Chicago families are living in fear as kids walk to school past drug dealers and gang members. Parents tell heartbreaking stories of children asking why they hear gunshots every night. These are real American families trapped in a city where liberal politicians have failed them for decades.
President Trump is absolutely right to offer National Guard help to clean up this mess. Chicago recorded 573 murders in 2024, more than any other city in America. That means more dead Americans than New York and Los Angeles combined, yet Mayor Brandon Johnson keeps refusing real help.
The numbers don’t lie about Chicago’s crime crisis. For 13 straight years, Chicago has led the nation in total murders. The city recovers more illegal guns than New York and Los Angeles put together, yet arrests happen in only 16 percent of reported crimes.
Liberal politicians want you to believe crime is going down, but ask any Chicago parent. Motor vehicle thefts doubled since 2021, and violent criminals roam free while honest citizens stay locked in their homes. Kids carry guns because they don’t trust the police to protect them.
Democrats running Chicago have tried everything except actually fighting crime. They waste money on social programs while gang members control entire neighborhoods. Meanwhile, hardworking families suffer because liberal leaders care more about criminal rights than victim safety.
Trump’s plan to send federal help threatens the failed Democratic machine. These same politicians who created this disaster now attack the President for offering solutions. They would rather see more Americans die than admit their soft-on-crime policies don’t work.
Chicago needs real leadership that puts Americans first, not criminals. The National Guard helped restore order in other cities, and they can do it again. President Trump understands that public safety comes before political correctness.
Every day Chicago waits for help, more innocent people suffer. American families deserve to feel safe in their own neighborhoods, not live like prisoners in a war zone. It’s time to support our President and save Chicago from itself.
