Donald Trump told an audience of MAGA supporters in Iowa, that if he's elected again he will send federal troops into blue state cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago to fight crime.

Continuing his regurgitated war on crime meme, Trump bragged about Republican governors.

"You look at any democrat-run state, and it's just not the same. It does not work," Trump said. "You look at these cities, our great cities. New York City is a crime den. Chicago is a crime den. You look at these great cities, Los Angeles, San Francisco you look at what's happening to our country."

"We cannot let it happen any longer, and one of the other things I will do because you know you're not supposed to be involved in that. You have to be asked by the governor or the mayor to come in," Trump said. "The next time, I am not waiting."

"One of the things I did was, let them run it, and we're gonna show how bad a job they do," he said.

"Well, we did that. We don't have to wait any longer. We gotta get crime out of our cities," he said.

Trump can't "let" a city run itself.

The cockwobbler plans to occupy the city of Los Angeles (3.849 million people) with troops?

Trump is targeting cities and states that refused to vote for him for retribution. If he was truly worried about crime and murder, Trump would single out red states like Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alaska, Oklahoma, and Mississippi, who are at the top of the murder rate per capita in the US.

And what Trump proposes is illegal, but C&L readers understand that already.
