You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

    That’s the normal way to address a former president. They do the same with all the other former presidents as well, this isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

        No, addressing someone with the same convention that’s been used for literally hundreds of years is not weird.

        Being obsessed with the genitals of urinating children is weird. Burning pieces of paper with a series of words you don’t like is weird. Denying basic science is weird. Bribing pornstars to hide your affairs during an election is weird. Don’t dilute the message.

          Snuff has been around for hundreds of years, but using it is still weird.

          I’ve only ever seen former presidents referred to as “former president” in the third person and “mister” when addressed directly.
