"So we're going to Memphis," Trump said, then added he will be sending the "National Guard and anybody else we need" to crack down on crime.
"We're going to fix that just like we did Washington. I would have preferred going to Chicago," Trump also said. The president said that the mayor of Memphis as well as the governor have been troubled by the amount of crime going on in the city.
“By the way, we'll bring in the military too if we need it, and the National Guard. But Memphis is, look, it's a great Music City. It's, you know, home of Elvis and everything else,” Trump added.
The president deployed the National Guard earlier in the summer in Washington, DC to crack down on criminality in the nation's capital, leading to a drop in violent crime around the city. Trump also repeatedly suggested that the administration would be deploying the National Guard as well as ICE to Chicago to help crack down on crime in the weeks following the DC crime crackdown.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker as well as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have both pushed back against Trump in his plans to deploy federal forces to Chicago to crack down on crime as well as illegal immigration.
