A F*CKING U.S. PRESIDENT THREATENING a major U.S. city with "WAR?" Are you F*CKING KIDDING ME?

Trump threatens Department of War invasion of Chicago in menacing post

https://www.rawstory.com/chicago-2673967223/

Trump ramped up his threats to enact a federal takeover of Chicago, Illinois on Saturday after sharing an image on social media depicting an AI-generated version of himself standing in front the city’s skyline, with military helicopters flying overhead and flames burning in the background.

The image included the phrase ‘Chipocalypse Now,” a reference to the 1979 war film “Apocalypse Now,” and a quote that reads “I love the smell of deportations in the morning,” another reference to one of the film’s most notable lines: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”

“Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” another line plastered on the image reads.

[Walleye]

1. Are there any patriots left in that party. Does he realize some soldiers are from Chicago?

[orangecrush]

9. No and no.

[BoRaGard]

12. republicons have turned their backs, full-on BETRAYAL of America

[bluestarone]

22. True, BUT

Let's all hope they pay for what they are doing to our country!!

[vapor2]

105. TREASON

[Trueblue1968]

106. Just end his life now.

#TrumpIsEvil #TrumpIsTheAntiChrist

[slightlv]

125. This x1000! You've got the vibe from my house!

If only we knew how it could be done.... even by some of us "old hippies"... !

[3auld6phart]

141. Agreed

That orange imbecile is going to trash the USA. And shoot to kill this t,take out Eye zombie miller also… don’t feckin miss….

[Conjuay]

143. You would think with 393 million guns in this country

and all the BULLSHIT we have been fed by the NRA regarding how important it is to protect our democracy - blah, blah, blah- we wouldn't need to be having this discussion.

[PatSeg]

23. He has gotten away with so much crap

for ever so long, that he doesn't even try to restrain himself. He thinks he is invulnerable now and that no one will stop him. He even screws over the people who have supported him; he just views them as suckers and losers anyway. All that power has gone to his demented brain.

Meanwhile, he really does seem to be losing his mind. Doesn't get much more crazy than this, but with Trump, I think it is possible he could and will get worse.

[Walleye]

27. I've always heard the expression drunk on power. I've never really seen it before.

In Trump’s mind, the largest military in history belongs to him so he doesn’t have to take any shit off of anybody

[PatSeg]

41. I've read about tyrants who were "drunk on power"

and of course, we've seen such people in movies, but I've never seen anything like this in real life. I have seen some abusive men who were "drunk on power", but in a much smaller setting, usually taking it out on their wives and children or employees.

Trump is going to make everyone pay for every time he was rejected, ridiculed, or passed over. This is his ultimate revenge dream.

[Walleye]

43. And he will still be angry and hateful no matter how many people he manages to take it out on

And he seems like he’s just miserable. I guess he thinks he’s having a good time.

[PatSeg]

48. True

No matter what he does, he will still be miserable because the problem is within him, not in the outer world. Such an unhappy, unlovable man whose actions only contribute to his unhappiness.

[Walleye]

49. As somebody said, he could've taken over from Biden and played golf for four years and everything would be better

[PatSeg]

70. Probably true

But I can't imagine him being content with just playing golf and doing an occasional press appearance. He has to feel like he is part of every decision being made even when clearly others are making a lot of the policy. I think the tariffs are pretty much all Trump though. Somehow he honestly believes in them and the more reality proves him wrong, the more he just doubles down.

[Walleye]

98. And I'm sure he was very involved in picking out those stupid umbrellas in the Rosegarden

[PatSeg]

101. Oh yeah and the giant flag pole

All the cheesy ostentatious stuff is definitely Trump.

[sprinkleeninow]

92. Could've, but didn't. Being driven/controlled by 'forces', natural and unnatural. nt

[Walleye]

97. I think he's looking toward the end of his life. In some kind of supernova fascism.

[sprinkleeninow]

108. This may very well be. He could possibly be 'shown things'. 'Other wordly' things... nt

[ananda]

67. I guess for a sadist, cruelty is a turn-0n...

and the more the better.

[Walleye]

85. Exactly. That's why he picks on people who are smaller and weaker

He’s basically a coward and he’s not gonna Ris’s getting hurt himself in any circumstances. That’s why he hast to do all this strutting and displaying. He knows how afraid he is and he’s trying to hide it from himself, I think

[SupportSanity]

145. Also to find others who also want and enjoy cruelty with

Friends in cruelty.

Welcome to America or
nazi Germany
Hungary
Russia
and the list goes on.

[aggiesal]

78. There's this old phrase that really applies to Mierda47 ...

He's only happy when he's miserable.

[Justice matters.]

84. Pedo felon is not miserable, he's making billions each month.

Unpunished pedo felon would be miserable if he was serving time in prison where he really belongs.

[Walleye]

87. Yep. And you know how misery loves company in their miserableness.

So I guess the only way he can actually feel any kind of happiness is by making other people miserable. And then it doesn’t last and it’s never good enough. He really is like a junkie with this stuff.

[Captain Zero]

107. Chicago should shut off the water to

A tower on the river, FIRST.

[SupportSanity]

146. In an interview after making the movie

“Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen was asked now would he like to live in Paris?

He said that he’s always depressed and miserable. And that he would be depressed and miserable anywhere - it didn’t have to be Paris.

[ZZenith]

104. The Stoics believe that Virtue equals Happiness.

Last edited Sat Sep 6, 2025, 08:15 PM - Edit history (1)

That means Trump is beyond miserable and always will be.

[Walleye]

121. That's what I think but it doesn't help

[ZZenith]

128. I know.

He won’t be happy until we’re all as miserable as he is.

[pat_k]

94. We are seeing dynamics akin to an abusive sexual predator male

terrorizing his family -- a family divided into enablers and victims and extended family turning a "blind eye" to reality.

[PatSeg]

100. And it is really so common

We just haven't seen it with someone who has the position and power of the president of the United States, making such a brute a threat to the entire world.

[pat_k]

123. Yes. "..the same gendered, patriarchal behaviors weaponized by abusers."

At the heart of Trump 2.0’s brazen fascism are the same gendered, patriarchal behaviors weaponized by abusers.

https://prismreports.org/2025/05/22/trump-domestic-abusers-violence-immigrants/

[PatSeg]

139. It is such an old tired playbook,

you'd think people would be immune to such tactics.

[CBHagman]

127. Oh, I agree he could get worse.

And I agree about observation that he's losing his mind. I think he's capable of the worst behavior, but I also suspect he will be so diminished in the coming months that his unpopularity will only increase.

[PatSeg]

138. Yes, I feel he will probably

get much worse and that much of what goes on behind closed doors will start to happen in public.

[Catlady123]

2. 🤬🤬🤬

Just saw that and I'm so angry I could spit nails. I don't know how much longer our country and its people can take this abuse.

[Orrex]

3. Why the fuck doesn't he just die already?

[Initech]

11. Seriously!

Fuck Trump and his fascist goons and his ass kissing propaganda channels to the hottest of hells.

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. Best suggestion of the day.

That's from a Chicagoan.

[Nigrum Cattus]

54. His doctors have him functioning

50 years ago he would already be dead

[Orrex]

71. They're violating their hypocratic oath by keeping him alive

a prominent place to hang his decomposing body upside down to allow respects to be made.

5. Lots of bad leaders wage war on other countries,

but it takes a special combination of malice and ignorance to wage war on your own country.

[The Blue Flower]

32. MAGnorance

A newly coined word inspired by your post. Thank you.

58. MAGAnorance

[Walleye]

33. Well, it should be obvious to everybody now, he hates Americans

[sop]

59. It's still about Obama.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. It's a con man's war, a fake war, there is no opposition, he can't lose.

The war posters are just like the ballroom glitz, gold overlay.

[PatSeg]

26. Yes and the same with bombing a small boat in the

Caribbean. He really wants to be a wartime president, but he'll only wage wars that he can win.

[bucolic_frolic]

56. The Bone Spurs Wars /nt

[IcyPeas]

81. Yup. President Bonespurs.

[live love laugh]

50. It's "fake" until the casualties begin.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. This boy's read too many super villain "comic" books in his youth.

[PatSeg]

28. And Saturday morning cartoons

with those fiendish villains who laughing maniacally proclaim that "I will rule the world".

[orangecrush]

8. Be careful what you wish for Caligula.

[Initech]

10. We kicked Nixon out of office for less than this.

Donald Trump is absolutely fucking deranged and drunk with power. He needs to be removed and arrested now. Enough is fucking enough! We need the adults back in charge now!

[misanthrope]

53. The Nixon era was such a different time in America

Wealth aside, Nelson Rockefeller would have no home in the modern GOP.

[Mme. Defarge]

57. Then we had

a functioning 2-party system.

[SupportSanity]

147. That defines how far along the takeover is now.

Extremely depressing……

[AnotherMother4Peace]

13. If he declares war on somebody, will he have to suspend or take precautions during elections?

A hell of a lot of war talk lately from this piece of shit.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

34. NOT how one is awarded a Nobel Prize for Peace.

Waging war on one's own citizens.

The Nobel Committee is watching.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

40. His "I deserve a peace prize" is shit & he knows it - he's portraying himself as a good guy. nt

[maddiemom]

61. And renaming the Dept. of Defense the Dept. Of WAR?

What's that about? Hopefully that he's given up the Nobel (Noble) Peace Prize nagging.

[IzzaNuDay]

134. If there were a Nobel prize appropriate for him:

Nobel Piece of Shit award!

[Ping Tung]

14. Uh, OH! Trump-bo has his camouflage underpants and war makeup on again.

If it wasn't for those agonizing bone spurs and huge scar on his earlobe he'd lead the charge into Chicago himself.

[llmart]

31. Don't forget his famous line on J 6...

"I'll be right there with you" (or something to that affect).

He's nothing but a yellow-bellied coward. All talk and someone else does the hard work.

[Ilsa]

114. He probably has a garish bespoke jacket

half covered in gold braiding, shoulder epaulets, and medals he's awarded himself for putting on his underwear right (yellow in front, brown in back).

[milestogo]

15. And the FUCKING REPUBLICANS in Congress don't think there is anything wrong with him.

[kacekwl]

95. They are fully

aware what a POS her is but are a scared of to open their dirty shit filled mouths.

[Heidi]

16. I guess we're fixin' to see what the 2A *really* means.

Is it for a well-regulated state militia? Or is it just a mechanism for killing POC?

[spanone]

17. He's a sick, twisted, fucked up, barely human being.

[Queso Delicioso]

102. He's got no humanity.

He's just vermin on two feet.

18. You Motherfucking Pedophile Poser

[Fil1957]

19. How come this doesn't surprise me?

[LudwigPastorius]

20. _

[Trueblue Texan]

21. He needs to be removed from office NOW!

I doubt there are any in his cabinet responsible to do this. Is there ANYTHING in the Constitution that provides for lunatics to be removed by any other means?

[Jilly_in_VA]

35. Nope

There is another way, but I got a post removed and threatened with suspension for even hinting at it. You figure it out.

[Katinfl]

24. We see this on DU but we already know about him and his hate.

Will this be see on on network TV, in major newspapers, local TV, other internet sites? If not, we are preaching to the choir. If this had been Obama, Clinton or Biden it would be plastered all over. Until the general public that is not as tuned as we are sees it, nothing will change. Again, I hope I am wrong.

[MLWR]

25. I'd bet good money

that Cadet BoneSpurs is not going to be the one leading the invading troops into battle. He's way too much of a gutless, spineless, lily-livered, yellow-bellied, chickenshit COWARD.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

29. Governor JB Pritzker has a great response to this stupidity

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

[58Sunliner]

30. He wants violence folks. Now is not the time.

Chicago is no accident. Filthy, degenerate, POS wants an excuse. Fucker can barely walk to the car, much less squat without help.

[intrepidity]

42. "Now is not the time". If not now, when? nt

[Captain Zero]

113. I'm sure Chicagoans can JAM this up.

They know the city. They know the lay of the land. Ask some Chicago taxi drivers.

[58Sunliner]

140. Mass resistance is the only way to defeat his policies.

Do we have the masses yet? Do we have even 25% of the people in the streets? We need to shut down this country by non-violent means.

[Dawson Leery]

36. And the "Don't Tread On Me people" are no where to be found.

[purr-rat beauty]

38. When trials come

There will be many, but not him.

[Diamond_Dog]

39. The thought of that sloppy flabby deranged and demented nincompoop as a "tough guy"

Boy, that’s some stretch of the imagination. Who’s making up this AI garbage for him?

[ancianita]

44. The Department of War is obviously readying for domestic war as much as foreign war.

The felon is Beta testing intimidation & threat tactics on blue governors and their cities -- to suppress election votes. Part of the felon's war against democracy.

[marble falls]

51. Almost posted something about "ridding us of this turbulent priest", thought better of it.

[misanthrope]

52. Is this a distraction from the sinking economic numbers and indicators?

Granted, he wants to invade blue cities -- and Obama Ground Zero most of all -- but the sudden elevation in shock value around this topic makes me think he also using it to divert attention.

[Girard442]

55. I hate the smell of a full Depends in the morning.

[Takket]

60. this invasion is going to end one of two ways.........

Bloodshed, or a whimper.

I'm not sure how long these invasion will continue to go on for, if people will simply decide its best to stay the hell out of the way, and let the National Guard lay down mulch.

But at some point nerves are going to be frayed, injustice is going to reach a boiling point, and America is going to watch a Kent State style massacre play out live on their TVs. I just pray that the people that die that day do not do so in vain, and the country rises up to end this dictatorship.

[Bread and Circuses]

62. Make no Mistake. Republicans Will kill people in Blue states...

They hate blue cities and want to annihilate all of us, just as we see what is being done by Russia.

And he will. And republicans will say Nothing,

122. Normal people feel disgust!

What is normal?

[peggysue2]

63. Disgusting!

Agent Orange is so hungry for a power play, he's willing to make war on Chicago.

Pathetic weasel and traitor.

Good News? Epstein's still a thing regardless of what Donnie threatens.

[Efilroft Sul]

65. "To save the nation, we had to destroy it."

[sop]

66. Lt. Colonel Kilgore, Robert Duvall's character in 'Apocalypse Now,'' was a fucking lunatic, just like Trump.

[markie]

68. it is a very

sick man that does the things being done

[Brainstormy]

69. he needs to be institutionalized!

the man is a fucking lunatic

[edhopper]

72. Duvalkl/Kilgore

was the epitome of American hubris and folly in Vietnam. He was neither a hero or positive figure.
What is next, Trump as Lt. Calley, telling us he has to burn a city to save it?

[Joinfortmill]

73. It can't get much worse than this. If any shots are fired, we may be in it for real. Also... Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

[Farmer-Rick]

74. From the moment pedo Trump first ran for president

I thought, there's a man who wants to drop a bomb on an American city. It was his fake swagger, his psychopathy and hate. Also the fact that he talked about killing someone out in the open and still being loved by everyone. It isn't just one American he wants to kill out in the open, it's many, many Americans.

Also the government has dropped bombs on their own American citizens previously, usually under Republican leaders. Seems that despite most citizens thinking they live in the land of the free, we actually are targets for the police, sheriff, powerful racist gangs and military forces.

There was the Philadelphia bombing by police on MOVE, a black liberation group, in 1985. And there was the Blair Mountain, VA bombing by the federal government and sheriff's department on miners who were on strike in August 1921. Which was the same year in June of the Tulsa race massacre that also firebombed American citizens from planes.

American citizens are subjected to occasional aerial bombardment on their own soil by government agencies whenever a Republican president feels like it, or turns a blind eye. Not much difference between conservative US policy and China policy, except for maybe number of babies they want women to pop out. They both severely punish citizens when they demand too much.

[GoCubsGo]

75. What a fucking assclown.

May the only "apocalypse" be to that goddamn eyesore on an otherwise beautiful skyline, that has his fucking name on it.

[wiggs]

76. The latest in daily outrages...and I'm not sure he sees a downside to any of them. It doesn't cost him money

personally. Defending his actions in court is done with our money, not his. They clearly aren't worried about voting; even if there is an election they are working several angles to make it less fair. Plus he has been given immunity for almost anything he does. Plus he has captured or corrupted many of the norms, guardrails, and institutions typically in place. Plus in his mind he considers anything he does, especially those crazy ideas and actions no one would previously even think about, to be fully formed and brilliant by definition.

What is the downside for him?

The US elected a madman not constrained by morals, knowledge, laws, norms, limited funds, lack of enforcement capability, patriotism, or empathy. Not sure what happens next but I doubt it's good.

[IbogaProject]

77. Super overcompensation

All this chest beating is simply because he can't and has never given pleasure to any woman in coitus. He could have just tried to figure it out but he is just too damaged by his evil parents leaving him to be one of the first raised by TV.

[Grammy23]

79. Are we at tRump's Captain Queeg moment?

If we see ball bearings and strawberries we’ll know we’re there.

He has been building to this moment where he goes full on crackers with an audience of millions to witness it. His minions have been stroking him and coddling him along ….is this what he meant by saying Putin was tapping him along? The cabinet and staff have been watching this build and some of them are gleeful at what comes next. Maybe they should be feeling some terror like the rest of us? They’ve helped create this monster. Are they really sure they want him unleashed? Maybe they think he’ll fold or taco in the end. But can they be sure? Can we be sure?

It is way past time for someone(s) with the authority to step up and save us. Is anarchy our future?

Hoping it is not too late.

[Marthe48]

80. That won't get him into Heaven

or win him a Nobel Peace Prize.

Too bad force is the only way felon and his gang can gain power.

[democrank]

82. Trump, the cowardly bully, certainly likes to beat his war chest.

That’s such an odd thing since he ran and hid behind his father when the Vietnam War draft committee came calling. Now all of a sudden he’s an invasion expert. An example of Trump’s expert skills can be when he threw paper towels at people gathered for assistance after a hurricane.

Name one brave thing you’ve ever seen this disgraceful man do. Yet here he is, acting like some red, white and blue Super Saver. A very EXPERIENCED Super Saver. What BS.

Truth is….Trump is a punk, a fraud. A man so empty of decency that you can see right through him….all the way to that black, evil hole.

[ChazInAz]

142. He reminds me of the title of a story by Gerald Kersh:

"Busto Is A Ghost, To Mean To Give Us A Fright".

[Martin Eden]

83. Threatening WAR against a major US city?

Vladimir Putin has a BIG SMILE on his face.

88. That's like what Erdogan, the dictator in Turkey, does...

Where are the corrupt news media on that comparison? ?

[NJCher]

90. everybody's just waiting for him to die

so, as our poster upthread, takket, says:

let the National Guard lay down mulch.

I saw Pritzker discussing this on television, and I am confident he will handle any situation without bloodshed. My prediction: It will be handled through the courts.

I do not miss the point of other posters, however, that the people have had enough and who knows what might happen when John Q. Citizen's last nerve is frayed.

Soon it will be NJ's turn. As a gardener, I'd like to put in for an appointment to have the National Guard stop by and lay down mulch at my place.

103. What He Wants

[jmowreader]

110. As long as it's the one in the Election Day Purge movie...

…where it was legal to Purge politicians, that would be fine.

I’ve seen all the Purge movies, and the moral of the Purge movies is very few people want to commit crimes. I got asked on Quora once that if there was a Purge what crime would I commit, and my answer was I’d charter a cargo jet and take orders for all the stuff you can’t get out n the US - Kinder Eggs, Cuban cigars and rum, absinthe, Thai weed, real haggis with lungs in it, that sort of thing. Then on Purge night I’d bring you a year’s supply of this stuff.

[Fla Dem]

111. He ought to be impeached for threatening cities and their residents with armed takovers.

This is not presidential, it's insane dictatorial.

When will this crap be a bridge too far?

[Beartracks]

115. Example #1573 of "If Biden or Obama had done this..."

[doc03]

116. Whatever happened to the military won't carry out unlawful orders? It appears we are

moving to full military accupation. All he needs is someone to kill a soldier or them killing a civian
and it's Martial Law.and no elections.

[stage left]

117. Trump has been waging war on this country

and its people since he came down that fucking escalator. This is what he was paid to do. This was his deal with Putin. The quid pro quo for the money he was given. A traitor with a capital T.

[B.See]

129. Precisely. Has badazz talk for American cities, but

looked like a whipped hush-mouthed P------- standing next to Putin on an AMERICAN military base, while the latter went on about how we're practically Russians anyway. Assclown.

118. Threatened? Sounded more like he declared war.

[tinrobot]

pretty fucking nutz

130. BASTARD!!!

Any casualties will be black marks on YOUR soul, donald.

[ElementaryPenguin]

131. HE'S FUCKING INSANE!!!!

And needs to removed from office IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

[donheld]

132. Its not just tRump

People are fooling themselves if they think this will all go away if tRump goes away. We all know about The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation has ties to many if not all Republicans in congress. If tRump dies Project 2025 will continue. Peter Thiel is strongly connected with all of this and spending millions on this. Probably other billionaires too.

[Kablooie]

133. Yawn. Just another day courtesy of the Republican Party.

The destruction of our whole country is the dream of Republicans.
They are proud that they can just sit back and watch everything we know being flushed down the toilet.
What a wonderful time to be alive.

[DFW]

135. Welcome to Syria II

After flattening several of Syria’s most important cities, because they opposed him, their president fled to Moscow.

As long as he can still “show the money,” I’m sure Trump could end up doing a copycat performance. Putin surely still has a spare dacha or two, and he can get Fox Noise brought in on cable.

[Hartpi978]

136. Stephen, is that you?

You know that this is Stephen Miller speaking---the real president.

[karynnj]

137. This terrifies me

On a personal level I have family in Chicago including a young adult Hispanic niece and nephew, both adopted as babies. Even though their mother is a retired business owner, she is terrified.

On a political, country level, I am shocked that threatening major cities is actually cheered on by a relatively large part of Trump's base. Trump has weaponized the xenophobic under current in a nightmarish situation where a lawless federal government is attacking its own states, it's educated elite, public health organizations, higher education and research organizations. While he says ad nauseum that he is making America great, he is destroying everything he can that ACTUALLY made America important.

[KenAMorris]

148. President Bonespurs

President Cowardly Punk Bonespurs incites violence from both sides. ‘Let’s you and him fight.’
