It’s “War”?? Trump’s “Chipocalypse Now” — Day One

The opening: “You Think You’ve Seen ‘Shock & Awe’”??

(Trump posted this AI fantasy on Truth Social early Saturday)

“The president offered no details beyond the label “Chipocalypse Now,” a play on the title of Francis Ford Coppola’s dystopian 1979 film set in the Vietnam war, in which a character says: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” [AP]

(The Reality Update – Saturday afternoon):

Indianapolis Times:

Indiana National Guard troops will mobilize to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement with transportation and logistics across the state beginning mid-September, a spokesperson for Gov. Mike Braun confirmed.

Around 50 Hoosier guardsmen will help ICE officials with tasks such as answering phones, biometric collection, tracking expenses, entering data and maintaining vehicles. They will not engage in law enforcement functions or make arrests, the spokesperson said.

Meantime, outside:

Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker posted a defiant retort on X: “The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn’t a strongman, he’s a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.”
