Trump said 11 people were murdered, 28 were shot and a hundred
were shot at in Chicago the previous weekend. He then referred
to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
“That’s what I call dangerous, and Pritzker’s going out and
saying, ‘We’ve got crime under control,’” Trump said.
The president said crime did go down after he put more FBI
agents in the city, but there is only so much they can do.
“What you really need is our big, strong soldiers to get them
into shape. We’re not letting Chicago fail,” Trump said.
The president said Washington D.C. is now safe after he sent in
the National Guard last month.
“We’re going to do the same job in Memphis, and we’re going to
Chicago,” Trump said.
The president referred to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson when he
said London Mayor Sadiq Khan is among the worst mayors in the
world.
“I think he’s the equivalent of the mayor of Chicago. I think
he’s done a terrible job. Crime in London is through the roof,”
Trump said.
Johnson has repeatedly criticized Trump since the president was
inaugurated in January.
The mayor did not mention Trump by name when he spoke Friday at
a groundbreaking in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.
“We will not allow any of the tyranny that is working to divide
and ultimately to conquer our communities prevail,” Johnson
said.
