President Donald Trump said on Monday that "many people" in Chicago are saying "maybe we'd like a dictator" as his administration reportedly plans to deploy National Guard troops to the city.
Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump said Chicago is a "killing field" at the moment. "They don't acknowledge it. They say 'freedom freedom,' 'he's a dictator.' A lot of people are saying 'maybe we'd like a dictator.' I don't like a dictator, I'm not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense, a smart person," Trump said.
