YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump on Saturday morning appeared to threaten the City of Chicago with deportations on a post on Truth Social in which he used an AI-generated parody of a war movie.
"Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR."
He then included an AI-generated image of him dressed in a uniform labeled "US ARMY" much like the character played by Robert Duvall in the 1979 movie "Apocalypse Now," a fictional story about soldiers in the Vietnam War. In the image, the words "Chipocalypse Now" are also seen in the font used on the "Apocalypse Now" movie poster.
The president also mentioned the Department of War, which he recently ordered renamed from the Department of Defense.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) decried the post on Saturday during remarks before a parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.
"This tweet this morning was disgusting, to suggest that the troops are coming into Chicago or that the Department of War is going to be engaged is an embarrassment."
Gov. JB Pritzker also criticized the post on X:
"The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator."
