundreds of lives would be saved!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 20, 2013
Chicago Police have every right to legally protest against the mayor and an administration that just won’t let them do their job. The killings are at a record pace and tough police work, which Chicago will not allow, would bring things back to order fast...the killings must stop!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 25, 2018
