The string of holiday weekend shootings in New York City, as well as Chicago, prompted a response from President Donald Trump, who tweeted at Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday evening that the federal government is “ready, willing and able to help, if asked!”
At least 17 people died and 63 others were injured in Chicago due to gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend so far. Two killed overnight were young, continuing a string of children fatally shot in recent weeks.
Chicago and New York City crime numbers are way up. 67 people shot in Chicago, 13 killed. Shootings up significantly in NYC where people are demanding that @NYGovCuomo & @NYCMayor act now. Federal Government ready, willing and able to help, if asked!

prompted a response from President Donald Trump, who tweeted at Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sunday evening that the federal government is “ready, willing and able to help, if asked!” & my tweet to you our Beloved President Donald Trump is, that we desperately need you more than ever, and you MUST win this November. As for both de Blasio & Cuomo, both of you should feel ashamed of yourselves, and much worse, and both of you:- Jump in the lake & vanish & get lost for ever. Even Dinkins was not such a disgrace as you de Blasio.
Somebody needs to inform the shooters that black lives matter.
Or perhaps the victims weren’t African-American. So then it’s OK.
The main thing is to continue defunding the police….
Let these animals loose around this loser’s residence. Let them take out the idiot city council members who idolize them.
This is what you leftist imbeciles wanted. Now you’ve go it. They’re coming for YOU next.
and to think,that this filthy traitorous anti-American communist swine had the audacity to want to become president
HOW MANY OF THE VICTIMS WERE BLACK?
By all means defund the police department and turn NYC into lawless city. What were they thinking? (I use the term ‘thinking” loosely.)
Vote Republican
This is Democrat design to unseat the president. They couldn’t care less about the loss if life – in fact it may help to serve their overall agenda! Why us Jews still vote Democrat behooves me!
Both he and that idiot Cuomo should resign and let people who know how to handle the mess these jerks got New York into do the job.
Best place for them is a virus infected nursing home.
