Trump Sends National Guard to Memphis, Impact on Chicago
Introduction
President Trump recently announced that he will be sending the National Guard to Memphis, and he also stated that Chicago is "probably next" to receive the same treatment. This move comes after Trump established a task force for Memphis, which he claims will replicate the "extraordinary successful efforts" in Washington D.C.
Task Force for Memphis
The task force will consist of a team of highly trained and experienced individuals who will be responsible for addressing the rising crime rates in the city. Memphis has seen a significant increase in violent crimes, including homicides, in recent years. Trump's decision to send the National Guard is seen as a way to combat these troubling statistics and make the city safer for its residents.
Impact on Chicago
With Trump's statement that Chicago is "probably next" to receive the National Guard, it is clear that the city will also be facing similar challenges in terms of crime rates. This move is seen as a proactive measure to prevent the situation in Chicago from worsening. It also serves as a reminder that the federal government is taking action to keep its citizens safe.
About the People Mentioned
Donald Trump
Donald John Trump, born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, is an American businessman, media personality, and politician. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 1968 with a degree in economics. In 1971, he took over his family’s real estate business, renaming it the Trump Organization, through which he expanded into building and managing skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump gained widespread fame as the host of the reality TV show *The Apprentice* from 2004 to 2015, which helped establish his public persona as a successful entrepreneur. Trump entered politics as a Republican and was elected the 45th president of the United States, serving from 2017 to 2021. His presidency was marked by significant policy actions including tax cuts, deregulation, the appointment of three Supreme Court justices, renegotiation of trade agreements (notably replacing NAFTA with the USMCA), and a focus on immigration control including border wall expansion. He withdrew the U.S. from international agreements such as the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal, and engaged in a trade war with China. His administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was criticized for downplaying the virus’s severity. Trump was impeached twice by the House of Representatives—first in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction, and again in 2021 for incitement of insurrection—but was acquitted by the Senate both times. After losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, Trump challenged the results, culminating in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. He remains a central figure in American politics, having won the 2024 presidential election and returned as the 47th president in 2025, continuing to promote policies aimed at economic growth, border security, and military strength[1][2][3][4].
