DOWNTOWN — President Donald Trump tried to criticize Chicago during a Wednesday rally — but his remarks quickly turned into a joke on Twitter.
"Look at Chicago. What the hell is going on in Chicago? What's that all about?" Trump asked during a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
A reporter from the Toronto Star, Daniel Dale, shared the quotation on Twitter. It prompted more than 100 people to jokingly respond: Well, there's nice weather. The Cubs and Sox are a disappointment. The food's good.
"What the hell is going on in D.C.?" one quipped.
Here are some of the responses::

Chicago checking in: I just went for a nice walk by the lake and are some pulled pork tacos. Not much else going on here.

I walked safely home and put my kids to bed after dinner. Now I'm prepping for camping. Scary urban stuff.

Don't hate because we found a way to combine pizza and that most Midwestern of dishes - casserole.

It was sunny today, little cloudy after lunch. Transformers premiere. Loop Wendy's closed. Gauguin at Art Institute. Best pizza. Beaches.

Met a friend for lunch then we walked to the river along the south bank. Hopped in a cab and went home to Avondale. Nice day

They have this thing they call 'deep dish pizza'. Don't be afraid though, you can use a knife and fork with your tiny hands.
