“It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he’s copying tactics of Vladimir Putin,” Pritzker said Monday during a press conference. “Sending troops into cities, thinking that that’s some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there’s some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, insane and I’m concerned for his health.”
Pritzker suggested that 25th Amendment be invoked to remove Trump from office.
Meanwhile, Trump called Pritzker a “loser,” blaming the governor for what he continues to call a crime problem in Chicago that can only be solved by sending in the National Guard.
“The family threw him out of the business because he’s a loser,” Trump said at a separate event Tuesday. “But we have to listen to Pritzker get up. He should call me and say, ‘get the troops.’ You ever you hear that? Eleven people over a week and a half killed. And I think it’s 48. When you add it up, 48 people shot. And then I have to listen to a governor say ‘how nice it is. It’s a wonderful experience.’”
Pritzker claims Trump’s deployment of ICE agents to Chicago is part of a broader plan to militarize American cities.
“We need comprehensive immigration reform, that is what will matter and what we can do when it comes to troops being sent into Chicago and to the state of Illinois is to immediately go to court,” Pritzker said.
It is not clear when the National Guard will be deployed to Chicago, although the president maintains troops are coming the Windy City.
