[Monday night, Der Bungle told Bill O’Reilly about meeting with some top Chicago PD brass.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/08/23/donald-trump-says-chicago-police-could-stop-surging-violence-by-being-much-tougher/?utm_term=.a00e84b2080d) [Chicago PD says no such meeting took place.](http://chicagoist.com/2016/08/24/chicago_police_remind_trump_he_neve.php) ---

How many dead, wounded or in camps if the problems of Chicago were “solved in a week” by the Chicago PD? How much economic damage? How big would the lawsuits be? How many of those cops would be up on death penalty charges? How many other cities would BURN? Yeah, no major police official in this nation would be stupid enough to say something like this. Sure, some loudmouth racist piece of shit low or even mid level cop might, but I seriously doubt any top cop in a major American city said this. ---

Under the Trump regime “loudmouth racist piece of shit” is going to be a requirement for higher office. ---

You do have to appreciate how, for Trump, being a bully of a manager who can tell you with a straight face that he can solve crime “in a week” is enough for him to not only believe without _any details at all_, but to recommend the man for Chief of Police of a major US city. Somehow, I think most of the conversations Trump has happen entirely in his head. ---

There’s also the [stuff he’s said about Morning Joe](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-hurls-twitter-attacks-morning-joe-co-hosts-article-1.2760668), which seems to be just rumors he’s using to try and discredit them. I find it hilarious that he’s getting into fights with Fox News of all people. I apologize for linking to one of those dumb sites that have the video follow you even if you’ve scrolled past it. But at least you can close it, unlike on some sites. Still, when will they realize that, if you scroll past the video, you aren’t interested in watching it? Do they think you can read and watch at the same time? ---
