My only question is where is our AG in all of this? IL should be embarrassed that it's the hated Trump who's getting something done on this.
So why did Trump have Alderman Burke dealings?

Chicago Alderman and Notorious Nanny-Stater Ed Burke Charged in Federal Corruption Scheme

https://reason.com/2019/01/07/chicag...ious-nanny-ed/

This is a Conservative publication.

What link says Trump wanted and got to keep dealing with Burke.
From link:
- The charges against Burke gained additional national attention because of his longtime ties to President Donald Trump.
- Though the professional relationship between Trump and Burke formally ended in June of last year, the alderman's 12-year run as one of Trump's personal attorneys included convincing the city council, of which he was a member, to cut property taxes by $14 million for the Chicago Trump Tower.


Trump wanted to maintain tax cuts to increase profits for the Family Hotel business.

Still true that corrupt politicians AND businessman .... get along fine cutting under the table deals and bordering in illegal doings.

*** Trump is no different in his business dealings over the decades to bankruptcies.

I'm just thankful he is fighting the Dems so they don't trash the rest of the country the way they trashed Illinois since with friends like Democrats the middle class doesn't need enemies.

Hopefully, no other President uses Social media to trash and mock and demean those who disagree with him. Doesn't matter if its a Top General he once praised or a former Republican Presidential Candidate who was even already dead. But did want to clearly tell America that Trump is NOT this Savior.

He kept up trashing him after his death. Trump admitted being THIN-SKINNED in a 1990 video interview he wanted to be praised for JUST the Trump Taj Mahal Camino in AC. The interviewer asked other questions on Trims dealings ..... if ended up mocking the interviewer and media (Same as today) and stormed off the set.

It was ALWAYS TRUMP vs taking the tough questions others he did business with accusing him. He YES attempts to destroy their Careers or business. Very Righteous of him.

One may like his Political choices as a Republican. But in business he had soooo many lawsuits and dished them out to anyone he could disagreeing or not giving in to him. That he left much in the way of unrighteous dealings thru his life .... rule and eat at his soul.

Admitting thin skin 1990 interview he walked off the set then. Same Trump today.

*** He admits to EXACTLY what you said though ..... he can't just let even the little guys roll off. It eats at him in the middle of the night and the tweets start.


Population losses are a Northern States derma for a couple decades. CORPORATE AMERICA STEERS MIGRATIONS. They did to the Sunbelt States cheaper to operate in, and lower pay salaries. PLUS CITY AND STATE LUCRATIVE INCENTIVE PACKAGES.

Add the hundreds the went to Japan, then Taiwan and China over the decades from primarily the US Northeast and Midwest.

But cost in the Sunbelt rising fast now in these booming cities. May change the game in the future?

If he gets re-elected and he probably will, there is no way mentally he can finish out second term

God knows why every conversation has to be about Trump, especially with this topic.

As to the topic itself, Chicago lost a lot of poor and middle class black families, which has caused the bulk of the population losses/overall stagnations. Outside of downtown/west loop, no neigborhoods are gaining population significantly, if at all, since the healthier neighborhoods are not having kids anywhere to the degree of prior generations.

The city and state financial issues, taxes, crime/crime stigma, and weather are also big factors as to population drops and stagnations.

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). It runs strong in this area and tends to creep into things unpredictably. And yes, it's besides the point of this thread. Trump has nothing at all to do with 2014 Chicago population losses!

Anyway, back to that point, it's probably illuminating to look at who left the City between the 2000 and 2010 Censuses. South Lawndale (Little Village) lost nearly 12,000. Lower West Side (Pilsen) shed over 8,000. And the losses were even more dramatic in our roughest community areas. Austin lost 19,000, Englewood 9,500, West Garfield Park 5,000, North Lawndale 6,000, Humbolt Park 9,500, Roseland 8,000, Grand Crossing 6,000, Auburn Gresham 7,200, South Shore 12,000, and West Pullman 7,000.

That's 89,200. Just 12 of 77 Community Areas accounted for close to half the City's losses during the 2000s. It might be reasonable to conclude that the losses we experienced in 2014 were largely from these areas as well, along with other struggling neighborhoods plagued by violence and blight.

Even areas which most of us would consider to be in good shape (Rogers Park, Uptown, Lincoln Square, and Irving Park for example) lost people. There, my guess would be that smaller more affluent households replaced larger working class households.
