'It's an absolute and total disaster': Trump blames 'war zone' Chicago weekend which saw 12 killed and 59 injured on Rahm Emanuel's 'lack of leadership' as calls mount for him to step down (even inside his own party)

Pesident Trump on Thursday blamed 'bad leadership' in Chicago for a weekend of violence. Trump said a prison reform roundtable that the 12 deaths and more than five dozen shootings in the major U.S. city last weekend were shocking and unacceptable. 'We must strengthen community bonds with law enforcement, including cities like Chicago that have been an absolute and total disaster,' he said. 'We'll be talking about Chicago today because that is something that in terms of our nation nobody could believe it could be happening.'
