Trump threatens to put ‘regular military’ in Chicago to ‘straighten it out’ — and says New York City is after that

[StatesRightsForever]

Democrats and their woke policies of supporting crime and illegal aliens and DEI are destroying america. Trump has a duty to make things right.

aug 22 2025 President Donald Trump threatened to send active-duty military personnel into America’s third-largest city to quell what he described as out-of-control crime at the hands of a liberal mayor and Democratic-run city and state governments.

Speaking in the Oval Office Friday to reporters, Trump was boasting of positive crime numbers in the District of Columbia since he seized control of the capital’s police department earlier this month.

“We're going to make our cities very, very safe. Chicago is 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,” Trump said.
The president then claimed that the Windy City’s Black population, including “African American ladies, beautiful ladies,” were “screaming” for him to “please” come to Chicago.

“So I think Chicago will be our next and then we'll help with New York,” he said.

Is Trump referring to those No Gos in DC?

Before you know it, Trump will conquer the US and will be El Presidente fer life, oh boy.

 

[Woodznutz]

Someone's gotta do it.

Before you know it, Trump will conquer the US and will be El Presidente fer life, oh boy.

If he says he wants to be president for life, Trump will have my full support.

The sad part is how many Americans would toss aside the Constitution for the most obvious con man the country has ever seen.

They've really just given up.

And virtually lay down and let him do it.

Your view of Trump is basically how I view Obama.

That being said, Trump won't be in office beyond this term. He'll be lucky if he makes it through this one.

 

[Mac1958]

And virtually lay down and let him do it.

And the world has seen it before.

Now we know the answer to the question, "how could they let this happen?"

 

[Monoculturalist]

The left isn't exactly adherent to the Constitution in general.

I see, two wrongs do make a right, according to yous.

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 generally prohibits the use of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force to execute domestic civilian laws, unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress. While a significant safeguard for civil liberties, the law has numerous exceptions and has been the subject of debate regarding its effectiveness in limiting military involvement in law enforcement.

Purpose and History

• Origin:
  The Act was enacted after the Civil War to prevent the military from being used to suppress lawlessness in the Southern states and to reinforce civilian control over law enforcement.
  
  • Definition:
    A "posse comitatus" refers to a group of people mobilized by a sheriff to enforce the law, and the Act prevents the use of federal military forces in this capacity.
    

Scope of the Act

• • Covered Branches:
    The Act originally applied to the Army but was expanded by amendments to also include the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force.
    
  • Key Prohibition:
    It prohibits federal armed forces from performing tasks typically assigned to civilian law enforcement, such as making arrests, conducting searches, or seizing evidence.
    

Exceptions and Loopholes

• • Congressional Authorization:
    .
    Congress can explicitly authorize the use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
    
  • Specific Legislation:
    .
    There are existing laws that provide for military assistance in specific circumstances, such as counter-narcotics operations or responses to chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction emergencies.
    
  • The Insurrection Act:
    .
    This separate act allows the President to deploy the military to respond to insurrections or other serious emergencies when authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

As long as he keeps accomplishing MAGA at lightning speed.

Hell, keep him in office after he dies, that should be better.

Yep. I don't give a shit if he is in office for life. He is fixing the mess which piled on for years and decades under no leadership leading Democrats. I don't give a damn if Trump cleans up LA . I don't give a damn about media screaming LA historical minority parts of the city, meaning full of illegal aliens, are hiding because of ICE onslaught against the city and businesses are closing. Perhaps when citizens fell it's safe to walk the streets again, businesses will pick up.

Why is the Left complaining so hard? Because they know, Trump is going to try and KICK illegals from the census, and that would cost the QUACKS 30 to 40 seats in the HOUSE!

Listen to their argument---------->we have been in control of these Cities for 30, 40, or 50 years, and they have gotten worse, and worse if you look at a sliding scale. WE NEED MORE TIME to fix what the GOP screwed up 50 YEARS ago.....it is all their fault don't ya know, and if you don't give it to us, it is RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, and a threat to DEMOCRACY-)

And, as far as you pointing to Adam Shifty Schiff, Fang-Fangs lover, Our homey Comey, Pretend Walter Brennan, and Da Dapper Clapper who are now basically busted..............ignore that stuff, and concentrate on us..........your CHARMING and DELIGHTFUL SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTS!

FACT-----------> We always laughed when they said they had Trump; but trust me---------->Bondi, Patel, and Bongino have them, and they want indictments............LEFTY LOONS, you are going to get them, and like it or not, just in time for the midterms!

Cya DNC lovers, and I wouldn't want to be ya!

Trump is the president with no war to fight so he just sends the troops into the cities. He is following his idol Putin as a military dictator.
