Summary
Trump’s back with a fiery new attack on Chicago’s crime crisis, directly challenging Governor Pritzker and demanding federal intervention — claiming he could restore safety in just one month, citing past D.C. successes. The push comes amid a violent Father’s Day weekend, including a deadly Roseland mass shooting, as Mayor Johnson vows community support. This isn’t the first time Trump and Pritzker have clashed — last year’s federal troop threat was blocked by a judge, but Trump warns troops may return if crime escalates. Pritzker, meanwhile, insists Chicago’s crime stats show progress and rejects federal involvement as an “invasion,” while acknowledging the city remains the nation’s deadliest for homicides — though some argue per-capita rates paint a less dire picture. No arrests yet in the Roseland shooting. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
