Trump needs to call a meeting with Chicago black and Hispanic pastors and community leaders. With the polls he's getting now among those groups, many will likely attend (and those that don't can take the blame along with Emanuel).
Trump should listen to their concerns, then follow up by calling out the National Guard to patrol these neighborhoods. He will ultimately be considered a hero and minorities will continue to flock to him. (I'm sure the left will have conniptions about the "occupation" and "martial law" that Trump "imposed", but so what?).
Camden, New Jersey had something similar happen a few years back when Chris Christie called in the State Police to take over policing the city. It worked quite well. As it appears that Illinois is not willing to take this step, so Trump should move now.

Round up all the street gangs and guess what would come down?

" the city's gun violence epidemic continued unabated."
There's one noun in that statement which renders it entirely false.

Screw Chicago. That smart-assed, loud mouthed little punk Emanuel guarded 24/7 by thugs with badges knows everything about everything. Let him figure it. Normal cops no longer give an iota of a damn and who can blame them.

Even worse marksmanship than normal for Chicago.

That’s easy to say, but a cop out. What’s the solution?

“Round up all the street gangs and guess what would come down?”
Then the political structure would lose a whole lot of money. It’s like prohibition where Chicago politicians were paid off by the outfit.

I don’t believe Trump can call out the National Guard absent the governor’s request. And maybe the mayor’s. We remain a Federal Republic despite attempts to tear it down.

As I wrote over on Hannity the other day: it’s a shame we can’t dress up as zombies and scare the whole political class out of the country.
