Fury has erupted from Chicago, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced yesterday that Chicago will likely be the next target for cracking down on crime, homelessness, and illegal immigration.
Trump called Chicago a 'mess' and stated the residents are 'screaming at us to come' to Chicago.
The Mayor of Chicago has said they did not receive any formal communication from the Trump administration so far. Mayor Brandon Johnson said 'we have greave concerns about the impact of any unlawful deployment of National Guard troops.'
Trump's son Trump Jr said: 'Maybe we should also roll out the tour to Portland, Seattle and the other craphole cities of the country.'
Ouch.

In a post on X entitled “Things People are Begging For,” Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, included cheaper groceries, no cuts to Medicaid or food aid for low-income families, and the release of federally held files on Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex trafficker and former Trump friend.
What they are not begging for, Pritzker continued, is “an authoritarian power grab of major cities.”
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, called Trump’s Washington, D.C. strategy “political theater.” He said Chicago is “a beautiful, vibrant city with people from all walks of life” and suggested pursuing “proven bipartisan solutions” toward further crime reduction.
“These unprecedented threats from President Trump are nothing more than a power grab to distract from his disastrous policies,” Durbin said in a statement.
Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Army National Guard combat veteran, criticized what she called Trump’s misuse of the military to “intimidate Americans in our own communities.”
