TROLL LEVEL: POTUS DJT. President Trump warns that Chicago is ‘about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR’ in incendiary Truth Social post:

President Donald Trump threatened Illinois‘s biggest city with a ‘Chipocalypse’ ahead of expected Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. 

Trump, 79, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday to post a meme about himself, where he wrote: ‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning.

‘Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.’

Trump rebranded the Pentagon to the Department of War this week.

His threat comes as ICE readies a raid on the Windy City after Trump said he selected it for the next federal military takeover.

The Department of Homeland Security asked the Pentagon to have access to Naval Station Great Lakes – the largest military base in Illinois – to base the operation, The Washington Post reported.

It’s quite a striking image:

A decade ago, Spike Lee made a film in which he dubbed the Second City “Chi-Raq.” As CNN reported at the time:

Violence in this great American city matures so notoriously that film director Spike Lee now purportedly seeks a new nickname for the Windy City: Chiraq.

The name merges Chi-town with Iraq – as if Chicago sinks like the godforsaken Iraq, a hopeless war zone to the world.

The label signals a long fall for Chicago, whose official motto is the elegant “Urbs in Horto,” or “City in a Garden.” Once upon a time, Chicago even inspired poetry when Carl Sandburg declared it the “City of the Big Shoulders.”

But “Chiraq” is another story altogether for America’s third-largest city.

Naturally, Trump has leftists pivoting on a dime to defend the crime-ridden hellscape. In late August, CNN reported: Pritzker tells Trump to stay out of Chicago: ‘You are neither wanted here nor needed here.’

To be fair, I hope the soldiers of the newly minted Department of War are as tough as the denizens of Chiraq:
