CHICAGO (WGN) – Just one day ago, President Donald Trump declared there’d be a surge in federal troops in Chicago, but on Wednesday evening, he walked that back.

“I want to go into Chicago and we have this incompetent governor that doesn’t want us,” Trump said. “So we’re making the determination now. Do we go to Chicago or do we go to a place like New Orleans where we have a great governor who wants us to come in?”


Dude straight p*ssy, any time he gets real pushback he folds up.
No I been saying this on other threads but I think he was going to announce he was going to do it Tuesday and the Judge said that is illegal and low-key it really is so he backed down. That was why the press conference was a bunch of rambling and that was when he also mentioned NO. He wants to use the police to harass black people and Latinos but he can't do it anymore if the state’s governor says no or in DC.

A lot of it is also bluster. Chicago is much larger than DC to cover. I also question if they really wanted to go into the places where crime is worse. Setting up troops on the Million Dollar mile ain’t great optics and there aren’t as many federal buildings to “protect”.

Nah man they was preparing for a siege. Pritzker kept giving up dates about the build up abs they was going to go down there and harass and arrest as many people as they could. That Judge ruling honestly fukked their shyt up.

Again, when you have a blue state they can make it very difficult for him to do what he wants.

Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass made it extremely difficult and put in a ton of legal hoops when he tried getting the Marines/National Guard to go in on Los Angeles. Additionally talked about redrawing State Lines.

The same headaches are going to happen in Illinois so Trump is backing off.

Those Red States are going to be the ones that get ransacked. The Governors there are going to let him clean up.
