Eloise Gerson, a Trump supporter since 2016 who lives in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood, attended the event as the guest of an Economic Club of Chicago member. 

 “He's going to talk about the economy, how the economy is faltering, how the whole country [is] really because with the borders open, we're getting all these illegal aliens here who are getting all the goodies that our citizens are not getting. Free phone, free housing in the best hotels, and money, $2,000 a month in the city of Chicago,” Gerson said.

It’s safe to say she was disappointed. ☹️. So, it seems, was Trump:

Q: After January 6, will you commit now to respecting and encouraging a peaceful transfer of power?

Trump: You had a peaceful transfer of power

Host: You had a peaceful transfer of power compared with Venezuela

Trump: I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do this interview

Host: The question was about a peaceful transfer of power

Speaking of economics:

He could use the weave on the economy.

You know, for a guy supposedly leading in the economy, he really doesn’t know how to talk about it. Or understand it, for that matter.

To repeat - Trump is a Russian-backed wrecking ball fighting to end:
- the global economy that has made us prosperous
- the Western alliance that has kept us safe
- American democracy that has keep us free

We cannot let this deranged, traitorous old man win. https://t.co/w1ARwzHFIE

It’s a fair assessment.
