Trump Wants to Deploy Troops to Protect a Shopping Center — The Problem Is, It Doesn’t Exist​

President Donald Trump recently threatened to deploy troops to Chicago after expressing outrage over a shopping center that does not exist. “The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy rate, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City,” the 79-year-old president raged in a Truth Social post just past midnight on Tuesday.

“CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!” he added.

However, there is no “Miracle Mile Shopping Center” in Illinois’ largest city. There are a few shopping centers with that name in Florida, California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. But it looks like those centers do not appear in the president’s plans to stage a military intervention in Chicago. Hence, he has dispatched personnel to other cities between 800 and 2,000 miles away.

There is a mall in downtown Chicago in the Miracle Mall area. Thanks to the far-left liberal mayor, crime has skyrocketed. I say it’s a good thing for president to step in when liberals have allowed thugs to ruin their city.

You people really are scrounging for crumbs. The libs have taken the side of thugs to the extent that decent people can’t go into the city, and your concern is that the president called the shopping mall in the Miracle Mile the Miracle Mile shopping mall?

Thank Gd we have someone pushing back against the thugs and lowlifes.

Of all the things to blast him over, you go with this?

 

[hjmick]

It's called "The Magnificent Mile" and vacancies are down (though the Trump property still struggles, since it opened...) and rents are up.

Dozy Don is just making shit up again...

I think it's emblematic of his presidency.

He goes out blathering without facts.

The current vacancy rate on Chicago's Magnificent Mile is approximately 25% to 29.3%, reflecting a modest recovery in the retail environment.

Current​

• As of October 2025, the vacancy rate on the Magnificent Mile has dipped to about 25%, down from 26% the previous year. This improvement is attributed to lower rents and the return of notable brands to the area.

That doesn't sound any worse than your average Suburban Strip mall.

How many shopping malls are being torn down now because of complete vacancy?

The problem with the Mag Mile is that the rents are outrageous, and it's not easy to get to. You pretty much have to make it an expedition. Nice for the Christmas season if you are there to see the pretty lights, but the rest of the time, not so much.

Shopping malls, for the most part, are a thing of the past. In the city, we used to have a nice one. It got overtaken by the thugs, and has like 6 or 7 stores open now.
They were going to build a new one a few years ago, but scraped that idea.
Online shopping is the new "mall"

Evidently, technically the name is The Magnificent Mile. I have never heard it called anything but The Miracle Mile. This is just too much trivia to get excited about.

There is a difference between downtown structures and suburban malls. The mall was something that has lasted in an era. The rise and fall of malls would be interesting. Downtown center city cores in cities is its lifeblood.

Trump needs to borrow IQ points to attain that level.

Can you imagine arguing with the Navy on how their ship operates?

Why do democrats have such adoration of criminals? The more bloody and violent, the greater the loyalty.

Says the girl in a topic about our deranged president sending in the Army to protect a mall.

 

[g5000]

Speaking of malls, the average commercial vacancy rate in America is about 20 percent.

Malls are about 10 percent vacant.

Malls are dying. The anchor stores are gone.

Amazon.com. Walmart.com. Aliexpress.com. Temu.com.

No matter how many army men Bone Spur sends, they will not be able to rescue the retail sector.

I'm thinking about buying a dying mall and turning it into the world's largest laser tag/paintball venue EVAH!

The crime is out of control in Chicago, thanks to the Dems’ siding with dangerous thugs instead of decent people. Glad we have a president who knows who the good people and who the bad people.

I know your MAGA media has been fearmongering the blazes out of you about the Negroes in Chicago who are nowhere near you.

But the fact is, violent crime has been drastically declining since 2024. With a Democrat Mayor! Without the Army! ZOMG!


Sorry about that!
