Paul Cell, head of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, calls on audience to clap for Trump's *playlist* as he introduces him at the IACP conference...
Trump implies that President Obama didn't want to kill al-Baghdadi (false) and uses a "sir" story (usually a sign that he's lying) to tell the audience that he prioritized killing the ISIS leader. (Trump's Syria pullout jeopardized the operation)
Trump attacks Chicago Superintendent of Police Eddie Johnson for boycotting his speech at the event. Says he's not doing his job, then goes into a lurid description of Chicago's crime problems. Attacking Chicago has often been a proxy for Republicans attacking black communities.
Trump blames Chicago's crime issues on their restrictive gun laws. But most of the guns for Chicago crimes come from Indiana, which has lax gun laws in part thanks to Mike Pence. washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
Trump talks about police departments hiring leaders who don't know where the streets are. It isn't very clear what he's talking about and the audience seems confused as well.
