Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed what might be the most self-destructive executive order in recent memory. Instead of welcoming backup to deal with his city’s spiraling crime, Johnson is telling President Trump to “stand down” on sending the National Guard. Yes, you read that right—the guy who can’t control carjackings, migrant crime waves, or gang shootings is rejecting help from trained soldiers. Apparently, Johnson thinks his own press conferences are enough to keep Chicago safe.
Police Answer to… Johnson’s Ego
Johnson’s order declares that the Chicago Police Department doesn’t take orders from anyone except City Hall. Well, that’s comforting—if you trust Brandon Johnson’s judgment more than, say, people who actually know how to fight crime. The order bars CPD from working with the National Guard, federal agents, or even immigration enforcement. Because who cares about MS-13 setting up shop in Chicago when you’ve got a mayor with a Sharpie and an ego?
Masks Off, Criminals On
The order even micromanages uniforms. Federal agents are told to take off their masks and flash their badges while Chicago cops have to wear full uniforms. Johnson wants a “clear distinction” between his people and Trump’s people. Translation: “I need everyone to know which officers are mine so criminals know who not to take seriously.” If criminals had a Yelp page, they’d be giving Johnson five stars right now.
The Sanctuary City Playbook
This move isn’t just about crime. It’s about protecting Chicago’s sanctuary city status. Johnson’s order specifically bans CPD from aiding in “civil immigration enforcement.” Because in liberal logic, shielding illegal immigrants from ICE is apparently more urgent than shielding citizens from gang violence. Democrats scream “federal overreach” when Trump acts, but when Biden was in charge, suddenly federal agents were their best friends. Funny how that works.
Trump the Law-and-Order President
Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to send the Guard to Chicago whether Johnson likes it or not—just as he did in D.C. and L.A. back in his first term. And guess what? Crime dropped. Even Democrat mayors like Muriel Bowser eventually admitted it worked. The White House is laughing at Johnson’s stunt, calling it pure politics. Spoiler: they’re right. If Johnson actually cared about Chicagoans, he’d stop doing improv theater and let the Guard do their job.
Johnson and Pritzker: The Do-Nothing Duo
Johnson’s not alone in this clown car—Governor JB Pritzker is backing him up. Both men are whining about not being “informed” of federal plans, like it’s rude not to send them an RSVP. Newsflash: criminals aren’t waiting for your paperwork. This is the same Pritzker who botched COVID policy and now wants to botch public safety too. Apparently, Illinois Democrats believe the best way to fight crime is with executive memos and stern looks.
A City Preparing for Chaos
Johnson admits federal agents could arrive “as early as Friday.” His solution? Dust off the Democratic National Convention “playbook.” You know, the one where he patted himself on the back because protests didn’t completely burn the city down. That’s his gold standard—“not burning down” is now the bar. If that doesn’t make you feel safe, I don’t know what will.
Publicity Stunts Over Public Safety
The whole thing boils down to one fact: Johnson would rather score points against Trump than protect Chicagoans. He cares more about making MSNBC headlines than stopping carjackings. This is the liberal playbook in 2025—let the city crumble, blame Trump, and collect applause from activists who don’t live anywhere near the South Side.
Law and Order vs. Liberal Chaos
At the end of the day, it’s simple. Trump brings law and order. Johnson brings chaos and excuses. Chicago doesn’t need more press conferences; it needs the Guard. But until voters wise up, they’ll keep getting leaders like Johnson—leaders who think crime is less dangerous than losing a Twitter argument with Donald J. Trump.

Brainless Johnson is the worst of the worst when it comes to mayors of large cities, and Fat Ass Pritzker is the worst of the worst governors of blue states! These two idiots can’t see the forest for ALL the damn trees! Crime (particularly shootings) are WAY beyond control in Chicago! Citizens who live in that hellhole certainly all know the dangers! Chicago today is more dangerous than back in the days of it being the mafia run killing fields! Why would anyone want to live in IL???
As an ex Chicagoan I lived thru the “60s after Martin Luther King was shot and saw first hand how democrats handled things. First the send party members down south to inform African Americans how much better off they would be moving north due to additional government benefits thanks to the democratic party. With the city going up in flames mayor Daley calls out the National with orders of shoot to kill any arsonist or looter. Amazing how times have changed.
So called mayor Johnson is Pritzker PUPPET so he will do anything pritzker says to do both of these IDIOTS will go down in a ball of fire at election time!!!
If either lardass pritzker or brainless johnson interfere with this, ARREST them and lock them up for OBSTRUCTION. Those democrazy politicians need to understand that, like their favorite phrase goes, NOBODY is above the law, and NOT THEM!
This article was written before the 57 shootings, 7 dead so far just during Labor Day weekend. Chicagoans voted for this. Enjoy!!!
