TRUMP'S MESSAGE: "I WILL REDUCE CRIME RATES"
U.S. President Donald Trump, in a post on his account on the U.S.-based Truth Social social media platform, brought up the issue of violence and crime rates in Chicago once again. Emphasizing that he would reduce crime rates in this city just like in the capital Washington, Trump stated, "Chicago is by far the worst and most dangerous city in the world."
Trump targeted Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, arguing that the governor should ask for his help, citing the recent attacks as justification.
Since taking office, Trump has accused the local government of the capital Washington of failing to combat crime and homelessness. He has frequently stated that crime rates have increased in the capital and that the city needs to become a safe, clean, and livable place, also arguing that the city government should be taken over by the federal government.
During a press conference on August 11, Trump announced that they had taken a series of new measures to ensure safety in the capital, reduce crime rates, and clear the city of homeless individuals, also indicating that they were preparing a similar "crime-fighting" initiative in Chicago and New York.
