Confused Trump, 79, Demands Troop Deployment Over Fictional Shopping Center [View all]

President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Chicago over a distressed shopping center that does not exist.

“The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City,” the 79-year-old president raged in a Truth Social post just past midnight on Tuesday.

“CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!” he added.

There is no “Miracle Mile Shopping Center” in Illinois’ largest city. While there are shopping districts with that name in California, Florida, New York, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, it would not appear the president plans to stage a military intervention in Chicago by dispatching personnel to other cities between 800 and 2,000 miles away.
