Chicago is the poster city for violent crime to President Trump, but he's got some mean streets right in his Florida backyard.
The city of West Palm Beach, which sits just across the Intracoastal Waterway from Trump's palatial Mar-a-Lago Resort aka the Winter White House on exclusive Palm Beach, had a violent crime rate in 2015 that was equal to that of the Windy City, according to federal crime records.
There were 23 homicides in a city of just 104,919 residents. And the rate of violent crime, which also includes rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults, was 9 for every 1,000 residents the same as the far bigger Chicago, records show.

Penny Pritzker of Superior Bank,major donor to Dem Candidates and one of the wealthiest hangs in Chi-Town. Hunch says there is a Hedge Fund that Trumps Pal wants wrecked. BTW,Chi-Town took down the Trump Street Sign a couple of weeks ago that was in the area of his so called Hotel.
This is what a Narcissistic Bully does with a Mega-phone.
