#Trump: New York, Chicago must change ‘thinking’ after violent July 4th weekend

President Trump called on Chicago and New York to change their ways “and thinking” after violence erupted in the cities over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

“New York City and Chicago play the Sanctuary City card, where criminals are protected. Perhaps they will have to start changing their ways (and thinking!),” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday.

The latest post follows Trump’s tweet from Sunday night that offered the federal government’s help to curb the surge of shootings in the two cities.

He noted that 40 people were wounded in the Big Apple and 72 in the Windy City, including 13 who died.

“Chicago and New York City crime numbers are way up,” Trump wrote. “Federal Government ready, willing and able to help, if asked!”

Forty-nine people were wounded in shootings over the weekend in New York, eight of them fatally.

June, with 205 shootings reported over the month, was the most violent in 24 years.

In the Windy City, 67 people were wounded by gunfire, 13 of them fatally.
