On Tuesday morning, Trump sent out the following tweet, threatening to “send in the feds” in response to Chicago’s violence

If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible “carnage” going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

Trump’s tweet coincided with a segment on the Fox News show “The O’Reilly Factor.” A few minutes after 8 p.m., the program discussed Chicago violence and cited statistics similar to those that Trump had used — namely that there had been “228 shootings in 2017 (up 5.5 percent from last year)” and “42 homicides in 2017 (up 24 percent from last year).” One of the show’s guests, Horace Cooper, even used the term “carnage” to describe the situation.

The president also used the term carnage to describe inner city violence during his inaugural address. After denouncing “the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential,” Trump proclaimed that “this American carnage stops right here and stops right now.”

Earlier Monday, Emanuel criticized Trump for failing to focus on the important priorities of his new job.

“You didn’t get elected to debate the crowd size at your inaugural,” Emanuel said. “You got elected to make sure that people have a job, that the economy continues to grow, people have security as it relates to their kids’ education. It wasn’t about your crowd size. It was about their lives and their jobs.”
