If Trump says he thinking about something it will happen. I have visited Chicago twice in the past year and I can assure you there is zero reason to do this. I saw people everywhere just walking down the streets. But red America is under this delusion that Chicago is a crime ridden war zone so they’ll nod and go along with this

The plan is public. The troops are being readied. "Contemplating" means working out logistics. I don't think it will just be Chicago.
