YES: Chicago is not playing around. They are moving to rename the street in front of Trump Tower "Barack Hussein Obama Way."

A Chicago alderman introduced the ordinance this week to give Wabash Avenue — the street that runs directly through Trump Tower — an honorary designation for Barack Obama.

The push came from the people: an online petition grew from 700 signatures to over 22,000 in days. The alderman said he'd been considering honoring Obama for years, and the petition was the push he needed to move.

The Obama Presidential Center opened in Chicago this week — an $850 million campus built on the South Side, in the community where Obama got his start. Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Bono and more performed. Three former presidents showed up. One wasn’t invited.

Thousands gathered on the lawn just to watch on a screen because they wanted to be there for the moment.

And the day before the opening, Chicago alderman Brendan Reilly introduced the ordinance to put an honorary "Barack Hussein Obama Way" sign right in front of Trump Tower on Wabash Avenue.

You have to wonder if the “Hussein” is in there because Trump seems to love to say it as if it’s derogatory. It’s not.

When asked if the designation would include the Trump Tower block specifically, Reilly said: "Of course."

One president built a $850 million community center on the South Side. The other has a tower with his name on it in gaudy gold letters.

The contrast kind of speaks for itself.
