President Donald Trump told the media that he might crack down on crime in Chicago and New York City after the success in Washington, DC.
Really, I really am honored that the National Guard has done such an incredible job working with the police, and we haven’t had to bring in the regular military, which we’re willing to do if we have to.And after we do this, we’ll go to another location, and we’ll make it safe also. We’re going to make our country very safe. We’re going to make our cities very, very safe.Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we’ll straighten that one out, probably next, that’ll be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough.And the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to come. They’re wearing red hats, just like this one, but they’re wearing red hats, African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, “Please, President Trump, come to Chicago. Please.” I did great with the black vote, as you know, and they want something happen.So I think Chicago will be next and then we’ll help with New York, and we’re going to help with and I think, really, I think a lot of and a lot of these people that are you see on television, they are including the people in this audience. They’ll say bad things about me, and then they’ll say, “Thank God he’s here” because half of them got mugged, and they don’t want to get mugged again.But they’re, you know, they work for, they work for stupid people that are the radical left, and they’re made to do things and say things that they don’t want to be saying.But the people right here are all happy because you’re not going to be mugged in Washington DC anymore.
It’s hard to gauge how DC residents feel about Trump’s actions in the city. The mainstream media only interviews people who hate it. The right-wing media only interview people who love it.

Attorney General Pam Bondi recently said that authorities have made 630 arrests since the takeover.
Let’s look at Chicago homicide stats with a grain of salt. We all know that departments fudge these numbers to look good.
Chicago homicides have gone down by 33% through the first half of 2025.
The police department reported 254 homicides as of August 16.
However, the medical examiner’s office said it has “323 death cases from this year that were still ‘pending,’ meaning a manner of death had not been determined.”
So while Mayor Brandon Johnson boasts that the city might see fewer than 500 homicides in 2025…it’s unlikely to happen.
I mean, 2024 was the 13th consecutive year Chicago received the title of the Nation’s Homicide Capital.
I’m trying to find other crime stats. A review of May shows that crime, such as burglary, motor theft, and hijackings, has decreased.
But as Chicago’s numbers show a drop, they’re nothing compared to those around the country.
