Trump’s National Guard Push in D.C. Goes Viral | Chicago & Baltimore Next?

President Donald Trump deployed over 800 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., as part of a federal takeover of the city’s police to address what he called a “crime emergency,” a move that saw troops armed by August 24. Trump has also WARNED to extend National Guard deployments to Chicago, prompting pushback from mayors Brandon Johnson and Brandon Scott, who call it “unconstitutional” and a “political stunt,” per NPR and CNN. In an exclusive interview, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich supports Trump’s plan for Chicago, arguing it could curb the city’s 350 homicides in 2025, aligning with ALOT residents. Though critics like Governor JB Pritzker denounce it as an “abuse of power.” The viral story, amplified by X posts and Trump’s August 21 patrol with D.C. officers, underscores tensions over federal authority versus local control. Regardless which side you are on, these cities clearly need help.
