Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker takes aim at Trump with jaw-dropping accusation
Former President Donald Trump is facing significant criticism from Illinois officials over his decision to deploy approximately 500 Texas National Guard troops to the state. The deployment, authorized for an initial 60 days, is currently being challenged by an ongoing lawsuit.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has launched a sharp personal attack against Trump in response. Pritzker publicly claimed that the former president is “suffering dementia,” suggesting Trump has a fixed, outdated idea that leads him to target certain cities.
The governor expressed concern that Trump holds the “power of the military” to act on these impulses. This verbal assault marks a significant escalation in the political feud between the two leaders.
Trump had previously fired back at Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, asserting that they “should be in jail” for failing to protect federal immigration officers.
The article also addresses speculation about Trump’s health, noting public observation of bruises on his hand. However, the White House has dismissed these concerns, attributing the marks to frequent handshaking.
A medical professional cited suggests the bruising is consistent with a minor injury or a blood draw. The piece concludes by noting the divided public reaction to the troop deployment, inviting readers to share their own perspectives on the matter.
