‪‪Dwyane Wade‬, ‪Donald Trump

Dwyane Wade's focus is on more than basketball as he returns to Chicago to play for his hometown Bulls. Dwyane Wade is speaking out about the recent death of his cousin, who was gunned down on a South Side Chicago street last week, and the media storm that followed.

"Hillary Clinton is not talking about that. And Donald Trump is the only one that is saying we need to keep America safe again. “You know, it’s like, on one hand – your cousin’s death is used as a ploy for political gain. On the other hand, it’s a national story.”

Wade spoke about a variety of ways to tackle the violence in the city, and said he hopes his return to Chicago will enable him to help the community. "But at the end of the day, we are talking about how safe — or how unsafe our country is and how we do need to stop these criminals and we do need to protect our country," Goertz said. So he by no means meant any harm by that. I can guarantee you that."

“I was kind of conflicted,” Wade told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” in an interview that aired Friday.

Wade also told Stephanopoulos that his kids are afraid of the police, a sentiment that Trump is unlikely to amplify.
