President Trump on Friday signaled that he is not stopping his crackdown on crime in Washington, DC, and told reporters that he plans to clean up Chicago, San Francisco, and potentially more Democratic cities across the country.
President Trump has declared a “public safety emergency” in the nation’s capital, citing high crime and unsafe streets, and he federalized the DC police force last week. He further authorized the use of National Guard troops and deployed federal agents across the city to tackle the rampant crime, homelessness, and illegal immigration crises.
Hundreds of criminals have been removed from the streets, and crime has significantly reduced in the city.
Law-abiding citizens can now walk around freely without fear of being attacked, robbed, or harassed by drugged-out bums.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump fired off a warning shot to Mayor Muriel Bowser during his Oval Office press conference on Friday, apparently threatening her removal.
“Mayor Bowser better get her act straight, or she won’t be mayor very long because we’re taking over with the federal government, running it like it’s supposed to be run,” Trump said.

He also put other Democratic leaders in major cities, namely Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, on notice that he is coming to their town next.
“Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we’ll straighten that one out probably next,” the President told reporters in the Oval Office. “That’ll be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough.”
He continued, “I think Chicago will be our next, and then we’ll help with New York.”

Trump: This will be one of the safest places anywhere on Earth. So, you know, I really, I really am honored that the National Guard has done such an incredible job working with the police, and we haven’t had to bring in the regular military, which we’re willing to do if we have to. And after we do this, we’ll go to another location, and we’ll make it safe also. We’re going to make our country very safe. We’re going to make our cities very, very safe. Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we’ll straighten that one out probably next. That’ll be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough. And the people in Chicago, Mr. Vice President, are screaming for us to come. They’re wearing red hats just like this one, but they’re wearing red hats.
African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please. I did great with the black vote, as you know, and they want something to happen. So, I think Chicago will be our next, and then we’ll help with New York, and we’re going to help with— and I think, really, I think a lot of these people that you see on television, they are— including the people in this audience, they’ll say bad things about me, and then they’ll say, “thank God he’s here” because half of them got mugged, and they don’t want to get mugged again. But they’re, you know, they work for— they work for stupid people that are radical left, and they’re made to do things and say things that they don’t want to be saying. But the people right here are all happy because you’re not going to be mugged in Washington, DC anymore.
When the President was asked to clarify these remarks and whether he is already taking steps to fix Chicago or other cities, he told reporters that he hasn’t spoken to “incompetent” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, but “when we’re ready, we’ll go in and we’ll straighten out Chicago.”
He further stated that he’s going to clean up San Francisco, where he owns a share of the 52-story Bank of America Building at 555 California Street, invoking the memory of Bob Tish, the late billionaire and owner of the New York Giants and Loews Corporation. “He said, Chicago and San Francisco are the two greatest cities of the world,” and “we’ll clean that one up too,” Trump told reporters.
Trump also said that some Democratic leaders have called him and asked him to help them end the crime crises in their cities. When asked who these leaders were, Trump responded, “I’m not going to say because I don’t want them to lose their elections.”
WATCH:
You said Chicago might be next. Have there been concrete steps that the administration is taking to do that and what other cities?
I haven’t spoken to him. He’s grossly incompetent. I haven’t spoken to the mayor, no. When we’re ready, we’ll go in and we’ll straighten out Chicago, just like we did DC. Chicago is very dangerous. Great place, 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. Chicago was our greatest city, actually. Bob Tish, a great friend of mine, passed away, used to own the Giants, very successful, Loews. He said, Chicago— I think they had their main office in Chicago. He said, Chicago and San Francisco are the two greatest cities of the world.
Now, you look at what the Democrats have done to San Francisco. They’ve destroyed it. I own a big chunk of the Bank of America building in San Francisco, and you know, it’s just different. We could clean that up too. We’ll clean that one up too. No, if we— if everything works out, and we’ve already had calls from other cities, quiet calls, calls from Democrats: we’d love you to come here because they’ve lost control of themselves… I’m not going to say because I don’t want them to lose their elections, but we’ve had calls from Democrats and calls from people, generally: “We’d love you to come here” because we’ll straighten out the problem.
