It appears that Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzger faced off with Trump over sending the national guard to Chicago, and once again, Trump blinked.
Trump is a bully and a coward.
If you give in, he will go after you again and again. If you stand up to him, he folds like a wet noodle.
President Donald Trump appears to be backing off his plan to send National Guard troops to Chicago after weeks of threatening to do so over the objections of local leaders.
Trump has publicly flirted in recent weeks with the idea of deploying the National Guard to Chicago, describing the city as a dangerous “hellhole” despite data showing Chicago is leading a national downward trend in violent crime.
But no troops have arrived — though the city is experiencing a surge of federal immigration agents as part of Operation Midway Blitz — and Trump backed off his threats of a military incursion in Chicago as he talked to reporters Tuesday night at a Washington, D.C., steakhouse, where he was heckled by protesters.
“We’re going to be announcing another city that we’re going to very shortly, working it out with the governor of a certain state who would love us to be there, and the mayor of a certain city in the same state that would love us to be there,” Trump said, according to the Tribune.
Perhaps some other Democratic politicians should rediscover their testicles and stand up to Trump as well.
