“We go to Memphis. Memphis has big problems. The mayor is happy, he is a democrat (…) we will solve this, as we did in Washington“, The US president said in an interview with the Fox News, referring to the sending of troops and federal agents to the capital last month, writes Agerpres.
Trump, who tried to make crime a central problem despite the decrease in the number of violent offenses in many cities, announced the decision to carry out federal troops in Memphis after having resistance to his plans to send federal immigration agents (ICE) and National Guard troops to Chicago.
“Chicago will understand why the war department is called”can be read in a message published on the Truth Social Account of the US President, who threatens for days that he will send federal troops there to combat crime.
The post presents an image, apparently generated by artificial intelligence, which shows the president dressed in military uniform on a background of fires and helicopters flying on the orange sky above the city of Chicago, with legend “Chipocalyps Now”.
This direct reference to “Apocalypse Now”, the film about the Vietnam war directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is accompanied by a famous quote, reused: “I like the smell of deportations in the early morning” – the fight against immigration being its main objective.
He said that troops of the National Guard could be held in other cities, including in New Orleans, Louisiana.
