"Though he initially launched into a screed decrying crime in the city, he quickly confirmed his plans. We're going in. I didn't say when, but we're going in, Trump said. If the governor of Illinois would call me up. I would love to do it. Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have the right to do it because I have an obligation to protect this country."
"Instead, he defended his decision to use soldiers for his crime crackdown, arguing it was necessary to deal with some suspects. Frankly, they were born to be criminals, Trump said. And they're tough and mean, and they'll cut your throat, and they won't even think about it the next day. They won't even remember that they did it. And we're not going to have those people."
"Amid rumours about his health, Trump has announced he will widen his troop deployment and move Space Command to Alabama. United States President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to sending the National Guard to Chicago, Illinois, as he continues to portray Democrat-run cities as overrun by crime. Tuesday's remarks were some of Trump's most direct statements on the subject so far."
President Trump announced an expansion of troop deployments and the relocation of US Space Command headquarters to Alabama. He reaffirmed intention to send the National Guard to Chicago, framing Democrat-run cities as overrun by crime. Asked in the Oval Office about Chicago, he said, "We're going in," and asserted authority and obligation to protect the country even without state approval. A federal court ruled a prior troop deployment to Los Angeles illegal, but he defended using soldiers for crime crackdowns and described some suspects as inherently criminal, citing the Washington, DC, deployment as a template.
