US President Trump wrote this morning (Beijing Time, early on August 31): "Last weekend, there were 6 deaths and 24 people shot in Chicago. And the Illinois Governor, that weak and pitiful guy, actually said he didn't need help to prevent crime. He's crazy!!! He'd better change his ways right away, or we're coming for him! Make America Great Again!"
[Witty] Additional information: Trump's post stated that there were 6 deaths and 24 people shot in Chicago last week. Local Chicago police reported 3 deaths and 30 people shot. Governor Pritzker of Illinois stated that the state does not need the federal army and pointed out that violent crime in Chicago had decreased by 22% by early 2025.
[Witty] Comment: US data for 2024: A total of 647 mass shootings occurred throughout the year, an average of 1.77 per day. Without strict gun control, shootings can happen in any city in the United States.
