Trump Ramps Up Threats To Send Troops To Chicago After Violent Labor Day Weekend

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : " Besides the fact that Trump is, as usual, lying about crime being on the rise, dismissing crime data that indicates the opposite is true, he's also, once again, planning to deploy troops into cities without even bothering to consult the city's leaders, which Pritzker pointed out in a statement of his own at a press conference last week.
30% : "At least 54 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, [eight] people were killed," Trump wrote Tuesday on his social media platform Truth Social.
29% : So, Chicago had a violent weekend, including several mass shootings that reportedly occurred, but that doesn't change the fact that violent crime is down in Chicago by 21.6 percent, according to new year-to-date crime statistics released by Mayor Brandon Johnson, who, along with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, has said repeatedly that the city neither wants nor needs Trump to weaponize the National Guard against it under the guise of cracking down on crime, as the president has also threatened to do in Baltimore, NYC, San Francisco and other democratic cities where crime is on the decline.
26% : (Trump pulled that line about the "last two weekends" being "similar" completely out of his rust-tinted hind parts while presenting no statistical evidence that it's true.)
24% : (And Trump made those threats while all but admitting he's a wannabe dictator.)
18% : It's almost as if nobody wants Trump to behave like a dictator except Trump, his administration and millions of Republicans who once claimed they were against tyrannical governments.
16% : Trump, as usual, reported inaccurate numbers -- confusing the number of shootings with the number of shooting victims, and still being off by two -- and just plain lied about the present state of general crime in the city.
