Trump Says He’s Going into Chicago and Other Cities Whether “Stupid” Leaders Ask Him to or Not – “You’re Going to be Safe Within Two Weeks”
President Trump on Friday reaffirmed his plans to “clean up” cities like Chicago, Baltimore, New York, and San Francisco with federal law enforcement and potential National Guard deployment in the cities, whether local officials want him to or not.
“We have the safest place, Washington, DC, and we’ll be going to other cities to help out,” he said.
“Preferably, we’d like to be asked, but in some cases, that just won’t happen because they’re people that don’t understand the word ask, people that don’t understand they’re in trouble, or they’re stupid.”
Trump made the comments while hosting a dinner with White House officials, members of Congress, and friends in the White House’s newly renovated Rose Garden.
Trump indicated that he’s not just going to focus on Democratic states, giving a nod to the “great” Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and “great” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). “We’re going to come into New Orleans, and we’re going to make that place so safe. It’s got a little problem right now, a couple of headaches, like murders, a lot of little murders going on, and we’re not going to stand for it,” he said.
New Orleans, however, is run by corrupt Democratic Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who currently faces federal charges for wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
“And we’re going to come in, we’re going to clean it up. You’re going to be safe within two weeks. That’s going to be the safest place, just like this is the safest place,” Trump added. “And then we’ll be going elsewhere throughout the country.”
