President Donald Trump took to Twitter yesterday (January 24) to comment on the ongoing violence in Chicago.
“If Chicago doesn’t fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!” Trump tweeted.

Earlier today, TMZ briefly caught up with Common at LAX to get his response to the President’s proposed plans.

“I feel to help Chicago, we gotta take care of our own,” Common said. “Within the community, we gotta do things. There’s a lot of people out there already organizing and doing things. We need our state local people to do things. We don’t need that mentality so I’m not focused on the President right now. I’m focused on helping the people in the city and how we can do it.”
When asked if Trump’s plan to send in the authorities is a bad idea, Common simply responded with some laughs: “You think?”
