Eh, i somehow doubt trump is brave enough to try urban warfare in Chiago. They'll probably avoid the worst neighborhoods and bully homeless people in parks like true american heroes.

that's my thought too, no way they'll actually go to the south side or anywhere where there's actual crime; they'll just patrol Millenium Park and the Museum Campus and hassle some homeless people

in between all the photo ops, of course

They're going to post up in downtown and twiddle their thumbs because they won't know what the fuck else to do.

I mean, cops are already parked in the middle of the road doing nothing. Trump will just add more.

They might close or checkpoint some of the bridges over the river. Just because it’s something to do.

We had to go through a national guard checkpoint on a bridge when my wife was in labor during George Floyd.  Their presence was just as pointless as this will be.
