Trump Jr .: You'd be shot within two seconds for wearing the Trump hat in Chicago

Donald Trump Jr. said Monday that anyone wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap in Chicago would be hit in "two seconds", while he continued to hit the "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett for to have organized an attack on Trump's supporters.

During an interview on "Fox and Friends," Trump's eldest son claimed that he had been censored on social media after tweeting "sarcastically" about the aggression from Smollett, which would then have been orchestrated by the actor.

"Dude, I'm really shocked that downtown Chicago people, on the coldest night of the year, do not wear MAGA hats," Trump told Jr. Smollett case, hinting that he did not see why would do that.

"You know, if you wear a MAGA hat in downtown Chicago, you probably would not last too long, OK, about two seconds before being shot," continued Trump Jr.

The Chicago fights with gun violence, particularly in the southern and western parts, have made the city a regular topic of discussion for the president, who is committed to taking action to help the city fight against violence in this city, but has hardly taken any concrete action. Although Trump Jr. claims that an individual wearing a Trump hat would be shot in downtown Chicago, downtown is considered relatively safe.

Smollett, who is openly gay, said he received a homophobic and racist letter late last month. He then reported that he had been attacked by two masked men who had poured bleach on him, put the rope around his neck and threw homophobic and racist epithets to him, claiming, inter alia, that He was in "MAGA country".

However, last week the Chicago police said that it seemed that Smollett himself had sent the letter and organized the attack because he was unhappy with his pay for "Empire" . Smollett is charged with disorderly conduct in flagrante delicto for allegedly filing a false police report.

Trump Jr. claimed that he was censored by Instagram and Twitter because he "had the nerve to doubt what appeared to be a crazy story".

Like his father, Trump Jr. often uses social media to express his opinions. He has been criticized for using his platform to promote conspiracy theories.

The president's son also congratulated the superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, Eddie Johnson, for handling the case.

"I thought he was great, I found the press conference fantastic, and he's 100% right," he said. "These things really do serve people who are really affected by this, not an actor who earns $ 65,000 in an episode that wants a higher salary, who wants more attention when coming against Trump because Is the cool thing to do but real,, the people who are affected by this. "

Trump Jr. also criticized the increase in allegations of racism, claiming that it was like an "easy button for the left".
