Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) on Friday pushed back on President Trump’s threat to target Chicago next in the Trump administration’s crackdown on crime following a sweeping takeover in the nation’s capital.

“As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, we’ll call it out for what it is,” Pritzker wrote in a lengthy thread on social platform X “Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they’re causing — from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions.”

Yuh know Guv, if someone stripped away the copious amounts of food you eat it would be good for you.

It’s not a game, fat boy. As you’ll find out soon enough.

of distractions

Funny.

Insane clowns.

[MrRelevant]

Creates chaos? This is the leftist mentality. Actions designed to promote peace are bad….they hate law and order.

My favorite Trump diss of Fat Boy.

He got kicked out of the family business.

They didn’t want him.

Back off of the Nat Guard talk and send in the Marines. Lets see if they’d rather play that game.

[Bon of Babble]

Jabba the Hut protecting criminals in Chicago. Typical Democrat.

[Gay State Conservative]

Insane? No. Depraved? Yes.

[blackdog]

There you go Chicago. Your Pritzker Private Equity Chief, thinks you’re a game to be played.

Pritsker: “We’ll sacrifice every innocent in Chicago to protect our own!”

[wbarmy]

Looks like the tail gunner on the short bus. What does the long bus get?

Well said.

Exactly.

That’s how depraved they are.

Fed-er-al-i-zation, come on! (to be sung to Celebration by Kool & The Gang)

Which just proves libtards ruin everything they touch.

[cgbg]

Yup—Pritzker is the classic trust fund baby—spoiled, stupid, arrogant...and an enemy of all decent and hardworking people everywhere.

This fat slob should go onto the resistance lines to fight the National Guard.

The Guard needs to bring very large handcuffs to fit around his fatso wrists. Also, I think he is due for an extensive “walnut shampoo”. What a pathetic sociopathic loser...and fat slob.

“...stripping away healthcare and food from millions...”

The Hill forgot to add the words “of illegals”...
