President Trump condemned Chicago and its leadership after violence struck the city over Labor Day weekend.
“At least 54 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, 8 people were killed. The last two weekends were similar,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Chicago is the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far. Pritzker needs help badly, he just doesn’t know it yet. I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
“CHICAGO IS THE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!” Trump declared in a subsequent post.
On Monday, Trump called out Democratic strongholds for their failure to work with the federal government in curbing crime. “Wow! Mayor Muriel Bowser of D.C. has become very popular because she worked with me and my great people in bringing CRIME down to virtually NOTHING in D.C,” he said. “Her statements and actions were positive, instead of others like Pritzker, Wes Moore, Newscum, and the 5% approval rated Mayor of Chicago, who spend all of their time trying to justify violent Crime, instead of working with us to completely ELIMINATE it, which we have done in Washington, D.C., NOW A CRIME FREE ZONE.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to say that about Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and even the Crime Drenched City of Baltimore???” Trump stated. “It can happen, and it can happen FAST! Work with us!!!”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) has condemned Trump’s efforts to deploy the National Guard to the city, calling it “unconstitutional.”
“The City of Chicago will not waver. We are Chicago. We will not bend or cower, and we will never break,” the mayor said.
