Trump hints Chicago could be the next city to see a federal crackdown on crime

President Donald Trump seemed to hint at the possibility of taking his D.C. crime crackdown to Chicago.

“After we do this will go to another location, and we’ll make it safe, also. We’re going to make our country very safe,” he said when speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday. “We’re going to make our cities very, very safe. Chicago’s a mess.”

Trump called Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson “grossly incompetent” and said his administration would handle the windy city next. He also said the people of Chicago were “screaming” for federal assistance in cutting down the crime rate.

“We’ll straighten that one out probably next,” he added. “That’ll be our next one after this and it won’t even be tough.”
