#4 I just had a novel idea!

How about JB Pritzker actually do something about the crimes in Chicago, that way the POTUS won't have to send in the NG!

#6 Pritzker could "send in" the National Guard himself, but he won't. He can't endorse an Orange Man solution for anything.

#7 DC Mayor Bowser reverses course, admits Trump's federal crime crackdown is working

I'm sensing an ambassadorship pending.

#8 At least they won't have to worry about Pritzker throwing a sandwich.

DC Mayor Bowser reverses course, admits Trump's federal crime crackdown is working

This even made my morning radio report; believe the station is an ABC outlet. Something like carjacking down 85% so there is no hiding it.

#9 Chicago is much, much bigger than DC with more criminal gangs, more crime areas, etc.

The DC deployment is about 2000. A much bigger deployment would be necessary, probably closer to 10,000 or maybe even 20,000.
