President Trump on Wednesday criticized the leadership of cities he likened to “war zones,” hinting that he may seek to have the federal government intervene to bring down crime rates.

Trump spoke from the Oval Office at an event called to discuss the Justice Department’s efforts to take down the international crime gang MS-13. But he went on to criticize local officials in cities such as Minneapolis and Chicago who, he said, have done a poor job at containing violence in their communities.

Chicago, where crime has remained mostly steady this year, reported 1,541 shootings as of July 12, compared with 1,059 at the same time last year, according to data from the police department. “We do know that in a number of cities, crime has spiked very abruptly,” Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri, told Yahoo News on Wednesday. “And the size of the increases that we see in many places, New York City would be one, is troubling.”

Among a few examples, Rosenfeld said, is the COPS Office at the Department of Justice. The program offers grants to local law enforcement agencies.

Those mayors should be prosecuted for their roles in the destruction of their cities as a result of gross neglegence, incompetence, malfeasance, and corruption.

Trump doesn't try to unify, to help. He is stuck at the antagonistic level mentally and spiritually. He's a stunted president.
