On Monday, President Donald Trump took questions from reporters, where he ramped up his threats to send the National Guard to cities including Chicago and Baltimore after having done so in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.
Over the weekend, he threatened to cut off funding for the rebuilding of the Key Bridge if Maryland’s Democratic Gov. Wes Moore did not allow the National Guard into Charm City. Trump said that “African-American ladies ... beautiful ladies” encouraged him to send the guard into Chicago.
