  • After years of warm relations with the Biden White House, a new, grim reality sets in for Illinois when Donald Trump is inaugurated Monday.

The article from WBEZ discusses the potential impacts of a second term for Donald Trump on Chicago, focusing on several key areas. It highlights Trump's previous policies and statements that could influence the city, including his approach to immigration, law enforcement, and economic policies. Trump's first term saw actions like the travel ban affecting Muslim-majority countries, which had implications for Chicago's diverse population. His administration's tough stance on crime, particularly in cities like Chicago, could lead to increased federal intervention in local policing. Economically, Trump's tax cuts and deregulation might continue, potentially affecting local businesses and infrastructure projects. Additionally, his policies on trade, especially with China, could impact Chicago's role as a major trade hub. The article also touches on the political atmosphere, noting how Trump's rhetoric and policies could further polarize the city's political landscape, influencing local elections and community relations.
