Trump has ventures in Chicago and is no dummy about how to get things done in that city.

Besides, his entire "campaign" was a fake for free publicity and attention in the first place.

Still, not worth the bad PR you get for being a labeled a hypocrite.

Trump's campaign matched his personality.

Bad PR? There is no such thing as bad press for someone like Trump.

Trump never really even had a campaign, it was a PR play from the start.

Isn't it ironic how up in Wisconsin everyone is irate that the gov is doing this stuff and calling for recalls?

Meanwhile....in Chicago Rahm is doing the same stuff.

What's really funny is that with all the complaints on the national level about 1%ers and regressive taxes on the poor....it's Chicago that not too long ago raised thier sales tax rate to one of the highest in the US for a major metro area.

It's long proven (See passage of NAFTA) that if you really want to rip up the unions you actually need to have a democrat do it. If you try to do it as a Rep you will get too much blowback.
