Trump on Saturday continued his threats to deploy ICE agents to Chicago with a post on his social media platform that evoked the 1979 Vietnam War film "Apocalypse Now."

Trump shared a manipulated image with the caption "I love the smell of deportations in the morning…," echoing the oft-quoted line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" uttered in the film by the war-loving character Lt. Col. Kilgore. "Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," the post continued.

The post is accompanied by an apparently AI-generated image of Trump dressed as Kilgore, with the Chicago skyline in the background and helicopters in the foreground, and the superimposed title "Chipocalypse Now."

Trump on Friday signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, although the formal renaming of the department would require Congress' approval.

"The President’s threats are beneath the honor of our nation, but the reality is that he wants to occupy our city and break our Constitution," Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson posted on X in response to Trump's post. "We must defend our democracy from this authoritarianism by protecting each other and protecting Chicago from Donald Trump."

The back and forth between Trump and Chicago Democrats has increased over the last week, with Trump calling Chicago "the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far," on his social media platform and declaring he will "solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in DC. Chicago will be safe again, and soon."

Violent crime in Chicago dropped significantly in the first half of the year, according to official data released by the city. Shootings were down 37% and homicides have dropped by 32% compared to the first half of 2024, while total violent crime dropped by over 22%, according to the crime statistics.

Trump hosted friendly U.S. House members, and some senators, for dinner to christen the new Rose Garden patio on Friday night -- an event he said was a “reward” for the lawmakers’ loyalty in delivering key votes related to his agenda.

“This is a special group, and it is true, there's not one person in this audience that I had a call to ask for help, that we needed your vote. You're unbelievable people,” Trump said.

Trump called the new Rose Garden the “Rose Garden Club” that he said would be a “club for senators, for Congress people and for people in Washington."

Friday night's gathering was the first event held in the newly renovated patio because Trump’s planned dinner with more than two dozen technology and business leaders on Thursday had to be moved inside due to the rain.

In his remarks, Trump suggested he would be asking the members of Congress for funding to “beautify” Washington, D.C.

"We're going to fix the roads, we're going to fix the medians, we're going to clean up the place,” Trump said.

He also took a victory lap in front of the group over the passage of his landmark policy legislation this summer.

Because he got everything he wanted in the bill, Trump said “We don’t really need any other votes” this session.

“The bill is unbelievable," he said.

President Trump on Friday was asked to weigh in on Florida's surgeon general moving to end vaccine mandates in the state, including for children.

"Well, I think we have to be very careful," Trump said. "Look, you have some vaccines that are so amazing. The polio vaccine I happen to think is amazing. A lot of people think that COVID is amazing. You know, there are many people that believe strongly in that. But you have some vaccines that are so incredible, and I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don't have to be vaccinated. It's a very tough position."

The president added, "You have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people. And when you don't have controversy at all, I think people should take them."

President Trump on Friday announced that next year's G20 summit will be held in Miami, Florida. Trump later said leaders will gather at his Doral golf property.

The agenda for the summit is being organized by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Trump said. The annual meeting brings together world leaders to discuss economic issues.

"President Trump's America First initiative does not mean America alone. It means America leads," Bessent said in the Oval Office.

Trump said he will not be going to this year's G20 summit in South Africa. Instead, he said Vice President JD Vance will attend.
