with each day, the antics of the senile deranged failed businessman posturing as the "leader of the free world" becomes
increasing bizarre and unhinged
"On Saturday morning, US President Donald Trump declared war on the third-largest city in the country, Chicago. His Truth Social account posted an elaborate graphic image showing Trump directing a wave of attack helicopters against the city’s skyline, alongside the headline “Chipocalypse Now.”
Both the image, the title and the accompanying phrase, “I love the smell of deportations in the morning,” refer to the 1979 Vietnam War film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Apocalypse Now. The graphic, apparently put together using AI at Trump’s direction, puts Trump in the role of the crazed officer and war criminal portrayed by Robert Duvall, who loved “the smell of napalm in the morning” as American imperialism murdered the Vietnamese population.
Towards the bottom of the image is written: “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR.” Trump was boasting about his executive order, signed Friday, to rename the Department of Defense, the largest military establishment on the planet, the Department of War.
A more appropriate name would be the Department of Civil War, as the Trump administration is targeting the American population with the violence of the military-police apparatus. Trump and his aides have made clear that the deployments in D.C. and Chicago will be followed by dozens of other US cities.
These actions are without precedent and have no legal or constitutional foundation. Trump declared he would be a dictator “from day one,” and he is now proving that this was not an exaggeration. He is reveling in violence and illegality. The question is not whether dictatorship is a danger—it is already being erected, step by step, in full view of the world.
The assault on immigrants is a spearhead for a broader assault on the entire working class. Last week nearly 500 workers were seized in a single raid at Hyundai’s Georgia construction site, with over 300 from South Korea, the largest immigration raid in US history. This was followed by the rounding up of immigrants and US citizens working at a granola bar factory in Cato, New York on Sunday.
Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan announced Sunday that Chicago and other “sanctuary cities” should expect mass raids backed by National Guard troops. Meanwhile, troops are being mobilized in Louisiana for deployment in New Orleans.
