(Washington) Donald Trump once again agitated the threat of military intervention on Saturday in Chicago, the third city in the United States, by mentioning the new name given to the Department of Defense, while the Democratic opposition denounced a “power dictator”.
“Chicago will understand why it is called the Department of War,” read a message published by the Truth Social Account of the American President, which has been threatening the threat of sending federal troops to attack crime for days.
The publication includes an image, visibly generated by artificial intelligence, which shows the president dressed in military clothes on a background of fire and flying helicopters in the Orange sky of Chicago, with the mention “Chipocalype Now”.

Qualifying Chicago as “rats” or “world capital of murder”, Donald Trump has threatened since the end of August to send the National Guard, the reserve military body that he has already deployed in two other democratic opposition bastions: Los Angeles, California, and Washington.
Uniform soldiers, equipped with armored vehicles, have patrolled in mid-August in the American capital. Hundreds, or even thousands of people paraded in the streets of Washington on Saturday to protest the city’s “occupation” by federal troops.
