#BREAKING: President Trump says federal government may "take over cities" to combat rising crime: "Numbers are going to be coming down even if we have to go and take over cities."

Bingo!
Let the communist mayors own it.
Yup! Spot on!
Indeed. The Media and other Democrats are going come out and lecture him about how he cannot do this. It is improper. Keep your hands off our cities!
Then: "Fine. The cities are a mess and it's clearly 100% a Democrat problem. I'd love to get involved and help but, you know, "I can't"."
I also prefer substantive action to suspect threats.
Yes, I believe Trump is trolling the Left.
Seattle’s CHOP zone probably polled very badly for Democrats. That’s why the “protestors” simply gave up (even though at first they were armed) and you it went to zero on the news cycle.
Portland’s chaos seems to be getting much less play in the MSM.
Trump should keep it alive and in front of everyone.
I realize people react to this via different perspectives - “they voted for it let them wallow in it”, “it’s their problem”, and “he should stay out of it.”
Here is the most important thing. He took an oath to uphold the constitution. The constitutional rights of Americans are being trampled by this lawlessness and the feckless policy of democrats (and a few republicrats) in cities all across America.
President Trump should demand that it be stopped because it is the right thing to do and it upholds his oath. This might not be a popular position with everyone for the reasons given above and concern about limits on Presidential powers, but “doing the right thing” is not always the expedient, convenient, or politically beneficial thing.
My heart grieves for the children trapped in these violent communities. We MUST NOT lose another generation to inner-city violence. We were witnessing improvements in these communities under this President and that is good for the nation. However, opportunity zones, criminal justice reforms, and charter schools will be meaningless if we surrender the streets and these communities to lawlessness.
LOL - he is pushing lefty buttons as fast as he can.
I think you might be right ...
Why not.
Obama administration entered into to consent decrees with cities and Law Enforcement entities
I am none of those things and if you weren't too lazy to read any of my posts over the last 20 years you'd know that.
Trump deserves criticism sometimes, and calling me names - stupid names - is lame.
The mayors affected should be prosecuted as accessories to the felonies committed by rioters.
And hanged.
Only if called into federal service. And once federalized then their law enforcement abilities are limited by law.
“In the United States, martial law may be declared by proclamation of the President or a State governor, but such a formal proclamation is not necessary.”
It’s time to lower the hammer across this nation BEFORE the situation gets to critical mass. And since a formal proclamation is not necessary, it may already have been mobilizing...prayerfully.
This would really be bad news. The feds have NO constitutional authority to do such a drastic thing. Trump needs to use his “bully pulpit” to rebuke the corrupt state officials allowing this nonsense. He should also exhort the people of each state to recall their corrupt officials and elect responsible ones. This can be done quickly in a emergency referendum.
STOP THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDS FROM COMMITTING MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTS. Someday, it will come back to bite us HARD!!!
MAGA by restoring our Free Constitutional Republic.
Whatever RINO snowflake troll. That’s what you are.
By doing what?
Yesterday “peaceful” protesters were physically attacked with one going to the hospital
He is president and doesn’t give a damn about the opinion of cowards like you
He knows you would cower in the middle of the arena and let the lions devour you
Oh. How limited?
Like if antifa and blm open fire on people can they do anything about it?
