Chicago Facing Bankruptcy but Spends Taxpayer $ to Place ‘Real Fake’ Statue in Front of Trump Tower

The city of Chicago is facing bankruptcy due to Democrat Party leadership that has simply destroyed the great American city. But this isn’t stopping the Democrat leadership in Chicago from paying for and placing a statue in front of Trump Tower in Chicago. The statue reads “Real Fake”.

It was reported earlier this week that Chicago is on the verge of bankruptcy. Two years ago Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Chicago’s debt to junk status, now politicians in Chicago are arguing that maybe bankruptcy is not such a bad thing. Chicago currently faces $25 billion in pension promises that it cannot pay.

But this hasn’t stopped the liberal Democrat politicians running the city to place the anti-President Trump statue in front of his building in Chicago. No wonder this city is going bankrupt.

Can liberals do NOTHING correctly?

Mr. Trump, quit being nice. Send in the National Guard and clean the crap of Chicago!

Yep. Hillary did not get elected and there is no federal bailout coming.

But keep attacking the president and his hotels. One of the few areas in Chicago that actually pay taxes and hire people.

God Bless DJT.

I hope Chicago has a flag that is yellow, blue and red — like the flag of Venezuela.

The sky will be the limit for CHICAGO DEMS if the Government owned and run CASINO passes the Illinois General Assembly.

Not to mention a giant deer statue named "Deer". I guess they didn't have money to pay for branding.

Struggling Mayor Rahm Emanuel is furious because he was banking on President Hillary Rodham Clinton to bail him out of Chicago by appointing him to a Federal position.

Now, he is stuck in Chicago with no viable options to seek a new position commensurate with his greed and ego and Trump’s opposition to “sanctuary cities” is going to cost Emanuel and Chicago $$$$$$$$$!

That was likely the most walking the fat woman in the video has done in 10 years.

They spent taxpayer money to paint their transit cars in rainbow colors.

Trump:
Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!

Lieberal Progressive politics on display and getting progressively worse. It’s a complex mess because they violated the simple common sense of operating within a framework of a balanced budget. The ILL n annoy Demo pols are far worse than those hooked on gambling addictions. They have gambled with the taxpayers funds far too long with no one stopping them. Like the Bible verse— perish for a lack of understanding and wisdom. Fools have voted for fellow fools to represent them. The other people’s money (the productive ones) has run out.

Really surprised that hasn’t been tagged, as in with spray paint.

Why would anyone put up a statue of a giant deer with chronic wasting disease?

Their heads are already exploding over the size of the letters on the building. It is at the perfect point on that polluted waterway they call a river so that you can see it from both ways. Perfections. Took this from a water-taxi.

Cook County--the county of the city of Chicago--makes up most of the financial mess of the state of Illinois. Mayor Rahm Emanuel MUST swallow his pride, realize Cook County's dire financial straits, and declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy for that County. Only way that Illinois can dig out of its final quagmire.

Just what does a “real fake” statue look like?
