    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.

      It’s amazing how every person he talks to has the same idiotic speech pattern.

    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.

        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.

          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.
