Don’t forget, Spike Lee was permitted to film “Chiraq” in the city, but the Chicago City Council voted to remove a honorary
“Trump Plaza” street sign across from his hotel because Trump dared to criticize crime and violence in the city!
Here’s a quote:
I have a flashback to 40th Ward alderman Patrick O’Connor’s warning a few days back. This was after the City Council voted to take down an honorary street sign outside Trump Tower.
You don’t want to upset a guy like Trump, O’Connor cautioned.
“If you put a guy like Trump in the office, with whom we have an absolutely terrible relationship, any discretion that he could exercise that would hurt us I think he would,” O’Connor said. “It will be a terrible thing for us personally in Chicago if he were to become president.”
O’Connor continued: “That’s something he understands: Getting even with people. Going after people he doesn’t like. He understands that real well.”
