In-town note 8: POTUS on Chicago / New Orleans

Prev note should have been #7.

POTUS said federal resources could be sent to New Orleans in addition to Chicago.

“So we're making a determination now, do we go to Chicago, or we? Do we go to a place like New Orleans, where we have a great governor, Jeff Landry, who wants us to come in and straighten out a very nice section of this country that's become quite, you know, quite tough, quite bad,” he said.

“So we're going to be going to maybe Louisiana, and you have New Orleans, which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks. It'll take us two weeks easier than DC, but we could straighten out Chicago. All they have to do is ask us to go into Chicago, if we don't have the support of some of these politicians. But I'll tell you who is supporting us — the people of Chicago.”

Spray ongoing despite POTUS attempting to cue pool exit with “thank you.”
