A man who is hanging off the side of Trump Tower from a rope Sunday evening is demanding to speak to President Donald Trump.

The man, who is in his 20s, has been dangling from the tower’s 16th-floor balcony since about 5:30 p.m., asking to speak to the president and trying to get his message to the media, according to Chicago Police spokesman Tom Ahern. Police officers at the scene said they believe the man is using a climbing harness.

The man has threatened to kill himself, Chicago police said. A negotiator is currently on the deck trying to get the man down, according to Ahern.

Police have blocked off traffic around Trump Tower, which overlooks the Chicago River at 401 N. Wabash Ave. A crowd of onlookers gathered across from the tower, some wondering if it was part of a stunt for the upcoming Batman movie, which has been shooting in the city recently.

When Obama was an Illinois Senator he and Bill (step on the American flag) Ayers had gained total control of the distribution of funds from the Annenberg foundation which they passed its millions on to lefty fronts offering courses to Illinois and Chicago schools pushing the what soon would be the BLM agenda. Author and investigative reporter Stanley Kurtz should be asked about this when interviewed about socialist plans for the suburbs. For at that time when Obama was doing this he tried to expose those radical left study programs over a program held by WGN radio but was threatened by protesters who prevented a cohearent presentation.

None of the news stories mention that he happens to appear to be Chinese, but ok

That's pretty good. Could actually be the president when Trump needs a rest.

Sorry, President Trump moved to Florida. Hold tight, he’ll be back in NY sometime in December.

You don’t know what is wrong with this person, or even what his concerns are.

Be a human being, and not a smartass.

Reminds me of the time I accidentally called the suicide hot line in Gaza.

They asked me if I could drive a truck.

Interesting that this gets all the press, and there is not a single word in the media about the mass shooting that took place at 5:40 PM CDT today in the 200 block of N. Sacramento in Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood.

Five black men shot ranging in age from 25 to 37. I’m guessing these black lives don’t matter.

“Well I’d like to speak to the President too(to tell him what a great job I think he’s doing), but it ain’t going to happen.”

Trump should talk him down and add it to his endless list of accomplishments. BTW, i bet if they called the President he’d take it
