“We are going to straighten this one probably then,” he added. “It will be our next after that, and it will not even be difficult.”

While he said that Chicago would be the next one, the Windy City was not the only place where the president called. He also said that federal repression could come to his hometown in New York.

The following week, on August 11, Trump declared a criminal emergency at DC, triggering the federal takeover.
