Dem Mayor Of Crime-Ridden City Actually Thinks Trump Is ‘Intimidated’ By His ‘Intellectual Prowess’

Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson stated on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is criticizing his handling of crime because he is “intimidated” by the “intellectual prowess of black men.”

A reporter asked the mayor during a press conference for his response to Trump calling Johnson and Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker “incompetent” over their handling of crime in Chicago. The mayor said that Trump is using “petite and puerile” insults toward his handling of crime simply because he is “intimidated” by his leadership.

“The president has always been intimidated by the intellectual prowess of black men, and so of course he would speak in those petite and puerile terms because he’s small,” Johnson said.

After Trump deployed the National Guard in Washington, D.C., he warned on Monday that the federal government may crackdown on crime in other Americans cities like Chicago. He expressed hope that his actions in Washington would influence other major cities to “self-clean up.”

“I’m going to look at New York in a little while,” Trump said. “And if we need to, we’re going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster.”

Johnson accused Trump of spreading misinformation about the crime rates in Chicago and that sending in the National Guard would “only serve to destabilize city” and “undermine” public safety.
