U.S. President Donald Trump has again threatened military intervention in Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Chicago will understand why the Department of Defense is now called the Department of War,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For days, the U.S. President has been threatening to send federal forces to allegedly combat crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also posted a picture, apparently generated by artificial intelligence, that shows the president in military uniform against a backdrop of fires and helicopters in an orange sky above Chicago, with the caption “Chipocalypse Now<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an allusion to the film “Apocalypse Now” by the famous director Francis Ford Coppola about the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor of Illinois, the U.S. state where Chicago is located, reacted by saying he did not see the message as a joke. “This isn’t a joke. The President of the U.S. is threatening to go to war against an American city,” wrote Governor J.B. Pritzker<\/strong>, a Democrat, on the platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Illinois “will not be intimidated by an increasingly powerful dictator.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calling Chicago a “rat hole” and the “murder capital of the world,” Trump has been threatening since late August to send the National Guard there, a military reserve force he has already deployed in two other strongholds of the Democratic opposition, Los Angeles<\/strong> and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uniformed soldiers equipped with armored vehicles have been patrolling the U.S. capital since mid-August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, several hundred people marched through the streets of Washington, protesting the “occupation” of the city by federal forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In Washington, the big criminal is in the White House,” one of the banners read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Trump signed a decree renaming the U.S. Department of Defense to the “Department of War,” adding that he wants to send a “message of victory and strength to the rest of the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
