Trump while speaking in front of military officials in Quantico, Virginia stated, “It seems like cities run by radical left Democrats. what they have done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, is very unsafe.”
He added, “That’s a war too. It’s a war from within.”

Per The Hill:
President Trump told a gathering of military leaders Tuesday they should use American cities as “training grounds” and described a federal crackdown on crime in major cities as necessary due to “a war from within.”
Trump addressed dozens of top generals and admirals in Quantico, Va., where he said defending the homeland was the military’s “most important priority.” He signaled the leaders in the room could be tasked with aiding in federal interventions in Democratic-led cities such as Chicago and New York City.
“They’re very unsafe places, and we’re going to straighten them out one by one,” Trump said. “And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war, too. It’s a war from within.”
“I told [Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth], we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military — National Guard, but our military, because we’re going into Chicago very soon,” Trump added. “That’s a big city with an incompetent governor.”
Trump added the rampant lawlessness in Democrat run cities are “No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms.
On Monday the Democrat Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker announced the Illinois National Guard received a notice that President Trump intends to deploy 100 troops to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
