Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, said Sunday that President Trump "essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation" referring to his recent remarks about Chicago. But she outlined that "we don't have any indications" that the administration is getting ready to send troops into the nation's third-largest city, despite signals in recent weeks that he is preparing to do so.
"This is not normal," Duckworth said of Mr. Trump's statements on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." "This is not acceptable behavior."
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Mr. Trump shared a screenshot that read "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," alongside an AI-generated image that appeared to be inspired by the movie "Apocalypse Now." On Friday, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, though a formal name change would have to go through Congress. He is expected to seek congressional approval.

She needs to go back home to Thailand. She’s not an American.
Evidently, she sees no difference between a war on criminals and a war on Chicago. Methinks she has an agenda and making the city of Chicago safer is not on that agenda.
Why is declaring war on Chicago a bad thing?
Chicago is now an alien violent enclave. The majority of its residents have no values in common with most Americans. Sending in troops won’t work. Best to stop the Federal funding that keeps the Democrats in power and just ensure safe passage for any decent, rational people trapped in that hellhole.
What’s a Duckworth?.........................
This dingbat misspelled/mis-stated the word CRIME.
I’m telling you, if the 2026 republicans don’t frame their opponents as “your PRO-CRIME candidate............
“This in not acceptable behavior”—as defined by the criminal element.
Obviously.
Along with Illan Omar.
About 2 cents.
The Dems are the MASTERS at confronting straw men. Take a statement, or even a humorous meme, twist the words and meaning just ever so slightly, then get greatly offended by the result.

Trump is trying to improve the lives of the law-abiding because it is the right thing to do, even if they’d never vote for him.
The National Guard should be deployed to the very worst neighborhood in Chicago, no where else. That place would become completely safe while the rest of Chicago gets worse as a lot of very bad people leave the now safe region of the city.
People all over the world would see how liberal American cities are hell holes on purpose.
She claims to be a Daughter of the Amercian Revolution. I remember when Mark Kirk rightly called her on her BS and was criticized.
There in Congress you can be as nuts as possible, doing whatever drugs you want until you're a twitching, blinking, mass of freakish gestures like Pelosi who in front of the nation stood up and rubbed her fists together after Joe talked about vets breathing in toxic smoke from burning pits, and how dare anyone question her.
"Oooo oo!!! The toxic smoke! The toxic smoke!!
Let Washington, DC get cleaned up and serve as an example to the other Blue cities that have become murder fueled hellholes.
So by just having a police force, a local government is declaring war on all of its residents. Got it.
