Trump: JB Pritzker Is So Fat and Gross and Incompetent I May Take Over Chicago Too

I don't know if he can do this. It does put some pressure on the obese incompetent Pritzker to do something about runaway crime in Chicago (and throughout the blue areas of the state).

President Donald Trump says Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is incompetent, that he may send the National Guard into Chicago and will work to reverse the end of cash bail.

In announcing federal law enforcement actions in Washington D.C. on Monday, Trump said he may send the National Guard to keep the peace in places with heavy crime.

"And if we need to, we're going to do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster," Trump said. "We have a mayor there who's totally incompetent. He's an incompetent man. And we have an incompetent governor. That Pritzker's an incompetent. His family threw him out of the business, and he ran for governor."

Trump even went as far as adding to speculation that Pritzker is running for president in 2028.

"And now I understand he wants to be president, but I noticed he lost a little weight, so maybe he has a chance," Trump said. "You know, you never know what happens. But Pritzker is a gross, incompetent guy, thrown out of the family business."

Later in the day Monday, Pritzker said Trump has no right or legal ability to send troops into the city of Chicago.

"As to everything else that he had to say this morning, I guess I should say thank you for the compliment," Pritzker said at an unrelated event.

Pritzker said Trump is a cheater, a convicted felon and has declared bankruptcy several times. As to his political future, Pritzker said the only decisions he's made is to run for a third term as governor.

Trump also said he's got more he is taking aim at across the country concerning public safety, including ending no-cash bail.

"That's what started it in Chicago. I mean, bad politicians started and bad leadership started it. But that was the one thing that's central. No cash bail," Trump said. "Somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail before the day is out. We're going to end that in Chicago. We're going to change the statute."

Illinois ended cash bail statewide in 2023, being the first state to do so.

The Network for Pretrial Justice said in a statement Monday that Trump's policies hurt poor people and people of color, and that dangerous people are not flooding the streets. They argue violent crime has decreased since the start of no-cash bail.

Trump wants to end the post-George-Floyd practice of letting out psychotic savages on no bail (or almost no bail), nationally.

President Trump pledged Monday to push federal legislation banning no-cash-bail policies nationwide, calling them a "disaster" that fuels crime. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said she will author the bill, vowing to dismantle New York's bail reform laws and restore "law and order that puts America first."

Key Details:

Speaking at a White House press conference where he also announced temporary federal control of Washington, D.C.'s police department, Trump blasted no-cash-bail policies in New York, Chicago, and other Democrat-led cities. "Somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail before the day is out," he said.

Stefanik told the New York Post she would lead the legislative push to end Gov. Kathy Hochul's bail reform, calling it a "radical, dangerous and insane" policy that favors "criminals and illegals" over law-abiding citizens.

DC U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro backed Trump's proposal but urged further changes to local laws, criticizing the city's Youth Rehabilitation Act after a 19-year-old convicted of a bus shooting received probation instead of prison time.

I don't think Republicans will go along with a federalization of state bail laws, even if they agree that blue states should change their laws. Republicans have moved closer to Trump's blending of strong presidential and strong federal rule with a conservative agenda, but I'm pretty sure they will absolutely balk at federalizing bail.

Still, it's not bad to use the bully pulpit to make demands and criticize a policy that is literally killing people. (And raping people. And pushing people in front of speeding subways.)

Meanwhile, the woke racist incompetent geek Brandon Johnston has Chicago on the edge of bankruptcy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson sounded the alarm Tuesday about Chicago's finances.

"We have reached a point of no return," Mayor Johnson said Tuesday. "The systems that people rely upon -- education, health care, housing, our transportation -- they are woefully underfunded, and everyone knows that. Everyone knows what, you know, my commitment is to progressive revenue. I can't do this by myself."

LOL. Like this nasty Black KKK twerp is doing anything constructive.

...

Johnson said the state needs new progressive revenue options, but he did not name any specific plans.

The city of Chicago has a massive $1.1 billion budget gap to fill for 2026. Mayor Johnson promising has promised not to once again pitch a property tax hike -- which the City Council unanimously rejected for 2025 -- but said last week he's looking at creative ways to raise tax dollars.

The menu on that table appears to target Chicago's ultra-rich. Johnson said he is looking for ways to extract more tax dollars from the 127,000 millionaires who now call Chicago home, as well as the 25 billionaires residing inside the city limits.
