Trump Calls Illinois Governor Pritzker a ‘Disaster’ as Federal Crime Intervention in Chicago Faces State Opposition

Remember when our big cities were safe? I do. They were places you could build a life and raise a family. You felt secure. You felt proud.

But let’s be honest. That promise is a joke now for millions of people. For decades, liberal Democrats have run these cities into the ground. Now, they are cesspools of crime and chaos. Law-abiding citizens are left to fend for themselves.

The good news is, we have a President who wants to clean things up. The plan is simple. He wants to bring law and order back to our most dangerous cities. You’d think everyone would want that, right? Wrong. The biggest pushback is coming from the swamp politicians who created the mess.

The new front line in this fight is Chicago. President Donald Trump has offered to help the city stop its horrific violence. But the state’s governor, JB Pritzker, basically told him to get lost. President Trump, who never pulls a punch, said exactly what he thought about the governor.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

President Donald Trump took a swipe at Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) as he touted the success of his crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. — and discussed the possibility of sending National Guard troops to other cities in the hopes of seeing similar results…

“That guy is a disaster… I don’t like going to a town, a city, a place — a state, and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant.”

A Tale of Two Leaders

What we’re seeing here is a tale of two very different leaders. First, you have President Trump. He’s all about getting things done. He points to Washington, D.C. as his proof. “Take a look at D.C. — crime was rampant… For eleven days, there have been NO murders,” he said. That’s a leader focused on results.

Then you have Governor Pritzker. He’s focused on his own ego. Instead of dealing with the dead bodies piling up in Chicago, he told the President, “Do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.” Have you ever seen anything like it? The arrogance is just stunning. He’d rather let his city burn than accept help from a political opponent.

The Reality on the Streets of Chicago

The liberal media will tell you crime is going down. Don’t believe them. They are lying to you. Here is the cold, hard truth: Chicago has seen 262 homicides so far this year.

Think about that for a second. That’s not just a number on a spreadsheet. That’s 262 families, 262 empty chairs at the dinner table. This is what decades of Democrat failure looks like. And for Governor Pritzker to say that help isn’t “needed” is an insult to every single one of those families.

Hiding Failure Behind Legal Games

So, what do Democrats do when they can’t defend their horrible record? They start screaming and playing legal games. Chicago’s mayor is calling the President’s plan a “military occupation.” A “military occupation”? Seriously? Give me a break. It’s not an occupation to want safe streets for American citizens.

They know they can’t win on the facts, so they run to the courts. They want to tie this up in legal knots to block the President. These are the same people who love using the federal government to push their crazy agenda. But when it comes to cleaning up their own mess, they suddenly start crying about “states’ rights.” It’s hypocrisy at its finest.

The fight for Chicago is simple. It’s about results versus rhetoric. It’s about action versus political games. The choice is simple. Do we want a President who will fight to make our country safe? Or do we want whiny politicians who would rather rule over a wasteland than admit they were wrong? I know which one I’m picking.

Key Takeaways

• President Trump is taking decisive action on crime where Democrats have failed.
• Governor Pritzker is putting his political agenda ahead of his citizens’ safety.
• Chicago’s shocking murder rate is the direct result of failed liberal policies.
• Democrats are now hiding behind legal games to avoid accountability for urban decay.
