YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump has threatened to federalize National Guard members for service in Chicago, which proponents say would free up police to focus on serious crimes. On Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he doesn’t intend to “go to war” with these cities.

Eddie Johnson, retired superintendent for the Chicago Police Department, tells “Morning in America” that he believes Trump might be backing away from sending the troops to the city.
