President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday with a pointed message aimed at Chicago, posting, “I love the smell of deportations in the morning. Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.”
This declaration came amid escalating preparations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the city, which Trump has dubbed the “Chipocalypse.” Just days earlier, he had rebranded the Pentagon as the Department of War, signaling a no-nonsense approach to national security and law enforcement challenges.
The post underscores Trump’s determination to tackle what he sees as rampant issues in Democrat-run urban centers. Two weeks prior, during an Oval Office event tied to the World Cup, Trump laid out his vision for Chicago, stating, “When we’re ready, we’ll go in and we’ll straighten out Chicago, just like we did DC.”
He painted a vivid picture of the city’s struggles, calling it “a mess” under an “incompetent mayor” and emphasizing grassroots pleas for intervention.
“And the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to go. They’re wearing red hats, just like this one. But they’re wearing red hats,” he told Vice President JD Vance.
Trump went further, highlighting specific demographics eager for change: “African-American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying: ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago.’”
Me too! Now let’s get rid of all the Haitians that are destroying Salisbury!!! 🙂
