Superintendent of Chicago Police refuses to meet Trump

[evansusmc2]

I'm not saying Trump is dumb. Though something might be up in that department. It's well documented.

I'm saying Trump is a fool of idiot proportions.

Which can't be disputed.

Thanks for stopping by to drop your OPINION.

But uuuuumm, you already know what you and horse you road in on can go do.

 

[evansusmc2]

Disgraceful, cowardly, incompetent are the top 3 words that come to mind when I think about this superintendent.

True. And at this point he is just doubling down because he has nothing to lose. So he might as well throw caution to the wind in order to score points with the sore loser brigade.

 

[evansusmc2]

you are so ignorant it’s really not even worth responding to but I have a few seconds.

The city is a war zone? Gosh you are stupid
Virtue signaling? I don’t do buzz words
Nobody with a brain wants to meet Trump. When are you guys going to get that?

Chicago is a city that doesn’t want someone like you that’s for sure. It’s far to great a place, stick to the trailer bud

It’s so odd that a non American is so obsessed with everything American.

WTF!??! (x3)

 

[evansusmc2]

I feel like he should represent his people at such an event despite his personal feelings. It's his job as the face of the department.

OK,,, let’s put it this way.

There is a Coca Cola bottling Co. main distribution branch in every state. What if you are the manager of one of these companies. And it’s the worst selling branch in the country. Not to mention negative profits due to employee theft.

You hear that the Owner of Coca Cola is visiting on Monday. Wouldn’t you find a way not to show up to work? I’d have a copy of my doctors appointment posted on my office door. Probably turn my phone off as well.

 

[Confucamus]

Meh, it's his right not to. But disrespecting your President like that has it's consequences.

 

[evansusmc2]

If you asked me to meet Trump, I'd say no.

Don't know why people are triggered by it.

Well you’re Joe B. McSherdogger with no major responsibilities or anything to worry about.

The only thing that “triggers” me is the poor guy that is directly under the super intendant that will have to speak and answer questions on his behalf.

 

[evansusmc2]

Imagine being the "billionaire" president of the most powerful country in the world and being such a whiny little bitch that you can't have a single public appearance or speaking engagement, no matter how quick or non-political, without making a total ass of yourself with your airing of perceived grievances and attacking your "enemies". Imagine being so powerful yet so insecure that you are constantly involved in Twitter beefs with D-list celebrities while actively serving as POTUS.

There is going to come a day, maybe real soon, maybe not, when having pictures of yourself cheesing it up with Trump is going to be a real skeleton in anyone's closet who intends to serve in a public capacity. More public officials should follow the lead of this police administrator, despite the fact that DJT will talk all kinds of shit about them. Associating with him is going to be seen as approval of his conduct, which is completely unprofessional.

OK well that’s just really your own subjective views and opinions though. Deep down inside you know no one cares either.

 

[Black Conf3derate]

If you asked me to meet Trump, I'd say no.

Don't know why people are triggered by it.

Why would anyone ask you nor want to meet you in the first place? You're not the superintendent of Chicago PD.

No, I've never done anything like that.

Are you dumb?

Tea party started as an anti bank theft party with a similar message as Michael Moore's in 'Capitalism,' but because of the danger that corp media now sees in many Trump followers, the tea party was quickly hijacked and had it's message basically 180'd by establishment Republican plants. That's why it died and faded away.

I just can't. You talk like you are unable to think. You use words like "Trumpers" and think only in rigid, media approved media terms. Another brain wasted.

Sure, Alex.....

 

[Luke Rockhard]

Ah yes. Any idiot can take a million dollar loan from their dad and turn it into a billion dollar empire. Any idiot can become president when the entire establishment was against you.

this is the idiot statement of the day. You honestly believe this????? If you do, please get some spray paint. A zip lock bag from your last meth purchase, spray said paint in the bag, and huff till you're even more brain dead.

 

[Luke Rockhard]

Literally any idiot could have made as much money as Trump if given the $1 million that Trump got. If he had taken the money and invested in a S&P 500 mutual fund like millions Americans do in their retirement portfolios he would have more money now than has.

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown about 300% to an estimated $4 billion since 1987, according to a report by the Associated Press. But the real estate mogul would have made even more money if he had just invested in index funds. The AP says that, if Trump had invested in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion.

The S&P 500 has grown 1,336% since 1988.

Other billionaires’ net worths have beaten the stock market’s growth in that time. Bill Gates, for example, saw his increase 7,173%, to $80 billion, since 1988. Warren Buffett’s wealth grew 2,612% in the same time period, to $67.8 billion.

you forgot the trust fund baby inherited his daddy's business in 1982 and was valued at 200 million (550 million in today's money). You're also believing that Trump is a billionaire.... Which is highly unlikely as he refuses to release his taxes. As bad as he is at business deals, I'd imagine the Trump empire is ran on credit, and actually has NO ASSETS at all. I'd be shocked if Donald Trump had a net worth of more than 50 million. Dudes a retard. You ever meet a retard who's good at saving money??? No. Doesn't happen because they don't have the brain power to understand basic plus and minuses involved in basic accounting.

If a future dem president had only respectful things to say about some police chief in some red state but the chief was a right-wing mouth breather who decided to refuse to meet with that president guys like you would say, "This chief is just doing what that Johnson guy did to Trump. If you thought that was OK you have to say this is OK, too."

Herp Derp!

I just think my OPINION is better than your OPINION - objectively.

I don't think he is a billionaire. That claim was made by the article I quoted.

Visiting Chicago for the first time as president, Donald Trump disparaged the city Monday as a haven for criminals that is "embarrassing to us as a nation" under the leadership of its top cop, who sat out Trump's speech to protest the president's immigration policies and frequently divisive rhetoric.

"There is one person who is not here today," Trump told a friendly audience at a conference of police chiefs. "Where is he? I want to talk to him. In fact, more than anyone else, this person should be here because maybe he could learn something, and that's the superintendent of the Chicago Police, Eddie Johnson."

Johnson's decision to boycott the event angered the city's chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, which said in a Facebook post that "such a gesture would be an insult to both President Trump and the office of the presidency itself and would be a mark of disgrace upon the city throughout the entire nation, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot."

But the Democratic mayor and Illinois' Democratic governor stood in solidarity with Johnson, who announced days before the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference that he would not attend.

"This is the land of Lincoln and when you come to the state of Illinois you should respect all the people who live here in the state of Illinois," said Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Lightfoot also refused to meet with Trump, and said on Twitter that she supports Johnson.

"It's no surprise that @realDonaldTrump brought his insulting, ignorant buffoonery to Chicago," the mayor tweeted. "Luckily, in this city, we know the truth and we will not let anyone - no matter how high the office - denigrate who we are as a people or our status as a welcoming city."

"Rather than belittle Chicago's communities with hateful and dishonest rhetoric, he needs to go back to D.C. and face his fate," Lightfoot said, apparently referring to the House impeachment inquiry against the president.

Trump has frequently criticized Chicago for its crime problems and status as a sanctuary city, one of scores of cities around the country that refuse to work with federal authorities to round up people who are living in the U.S. illegally.

At a news conference later Monday, Johnson said Trump had ignored a "double digit" reduction in violent crime in the city over the past three years.

Trump has long held up the nation's third-largest city as the poster child of urban violence and dysfunctional Democratic politics.

At one point in the address, Trump turned his daily complaint about the impeachment inquiry into a swipe at "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, who has been accused of making a false claim about being attacked by Trump supporters in Chicago earlier this year.

"You have the case of this wise guy Jessie Smollett ... and he said MAGA country did it," Trump said, using the acronym for his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan. "It's a real big scam, just like the impeachment of your president is a scam."

The FOP Lodge 7, which represents rank-and-file Chicago police officers, announced that it had cast a vote of no confidence in Johnson. The union's president, Kevin Graham, was first to greet Trump on the tarmac of O'Hare International Airport, after he landed in the city.

In the speech, Trump rattled off Chicago crime statistics and claimed that Johnson puts the needs of people living in the U.S. illegally above those of law-abiding residents of Chicago. "Those are his values and frankly those values to me are a disgrace," Trump said. "I want Eddie Johnson to change his values and to change them fast."

During the conference, Trump signed an executive order creating a presidential commission on law enforcement to study issues like substance abuse, homelessness and mental illness. The president also announced that the Justice Department will begin a "surge" to crack down on violent crime in the United States, targeting gang members and drug traffickers in high-crime areas.

Johnson, meanwhile, is under internal investigation after he was found sleeping in a city-owned vehicle earlier this month. Lightfoot said Johnson, who called for the investigation, told her he had "a couple of drinks with dinner" before he fell asleep at a stop sign while driving home. Johnson blamed the episode on a change in his blood pressure medication.

Clearly just mad that Jussie Smollett's attackers haven't been brought to justice yet.

Seriously though how do you have a double digit reduction in violent crime and still have numbers like Chicago? And LOL at the top cop gets hammered and falls asleep at a stop light?

 

[evansusmc2]

No, I've never done anything like that.

OK but you gotta put yourself in his shoes. He is embarrassed of what Chicago has become.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

Ah yes. Any idiot can take a million dollar loan from their dad and turn it into a billion dollar empire. Any idiot can become president when the entire establishment was against you.

Now lets not get too carried away; lest we have to remind you that E Trump & Son became the Trump Organization.

OK but you gotta put yourself in his shoes. He is embarrassed of what Chicago has become.

The OP quotes a double digit drop in crime. Is Johnson lying about that?

 

[PainIsLIfe]

It's funny how you guys always put the onus on everyone but Trump.
Trump is the face of the country, perhaps he should try to represent its people? Everyone, not just the ones that kiss his ass.

Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, etc..these cities all have their problems, but they're still American cities. And for the American president to shit on them for the sole purpose of trying to get at another politician that he doesn't like is some childish horseshit. Especially when we have places like Alabama that ain't far off from being 3rd world.
Even if all of what Trump said were 100% true, the president shouldn't shit on an American city.
Why the hell would you want to meet a guy that publicly bashes your city on a regular basis?

Alabama homicide rate 2018 ---7.8
Chicago homicide rate 2018 --- 23.8
