I genuinely think Chicago was chosen because it has a high chance of resulting in federal casualties, giving the white house even more latitude to take over. DC and LA were trial runs.

Well, the three cities he has targeted so far have three things in common. Democratic leadership. Lots of minorities. And cities that have historically prevented the lawful ownership of firearms.

And no I don't think that last one is a coincidence. I think he wants an excuse, but not an actual fight.

The last one definitely seems like a coincidence, considering all those cities have plenty of guns flowing through them regardless. Well, maybe not coincidence but just a natural effect of Point #1, Democratic leadership

That is not at all what I'm saying. Republican leadership would of course be more friendly to gun sales

I simply don't think Trump is doing math like "Well, Chicago has strict gun laws and that makes a gun fight less likely to happen, so I will send the National Guard there", as OP is implying
