(Brian Cassella/Chicago Tribune)“It’s just another sort of example of his animus towards working people,” Mayor Brandon Johnson told reporters at a City Hall news conference. “I think it’s important that the President respects the Constitution.

If Dems respected the Constitution they would have invoked the 25th Amendment but President High Heels Harris would have been bad optics.

Militarized crackdown? If BJ does his freaking job, there will be law and order… Not chaos and destruction. It really is indicative of the failure of the left that the only response they have is to throw stones at the other guy… No capacity for reflection and correction. The Democratic party has become the party of Not-Trump; nothing more.

Didn’t the same mayor not allow any outside officials in to monitor the health and safety of the migrants in the corrupt “shelters” after that little boy died….how about them apples.

It’s just another sort of example of his animus towards working the unionized political class of IL people

I am very much working people. The only interest Chicago and IL have in me is as a source of more taxes for the unions and pensioners that elect our gov’t officials.

I am not Trump fan, but I’d welcome someone coming to Chicago, cleaning up our city, squashing violence, fixing the crumbling infrastructure, and creating actual opportunity for those in need.

Talk of respecting the Constitution from a blatantly racist mayor handing out money contingent upon the recipients skin tone which is, er, unconstitutional.

I doubt that BJ can spell ‘constitution’ let alone have actually read it. He is a CTU member after all and such knowledge is far beyond the typical idiotic and moronic as a criteria for membership.

President Trump respects the Constitution, including the Supremacy Clause. Best if Mayor Cliff Notes reads up on it (or have someone read it to him) so he can respect the Constitution himself.
