President Trump revealed during a Friday White House statement that after federal troops "clean up" Washington, D.C., Chicago is "next," followed by New York City.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Chicago's a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we'll straighten that one out probably next. That'll be our next one after this.

And it won't even be tough, and the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to come. They're wearing red hats just like this one, but they're wearing red hats. African American ladies, beautiful ladies are saying, "Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please."

LOL!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Chicago first. That way he’s giving NY a ‘chance’. Guess what that is.

[DesertRhino]

That would sure be nice to have Chicago and New York reset back to a few decades ago when a decent person could visit and be safe.
And maybe it would scare Detroit into cleaning it’s own self up!

Eliot Ness and the untouchables raps box.

While D.C. is a federal district, Chicago and NYC are in sovereign states.

And while Trump’s intentions are good, nevertheless, the feds have no constitutional authority to just go in and “clean it up” regardless of what the people of that city are saying.

It is up to the state and the people of that state to “clean up” their cities.

Remember, America was founded on INDEPENDENCE from gov’t coercion and overreach, and the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, backs that up.

Period.

Yeah but the people in those cities don’t want it straightened out otherwise they wouldn’t vote democrat every freakin’ election.

Look at NYC for example. People complaining about crime, antisemitism, yet when an antisemitic punk named Zohran Mamdani comes along saying he’s going to defund the cops, close the prisons, and supports a “worldwide intifada” you get this in response.........

So obviously the majority of people in NYC want this otherwise Mamdani would not be leading way ahead in the polls. So F them! Seriously! Why should my tax dollars be wasted on these absolute a-holes? My only regret is they can’t be prevented from moving

Chicago scene:
Boss, the word on the street is Orangeman Don and his mob are planning to move in on our Chicago rackets.

Dem Boss: We ain’t gonna let that happen.

All you said is true — until an event occurs where the President invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807.

[af_vet_1981]

This is what I voted for.

[razzle9251]

I don’t understand something. I can see where President Trump has authority in the Federal District, even if the authority is somewhat limited. But by what authority, can President Trump clean up a city in a state? Can he declare a state of emergency? Please don’t misunderstand, I am for the proposed cleanup. I am curious about the mechanics of the action.

I quite enjoyed his hat - is this a new one?

It read TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING

First time I've seen him at the whitehouse without a tie on

I think the last time there was a Republican candidate for Mayor of Chicago, it was Ben Adamowski, and he ran against the real Mayor Daley (Richard J. . the Boss) in the 1960's.

Last time around, there was a white guy, Paul Vallas, who is a lifer dem but ran with sort of Republican ideas, who lost big time to Brandon Johnson. At least, Vallas was the closest thing to a normal person in the last election.

Good

[RoosterRedux]

If I understand correctly, Trump could move on Chicago legally by invoking the Insurrection Act—arguing either obstruction of federal law or denial of equal protection under the law.

[stanne]

“ While D.C. is a federal district, Chicago and NYC are in sov…”

You have not gotten acquainted with President Trump

[pierrem15]

He doesn't need the National Guard: the US attorneys need to start picking up all the criminals in Chicago whose cases, no matter how plea-bargained down by Soros prosecutors, present facts constituting prima facie evidence of "felon in possession."

That's thousands of scum vacuumed off the street for 5 - 7 years in a Federal maximum security unit far from homies and family.

Call it, "Operation Hoover."

We need a new breed of Untouchables with a fairly free hand.

Running boards and Thompson SMGs would be nice touches.

[stanne]

Are you trying to say Trump is not experienced in dealing with mob bosses?
