Trump: There are two Chicagos--one safe, one worse

Chicago's Trump Tower

Unlike Barack Obama, who lived in Chicago, President Donald Trump often discusses America's third largest--for now--city.

Near the end of today's tour de force press conference, Trump had this to say about Obama's hometown:

There are two Chicagos, as you know. One Chicago that is incredible, luxurious and safe. There is another Chicago that is worse than almost any of the places in the Middle East that we talk about and that you talk about on the news.

The incredible and luxurious part includes downtown and the Trump Tower. And the safe includes those places and Edison Park, Lincoln Park, and Mount Greenwood.
