Mayor Brandon Johnson needs a civics lesson. The U.S. Constitution gives the President — not mayors — the authority to deploy the National Guard when a city can’t or won’t maintain order. It’s called the Insurrection Act. It’s not only LEGAL but necessary! Chicago isn’t a separate nation — it’s still part of the United States. So no, it’s not ‘unconstitutional’ for President Trump to send in the Guard. What is unconstitutional is pretending your mayoral executive order overrules federal law. That’s not leadership. That’s ignorance wrapped in arrogance!
