Pritzker Claims Trump Can’t Think Straight

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) has taken his feud with President Donald Trump to a new level. On Tuesday, the Democrat governor accused Trump of suffering from “dementia” and openly called for the 25th Amendment to be used to remove him from office.

The latest attack came after Trump ordered federal agents and a limited number of National Guard troops to Chicago, a city plagued by violent crime, gang activity, and waves of illegal immigration. Trump’s move was intended to assist law enforcement, safeguard ICE personnel, and protect federal facilities that have repeatedly come under threat.

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor." pic.twitter.com/v9gb2OhhcJ

Pritzker seemed particularly rattled by Trump’s comments earlier in the day at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, where the President suggested that National Guard units could benefit from training exercises in crime-ridden cities like Chicago. According to Trump, deploying the Guard in real-world environments would strengthen readiness while addressing lawlessness.
