If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.

I don’t think any of this is seriously about a third term. Even though they’ll take it if they can. This is - from the cabinet side - about preparing cities as technocracies. I don’t even think Trump realizes that. He’s just along for the ride and the grift.
