Trump Advises ‘Slob’ Dem Governor to Hit the Gym While Threatening to Send Troops to His State

President Donald Trump attacked Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) during heated remarks delivered in the Oval Office on Monday in which he raged at the media and Democrats for not giving him adequate accolades for fighting crime.

“So, we’re going to sign, and then we’ll take a few questions, and we’ll tell you how good a job we’re doing,” Trump said before signing an order related to flag burning.

“We want to go from here to other places. But I was telling some of the people that, in a certain way, you really want to be asked to go,” Trump said, referring to sending troops into Washington, D.C.. He continued:

You know, I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians, like a guy like Pritzker. He had to spend more time in the gym, actually. Guy is a disaster. Gavin Newsom is a disaster. When we went, we saved Los Angeles. You wouldn’t have been able to have the Olympics in Los Angeles; you’re barely able to have it now. They did lose 25,000 houses to a fire that should have never occurred because they didn’t let the water come down from the Pacific Northwest, which you guys don’t want to write about.

I had to break into the water supply to let the water down. And even now, we want more. We can have much more. It’s less than half of what should be coming in. I don’t know. They have a political thing about it. It’s like the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

But 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. Like, take a look at D.C., crime was rampant, it was at the all-time worst. It got really bad during the Biden four years. And then I have a mayor stand up and say how crime has reached a 30-year low. Thirty-year low? People are being killed left and right. And it’s not a 30-year low. Think of it. So for 11 days, there have been no murders. The record goes back years where that’s happened. They haven’t seen that happen in years.

And then people stand up, and instead of thanking us, which they should do, and she’s not that bad. She’s better than most. But, you know, you have people. I watched in Illinois, Chicago. Illinois is a disaster. I have property there. It’s a disaster, what’s going on in Chicago.

And you get Pritzker, “He’s violating our rights.” I think this is another men and women’s sports thing. I think it’s one of those, you know, they call them 80-20 issues; I call them 97-3. I think the Democrats better get smart.

And, you know, politically, I hope they don’t. But actually, in terms of love for the country, I hope they do. Because it would be good to work together. So, I’m thinking about, you know, when I have some… A slob like Pritzker criticizing us before we even go there. I made the statement that next should be Chicago, because as you all know, Chicago is a killing field right now.

And they don’t acknowledge it. And they say, “We don’t need them. Freedom, freedom. He’s a dictator. He’s a dictator.” A lot of people are saying, “Maybe we like a dictator?” I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator; I’m a man with great common sense and a smart person.
And when I see what’s happening to our cities… And then you send in troops, instead of being praised, they’re saying you’re trying to take over the republic. These people are sick. But I’m really saying, and I say this to all of you, in a certain way, we should wait to be asked, because they have cities that are so, you know, out of control. So we go in and fix it, they take the full credit for it.
