Trump blasts Pritzker over Chicago murder rate

resident Donald Trump on Thursday called out Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) over Chicago's murder rate, saying, "[p]eople are desperate for me to stop the crime." "Governor Pritzker had 6 murders in Chicago this weekend. 20 people were shot. But he doesn't want to ask me for help. Can this be possible?" Trump posted on Truth Social. "The people are desperate for me to STOP THE CRIME, something the Democrats aren't capable of doing. STAY TUNED!!!" Trump's comments come more than two weeks after he deployed the National Guard and federal agencies to assist the Metropolitan Police Department with cracking down on crime in Washington, D.C.

Also from the article:

Crime in the capital has decreased, with Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) saying Wednesday that "the difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings."

Military occupations work just as well at reducing crime as Covid does!

At least in the short term.

What's ironic about it is that Trump doesn't care about the murders. He only cares about how it's a tool to make the democratic party look ineffective.

The democratic party needs to fight back better on this issue. We all see the per capita murder rate in some red state rural areas but Trump controls the high ground by pointing to Chicago all the time as well as a few other cities.

That's what all of this is about. Making the democratic party look soft and ineffective on crime.

It sure as hell isn't about cleaning up crime.

President Dummkopf Trumpf on Thursday called out Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) over Chicago's murder rate, saying, "people are desperate for me to stop the crime."

Americans in general are desperate for any President to stop uncontrolled gun violence plaguing the US. A reported asked your press officer about that today. Her response: "Humble-mumble-chumble."

Most of you want something done about crime until President does something about it. It's not a good look.

Do shreveport next, FTA: Shreveport " the most populous city in the northwest Louisiana district that Johnson has represented since 2017 " has a higher crime rate than D.C. and outpaces the state of Louisiana as a whole, according to FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics. CrimeRate, an independent analysis of crime statistics, deems Shreveport's violent crime as being "higher versus other cities of the same size."

Oh please there's only 170,000 people in Shreveport. You ever drive through it, or do you just not know anything?

#16 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-08-29 08:33 PM

So those 170K don't matter in your world? They should just be content with having a higher crime rate than D.C. and be satisfied with their ------ lot?

Pritzker should blast Trump for being a pedophile.

Hey, ------.

I addressed this last time you posted it and you ran away.

$1 million taxpayer dollars a day to prevent car jacking is ------- ------ed.

You are ------- ------ed.

$36 million tax payer dollars to reduce carjacking in DC by 87%, and somehow this is being spun as a positive?

Trump is feeding you a shht sandwich and you're raving about how wonderful the bread is.

"The 20-day period covered was from August 7 to August 27, 2025 ... During this period, there were four carjackings reported in D.C., compared to 31 during the same 20-day period in 2024."

$20 mullion taxpayer dollars spent to prevent 27 potential car jackers.

Only absolute Deplorable Trumping MAGAts would spin that as a positive.

Because they need anything possible to celebrate.

Trump is a pedophile and his every action is destroying America and facilitating fascism.
