The Republican’s latest online rant about an “out of control, crime-ridden” city comes as Democratic state leaders -- including Maryland Governor Wes Moore -- line up to berate Trump on a high-profile political stage.
The Guard began carrying weapons in Washington on Sunday, the military said. Previously, their weapons were available if needed but kept in the armory.
And US media is reporting that the Trump administration also is planning an unprecedented deployment of thousands of National Guard personnel to Chicago, the country's third-largest city, prompting vocal pushback from Democrats there.
Trump’s feud with Moore appeared to escalate dramatically this week, with the governor assailing Trump’s provocative suggestion of deploying troops in Maryland and Trump calling Moore “nasty” and threatening to revoke federal funds to help fix a collapsed bridge.
“Hey Donald, we can get you a golf cart if that makes things easier,“ Moore needled the 79-year-old Trump on X.
Moore said Maryland’s homicide rate has dropped more than 20 percent since he has been governor, “and the last time the homicide rate was this low in Baltimore City, I was not born yet.”
Chicago 'next'
Trump had said Friday that Chicago and New York -- major Democratic-led cities -- would receive National Guard deployments similar to Washington.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both Democrats, strongly rejected the idea.
Chicago recorded 573 homicides in 2024, according to city police, eight percent lower than the year before - AFP
