TRUMP SENDS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO
By: Derek Varsalona
Well, there is no more separation of powers. Or is it a fact that Mayor Brandon can not keep control of his own city? In an act of defiance, President Trump decided to send in the National Guard to the crime-ridden city of Chicago.
This move is one of authoritarianism and a power grab. But what does this move by President Trump say about the local leaders of Chicago? It says to me that the leaders, especially Mayor Brandon, do not know how to control their own city. The city is in chaos, and Mayor Brandon can not control the police force. So, what is President Trump supposed to do? Sit by ideally, while Chicago burns and is buried in a wave of crime?
This is not so much a concern of federalization over the city, but more a cry out that Mayor Brandon has no control over own city that he administers. Okay, fine, let us have it, Mayor Brandon's way, and pull the National Guard. The,n when crime goes up and the people start rioting and burning down Chicago, Mayor Brandon will wish the National Guard had never left Chicago. President Trump is right to restore order and send in the National Guard since Mayor Brandon can not control his own city. As always, comments are accepted.
