Trump Threatens Chicago With Federal Crackdown On Crime

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.
