President Donald Trump sharply criticized Chicago’s leadership during a Cabinet meeting, claiming the city’s crime problems stem from an “incompetent governor” and a “very low IQ mayor.” Trump said federal forces could reduce crime levels “within 4–5 weeks” if allowed, arguing that political failures—not capability—are keeping violence high.
Trump also contrasted the city’s leadership with what he called “the highest recruitment numbers in history” for the military and National Guard, adding that Washington, D.C. is now “a very safe city” under current security measures.
