On CNN’s The Situation Room Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson sharply criticized President Trump’s comments about sending U.S. military forces into American cities. After reading Trump’s remark that Chicago might become a “training ground” for military deployment, Johnson called the statement “absolutely appalling” and labeled Trump an “unstable human being.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson is defending his administration’s approach to fiscal management, asserting that Chicago does not have a spending problem despite the city’s budget ballooning to $17.1 billion and a projected deficit rising to $1.15 billion.
