President Donald Trump spoke Wednesday about the rampant violence in America's major cities and announced the beginning of "Operation Legend," which will dispatch federal resources and law enforcement to cities seeing major increases in crime.

"My vision for America's cities could not be more different from the lawlessness being pushed by the extreme radical left," the president said at a press conference. "That is why we are here today to answer the pleas of those crying for justice and crying for help. For those people in Chicago and other cities where we'll be, help is on its way."

"That is what Operation Legend is all about," he added. "That is why we are here today to answer the pleas of those crying for justice and crying for help. For those people in Chicago and other cities where we'll be, help is on its way."
