President Donald Trump said Chicago is the next city he’s targeting to “straighten out” after he’s done with the District of Columbia.
“When we’re ready, we’ll go in and we’ll straighten out Chicago, just like we did D.C. Chicago’s very dangerous,” Trump told reporters Friday afternoon. “I built great stuff there. I have the most beautiful building in Chicago, I think. But I hate to see what’s happened to Chicago.”
Trump has long criticized Washington, alleging high crime rates and also expressing unhappiness with the capital’s homeless population. Earlier this month, he deployed the National Guard and federalized Washington’s police force.
