WATCH: Trump: Cleaning up Chicago, not going to war with it

Responding to Democrat criticism that he is going to war with an American city, President Donald Trump on Sunday denied that this is what he is doing, The Hill reported.

NEWSMAX -- Asked whether he was "threatening to go to war with Chicago," Trump told reporters that "we're not going to war. We're going to clean up our cities. We're going to clean them up, so they don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war. That's common sense."

Trump on Saturday posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of his likeness as a law enforcement officer, with a background that included a depiction of Chicago burning, several helicopters, and text that read, "Chipocalypse Now."

The president also wrote that Chicago is "about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR."
