Trump Says ‘We’re Not Going to War’ with Chicago Day After Truth Social Post

Trump denies declaring war on Chicago but insists on enforcing immigration laws and deploying National Guard troops to combat crime amid political backlash.

  • On Saturday, September 6, President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated 'Apocalypse Now' image on Truth Social, saying `I love the smell of deportations in the morning` and `Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR`.
  • Amid a broader push to federalize law enforcement, officials have suggested expanding National Guard deployments to blue-state cities including Chicago, Baltimore and New York after Trump seized control of D.C. policing on Aug. 11.
  • Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker condemned Trump's post as threatening war with Chicago, while President Donald Trump denied intent, saying, `We’re not going to war.`
  • Last week a federal judge ruled the National Guard deployment in Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker warned up to 300 ICE agents could arrive in Chicago this weekend.
  • As a broader trend, the administration has used AI-crafted visuals and provocative captions to tie its executive order renaming the Department of Defense as the Department of War to AI-generated propaganda imagery, Democrats and critics say.
