When the topic of gun violence came up, Trump was quick to call out some of the more violent cities in the U.S. “Chicago is an example,” said Trump. “It's worse than Afghanistan.”

Trump suggested that some of the larger Black urban communities in cities like Chicago, Detroit, and Baltimore are especially bad. Trump said, “These cities... it is like living in Hell.” Trump admitted that people question whether or not statements like that are racist, saying, "Everyone gets upset when I say it. They say, 'Oh, is that a racist statement?' It's not a racist — frankly, Black people come up to me and say, 'Thank you. Thank you, sir, for saying it.'"

While Trump did not provide a plan for curbing the violence, he did suggest a very controversial policing tactic. “I know it's very controversial to say, stop and frisk,” said Trump. “Stop and frisk - you take guns away.”

Trump praised the “stop and frisk” practice, which was implemented by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. “It was a great thing he did for New York,” claimed Trump.

Despite current protests calling for a reduction in policing, both Hannity and Trump think the practice could promote law and order. “We can stop [violence] quickly,” said Trump. “And at some point, in the not-too-distant future, I'm going to do it.”

1. Except stop-and-frisk was criticized heavily.

2. Unconstitutional

3. What is he going to do? He can't do anything to make it legal.

It just shows that Trump doesn’t get it, and is the enemy of non-white people.

4. Trump's lie tell: "Black people come up to me and say 'Thank you. Thank you, sir, for saying it.'"

And immediately after initiating the stop-and-frisk, our unreconstructed racist president will order police to use chokeholds just before kneeling on the suspects' necks.

5. There he goes with the "Sir" thing again, which means he is lying through his teeth.

"Everyone gets upset when I say it. They say, 'Oh, is that a racist statement?' It's not a racist — frankly, Black people come up to me and say, 'Thank you. Thank you, sir, for saying it.'"

I can't prove it, but I would bet my life on the fact that there is not one bit of truth to that statement. He is absolutely repulsive. I really don't think we can put up with another four months of this asshole.

8. Yep, "sir" is his tell

If you’re playing poker with the guy and he says “sir” at any point, you know he’s bluffing.

6. He's saying this as another tactic to divide the police with now.

Trying to bully them into going against the constitution for him, and he'll probably suggest they do this ignoring legal rulings and that he'll protect them doing that. trump is telling the Supreme Court Justices now he'll override them on this ignoring their rulings , which he'll increase doing with other issues weakening the Supreme Court decisions.

What about their Second Amendment rights?!
