Aug. 22 President Donald Trump said Friday that his next targets for crime crackdowns would be Chicago and New York.
« After we do this, we’ll go to another location, and we’ll make it safe also », Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
« We’re going to make our cities very, very safe », he added. « Chicago’s a mess. You have an incompetent mayor [Brandon Johnson]. Grossly incompetent and we’ll straighten that one out probably next. That will be our next one after this. And it won’t even be tough. »
Trump said there were « African American ladies, beautiful ladies », urging him to intervene in Chicago, a city that has long struggled with gun violence. He indicated his administration would focus next on Chicago and then others, such as New York City.
