For several weeks now Donald Trump has been deploying military troops to American cities on a mission that he says is to reduce crime. Never mind that each of the cities that he has already invaded have had declining crime rates before his deployments. And set aside the fact that it is illegal to use U.S. troops against American citizens.

It has been impossible not to notice that every city that Trump has designated as a destination for his army assignments – Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, Baltimore – all just happen to have Black mayors who are Democrats. What a crazy coincidence, huh?

Now Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is shedding some light on how Trump chose the cities that he is sending soldiers to. Responding to a question at Tuesday’s White House press briefing about Trump’s domestic military mission and who is being targeted, Leavitt said that…
“These are the career criminals, the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country. And he hopes that more Democrats will call the White House to allow us to help them.”
Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."
There’s a lot of bullpucky to unpack in that brief sound bite. For starters, Leavitt is lying that the people being detained and disappeared are “career criminals.” In fact, as many as 70% have no criminal records at all according to the Trump administration’s own data. Many are citizens or green card holders. And most were denied the due process that is guaranteed by the Constitution.
What’s more, it is peculiar that Leavitt says that they are picking up “bad guys” in D.C. every day, when Trump has been saying that he has cut crime 100%. In other words, according to Trump, there is no crime at all in D.C. anymore. So who are they arresting?
THEY JUST CAN'T STOP LYING!Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, keeps posting these memes every day boasting about dozens of arrests in Washington, D.C., even though Trump says that there is ZERO crime there.

Finally, Leavitt lets on that Trump is actually only interested in occupying cities with Democratic leaders. As noted above, her admission that “The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city” has been obvious. But now she is confirming that it is the official policy of the Trump administration. Why wouldn’t Trump “love” to do this in any of the cities with the most violent crime in red states? Doesn’t he care about the people in Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, or Arkansas? Or is he just laser-focused on going to war with Chicago…
WTHF? Trump is declaring war on…CHICAGO?He posted this on his Truth(less) (Anti)Social today.
