Donald Trump (Reuters)
Donald Trump on Saturday attacked a Democratic governor and a Democratic mayor, as a pretense to send federal troops to Chicago.
Trump over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to make some claims for which he didn't provide direct evidence.
"Massive crime and rioting in the Chicago Loop area. Multiple Police Officers attacked and badly injured," the president claimed Saturday. "300 people rioting, 6 victims shot, one critical and one DEAD."
He continues:
"In the meantime, Governor Pritzker and the Low IQ Mayor of Chicago are refusing Federal Government help for a situation that could be quickly remedied. The people are chanting, BRING IN TRUMP!!!"
