President Trump on Monday bashed Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) as “incompetent” amid threats from Trump to send National Guard troops into the Illinois city.
“The incompetent Mayor of Chicago just stated that, in DC, where crime has been brought down to almost nothing, there have been no murders in 9 days, something which hasn’t happened in years, and people are safe again, only nine people have been arrested,” Trump said on Truth Social. “That is wrong, hundreds of criminals have been held, captured, and arrested, and their guns have been taken away. DC IS SAFE AND BOOMING!!!”
As of Sunday, there have been over 910 total arrests in Washington, D.C., and 101 firearms have been seized since federal law enforcement was sent into the nation’s capital on Aug. 7, according to the White House. On Saturday night alone, there were a total of 93 arrests and six illegal firearms seized, the White House said.

Just trying to be impartial.
Impartial? Not to worry. They get it. Ask the Ayatollas.
Is this the same Brandon who said that Trump is afraid of high-intellectual black men?
It is said, judge a tree by its fruit.
I know the remaining tatters of the Race Card will be played here, but so what? This has nothing to do with race, and all to do with competence and upholding the law for all citizens, not just street thugs and grifters.
I know a dichotomy(getting rid of illegal guns), but what will the people on the banglist say?
Just trying to be impartial.
There were proposals at one time to double the sentence if a gun was used in the crime.
Above link....Biden sent a strike force to Chicago to deal with crime. Please read...
Sending National Guard to Chicago would be almost exclusively to the South Side - everything West of Hyde Park / Dan Ryan Expressway to Midway Airport
“This has nothing to do with race, and all to do with competence and upholding the law for all citizens”
Unfortunately there’s a strong correlation between the two.

“...As of 0800 hours on Sunday, HeyJackass.com had one of those rare occurrences up on their website:
8:00a Demonized Tally: 0 killed, 19 wounded
It was looking like even the mere threat of deploying National Guard and military troops to Chicago was enough to keep criminals from actually accomplishing a murder all weekend...”
Democrats have had over 60 years to clean up their crime ridden hellholes communities in Chicago. And they've done NOTHING.
Now that Trump wants to make these neighborhoods safe for the people who live there - they scream bloody murder.
Gimme a break.
I heard that the voters give him a very small amount of approval. Like around 6-7%
I hope Trump doesn’t do this. DC is one thing, but this is state jurisdiction.
Agreed. Be careful what you wish for.
The state is run by a nitwit, it is all a Chicago thing, the governor is a stooge.
“The incompetent Mayor of Chicago just stated…”
What did he state.
Good post!
It’s obvious that hypocritical, two-faced demoncrats will vehemently object to anything Trump and his administration do because they are unhinged, full of hate and criminally insane due to TDS and don’t give a damn about US citizens.
