"When West Palm Beach sends it people to Mar-A-Lago, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump *Alternative Fact
Mar-A-Lago's Neighbor Has Same Crime Rate as Chicago
The city of West Palm Beach, which sits just across the Intracoastal Waterway from Trump's palatial Mar-a-Lago Resort, had a violent crime rate in 2015 that was equal to that of the Windy City
Chicago is the poster city for violent crime to President Trump, but he's got some mean streets right in his Florida backyard, NBC News reported.
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.

Trump is constantly calling out Chicago. There is a reason for him doing so and it has little to do with crime. It is about race and fomenting hatred among his uneducated minions.

Seriously, that place is a creepy, creepy place. I've been there and the rich people will literally refuse to look at you if they don't feel you are worthy enough for their standards.
They once opposed a Starbucks in Palm Beach because they felt it was too beneath their standards and would bring in "undesired elements." Seriously. A Starbucks.
