Members of Chicago's political class got a crash course Wednesday on how President Donald Trump will gover

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Members of Chicago's political class got a crash course Wednesday on how President Donald Trump will govern, as they fretted over an executive order on immigration that could cost the city millions in federal funding and scrambled to respond to a Twitter threat to "send in the feds" to fix the city's gun violence.

The Democratic response to the Republican president's moves was a unified one. On gun crime: Send us money to combat violence, but don't dare send in the National Guard. On immigration: Don't cut our funding, but if you do, we'll still protect immigrants from deportation and maintain our sanctuary city status.
Chicago responds to The Donald.
