Public opinion on Trump's military intervention plan is highly polarized. A significant number of comments express strong negative sentiments about the potential for authoritarianism, federal overreach, and the undermining of civil liberties, while a smaller faction voices cautious support, citing safety concerns in crime-ridden areas. The overwhelming response indicates distrust towards Trump's motives and leadership, with fears of history repeating itself from authoritarian regimes.

Donald Trump

Federal Government

Local Governments

He's declaring war, on the country. 

We're at war, actual war. He's deploying a military force on our shores. So the question is; are our military leaders really loyal to the constitution and the nation itself; or to him, the pedophiliac president.

What the fuck is that hat... He is literally the sitting president of the United States and wearing that... What a joke.


And I know there is a million other things, but come on, how can anyone, even his supporters look at him and say "yup, that's my guy"

New Yorkers should turn New York into Fallujah for the US military if they back this

Could be the first president to have a massive heart attack on live TV

ndrake1581

Fun fact - D.C. crime stats for 2024 were 30% lower than the 2023 stats he and his circus curated and released weeks ago. All this is 100% deflection and distraction from releasing the Epstein files.


Edit to correct auto correct.

Nobody is begging this lying prick for anything except for him to have a heart attack.

I think he is seriously overestimating his popularity with the black community or any community in Chicago outside of a few small pockets. [Chicago Presidential Election Results](https://blockclubchicago.org/2024/11/06/heres-how-your-neighborhood-voted-in-the-2024-presidential-election-map/)

Come to Detroit, bitch. 

Shit, never mind, theres enough Detroit transplants in Chicago that we'll just come to you and help our Chi-town brothers and sisters out.

IWouldntIn1981

Red States have higher crime rate so why don't you deploy the troops three. I forgot it's never about crime.

"African American ladies, beautiful ladies, they're saying please, President trump come to Chicago"

huh.

Is he the first president to wear shitty hats while addressing the nation? Is that the new classy?

IronheddAxioma

If you don't know the handmaid's tale, it's happening. Start with the cities, control those and you control the state. Lord knows anything but cities is usually a "red" area on voting maps.

Nir117vash

He promised again and again during the campaign that he was going to deploy the US military in cities across the country and people voted for him anyway. Any idea if this is Constitutional? Anyone think Trump cares? What exactly would be the purpose of the US military taking over US cities? Where are the Republican members of Congress on this folks?

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation….

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

abland1988

Every day I ask the question, “wtf does this man have on all these functional adults that makes them so willing to do his bidding”? 

The man is literally the dumbest pos president I’ve ever seen and these folks are on their knees doing whatever his empty head says. I just …JFC. 

Fuck this timeline, man.

Better start really looking at late 1930s Germany and fully ring the alarm bells.

Chicago hates him. We chased him away from his own rally in 2016.

jerklessons

How is this our reality… our country is led by a facist pedo narcissist who’s already been fucking impeached and is a felon, but wait, not only that! he’s resetting this country to what the people who feed him money believe in as his agenda, *illegally*…spewing nothing but hate speech, dividing people, dumbing down the masses who fall for his shit, ripping innocent people from their families and daily lives and illegally taking down anyone or anything that doesn’t have its lips locked on his sad dick at all times- you let those lips loose to take a breather and you’re no good to him anymore.

Open_Mathematician99

Why in the fuck is there FIFA cup next to him?  The US has never won it first of all.  Just like him stealing the Club World Cup Metal and actual cup. This man is a kleptomaniac.

He's declaring war on US citizens. That's messed up, let alone unconstitutional.

He’s wearing hats full time now because his hair has fallen out finally due to him being on his deathbed. (One could only help.)

Chicago, NYC, LA, Oakland aren't even on the list of the 30 most dangerous cities in the United States!  18 of the most dangerous cities are in red states, I wonder when or even if  he will even send the troops into those hell holes?

Radical right is out of control, every single person in this nation should be concerned as this administration does not plan on ending in 2028 no matter how the election goes. It is sick

There will never be any Nuremberg trials. We couldn’t even get him removed from office after being impeached twice. Thanks to republicans.

Could you fucking imagine if a Democrat president did this?

This is the sort of action the 2nd Amendment is truly for.

Trying start a war to cancel out elections so he can continue his cosplaying. He told on himself when a real president Zelensky was sitting in white house.

No one in Chicago wants this.

If he does send troops, he'll probably send them to the Gold Coast.

NYC will be a very different area to patrol given its size and large population compared to DC.

Of course no red state cities that have some of the highest homicide rates tho…

Isurewouldliketo

This aging hippie (looking at you, Stephen Miller) will be in the streets when troops come to Chicago.  I’m willing to bet that our governor has the lawsuit ready to file the minute the deployment order gets signed.

cateri44

I think it's both a distraction from Epstein and that it's possible they're trying to do gain access to sensitive systems under the cloak of this charade.

Trump is a fascist and the law needs to reign him in.

bcbamom

What a weak excuse for a leader we have. Elected. Pathetic. Useless. Has he mentioned the price of eggs lately?  No. It’s all about payback for anyone who spoke against him in any way. Release the Epstein files so the world can know, that chump is a pedophile.

So I live in a blue State and never have been felt threatened at all and I ride public transportation daily. Has there been a situation or 2,sure. Fuck him and his bullshit!

Lessons from the Putin Russian playbook. Soon we will be like Ukraine with all of our major cities occupied.

South Korea had a solution for this, and both sides stood up for their nation. We have a bunch of servile spinless cowards who bow to this pedo.

MouseShadow2ndMoon

So is he doing this to distract from accusations that the US government supports and protects child sex trafficking and child sex traffickers. Trump sides with Putin. Putin is stealing children from Ukraine. Trump has also taken many, many immigrant children away from their families. He is a known rapist that considers people as objects and possessions. Wake up!

Sooo when Gavin newsom gets elected in 28, I’m sure every conservative will be totally fine with him sending in marines to red states to “clean up” right? Every liberal in this country needs to arm themselves because they are coming for us.

 But not Memphis, who has the highest crime rate.🤔

and SCOTUS says..... go for it we don't give shit just don't make us be ethical.

And we are all stupid enough to think that the military is the best way to police’s city?  Why not go to some of those high crime red states like Louisiana and Missouri.
