Amid a violent weekend in Chicago that left six dead and 27 injured, former President Donald Trump announced plans for a new crime-fighting bill aimed at addressing what he calls the city’s rampant crime issues. Trump criticized local authorities, particularly Governor J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson, claiming they have failed to maintain public safety.
“A very DEADLY weekend in Chicago... Governor Pritzker claims that crime is under control, although in reality, it is the opposite,” Trump stated during a press conference. He urged local leaders to seek his assistance, declaring, “Let’s make Chicago great again!”
Trump revealed that he is collaborating with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Whip John Thune on a comprehensive crime-fighting bill, asserting that such legislation is urgently needed across the nation. This announcement follows a series of violent incidents in the city, highlighting ongoing concerns about public safety in urban areas.
As Trump pushes for legislative action, discussions around crime and law enforcement continue to gain traction in political circles. The proposed bill could reshape how local and federal authorities respond to crime, reflecting a shift in priorities for the Republican Party.
