President Donald Trump on Tuesday seized on a series of holiday weekend homicides to once again threaten sending in the National Guard and federal law enforcement as he incorrectly dubbed Chicago “the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far” in an early morning social media post.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, the president noted that “at least 54 people” were injured by gunfire in America’s third-largest city with eight dying as a result. Local reports cite seven fatalities among the 54 shot over the holiday weekend.
