On Friday, the president suggested that the crime crackdown was requested by “the people in Chicago,” who he insisted “are screaming for us to come.”
Trump then claimed these citizens of Chicago who are clamoring for military intervention in their city “are wearing red hats, just like this one. But they are wearing red hats. African American ladies, beautiful ladies are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please.’”
Dementia Donnie at it again.
ladies are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please.’”
It’s amazing how every person he talks to has the same idiotic speech pattern.
I will never cease hurting my brain that people listen to him speak and don’t instantly realize everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie even if it’s factual
I say it all the time
The idiot is not the person uttering nonsense
The idiots are the crowd of people that keep listening to it all and accepting it as normal.
And don’t forget the corporate media that have spent a decade normalising this shit.
Where are those “well regulated militias” when you need them?
Busy telling people who mix up clips and magazines that their opinions on gun control are invalid.
Invading our capital. The state’s national guards are the militias.
No, they aren’t. They are a branch of the Federal military. Each State government is supposed to maintain its own “well regulated militia”, in case of Federal overreach. That’s what the 2nd amendment calls for…and it’s clearly needed now.
They are a branch of the Federal military
No they aren’t. You’re thinking of the Reserves. The national guard can be activated by the federal government, but they are run by the state. Hell even the oath you take is to the governor of the state instead of the president.
If they can be “federalized” by the President…then they do not truly serve the State. He can simply overrule that authority during an emergency. And it’s pretty obvious at this point, he is perfectly willing to create an emergency in order to do just that.
State militias are something else. They serve the State, alone.

Let’s make Daley Plaza the new Dealey Plaza.
There’s a handful of black folks in Chicago that comprise a group called “Chicago Flips Red”, who have showed up to events promoting MAGA and decrying the Democratic Machine politics in the city. They are a tiny contingent that is not reflective of the sentiment of the vast majority, but I’m sure Trump will trot them out to exalt him.
