You know, I’d actually just leave Chicago and the other Democrat run cities alone. Let their Dem voting citizens suffer under what they voted for
Trump says Chicago next up for federal crime crackdown
President Donald Trump said Friday that Chicago will be the next city that his administration targets for a federal crackdown on crime and suggested a longer and more intense campaign in the nation’s capital.
“We’ll straighten that one out, probably next, that will be our next one after this,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “I think Chicago will be our next and then we’ll help with New York.”
The president has credited his federal takeover of Washington, DC’s police force and deployment of the National Guard there with driving down crime in the city — touting a weeklong stretch without any murders as a “miracle” despite the fact that such weeks have occurred in DC multiple times so far this year.
He said he could keep National Guard members in the city “as long as I want” by declaring a national emergency, a prospect likely to unnerve city residents. More than 1,900 National Guard troops from multiple states — including DC, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Ohio, Louisiana and Tennessee guards — have been mobilized in DC as of Thursday, according to Joint Task Force-DC.
Well, I’m not sure Trump would actually have the authority to do this, like he does with D.C. Plus, it would be a nightmare trying to crack down on the crime that the Dems in charge seem to love. It’s one hell of a bigger city than D.C.
Trump dismissed polling that showed most city residents disapprove of the deployment of federal troops, calling it “fake news” and claiming that residents of Chicago and cities are clamoring for a similar law enforcement crackdown where they live.
“They’re wearing red hats, African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago,’” Trump said.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement: “We take President Trump’s statements seriously, but to be clear the City has not received any formal communication from the Trump administration regarding additional federal law enforcement or military deployments to Chicago.” He said homicides, robberies and shootings have dropped significantly in the past year.
Is this just Trump being Trump? Should Chicago take this seriously? As far as shootings, well, all you have to do is look at the Chicago news. Dude was shot during an argument in a deli. Just like in D.C. you hear about roaming bands of youts committing lots of crime that doesn’t really get reported by the city.
Anyhow, it’s fun watching Trump drive the Democrats batguano insane.
Donald Trump is quickly destroying the United States of America. His tariffs are warranted, but put in place in such a way as to create worldwide chaos and anger nearly every country on the planet.
India is dumping the USA and embracing BRICS and Russia. Brazil and Argentina the same. Putin is shrewdly observing and bombing Poland, and American factories in Ukraine as he comes to realize that the United States is the weakest it has ever been since the end of WW2.
No allies. No friends. No one to have their back. So Putin is laughing at Donald Trump and his MAGA base who want nothing to do with wars of any kind. As a result, he can push Trump around all day long and the TACO king chickens out over and over again when someone calls his bluff.
Now I must proclaim that I was glad to see Trump in the White House until around April when it became apparent he is on a revenge tour and not really trying to lead the USA to prosperity. The rest of the world is suffering from staggering price increases or shortages while those of you inside the USA are finding prices escalating and another 5 trillion in debt piled onto a nation that is already planning to just spend the tariff money and doing nothing about the staggering cost of this debt.
In the end, Maga will be destroyed in the 2028 presidential elections if not before and the GOP will find themselves as irrelevant as the democrats are today if the likes of Majorie Taylor Greene and many other equally radical pols have their way inside the maga movement.
What once started out as a genuine movement to take back America from the woke and radicals such as antifa, has become Donald Trumps personal ship sailing over the waterfall of revenge on a world that laughed at Trump. Never laugh at Trump is the one takeaway everyone is finally starting to realize. He has made his point, but for a man like Trump, making a point is less about winning a debate than it is about grinding you into bone dust under his boot heel and then burying you in an unmarked grave.
The world is suffering from a sane and rational USA foreign policy that makes any sense. This is a blow the world will come to rue for the next 100 years.
