The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow National Guard troops into Chicago after a lower court sided with the governor and blocked the deployment.
Dementia is really taking hold on poor old pervert.
According to the article, he’s talking about Magnificent Mile (which is apparently more of a street with stores on it than a classic shopping mall, just to add to the weirdness of him offering to deploy the military to defend it)
It is a mall, being a broad street lined with shops and a promenade (though not wholly closed to traffic), but it’s not a classic “shopping mall” as the term is most commonly used in the US (that being a massive temple complex built to honor consumerism and featuring some very bad food). Which makes it even more patently absurd for trump to want to send troops to defend what is essentially just… a street.
(note that trump never actually calls it a mall, he describes it as a “Shopping Center”, adding to my annoyance over this headline…)
What mall is he trying to talk about?

So not a real mall. Got it
