President Donald Trump is calling out Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, warning him not to block federal reinforcements in crime-ravaged Chicago — a city Trump has branded “the murder capital of the world.”
Trump’s Warning: “We’re Coming”
Trump put Pritzker on notice after a bloody Labor Day weekend left Chicago residents reeling.
“Over the holiday weekend in Chicago, more than 50 people were shot and at least 8 lives were lost,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It’s been the same story for weeks. Chicago has become the most violent, dangerous city in the world. Gov. Pritzker desperately needs help, even if he doesn’t realize it yet.”
The 45th President promised a swift fix if state leaders step aside:
“I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in D.C. Chicago will be safe again, and soon. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Democrats Blocking Law and Order
Trump blasted blue-state governors who refuse federal support. While praising D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for cooperating and driving crime down, he singled out leaders like Pritzker, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, California Gov. Gavin “Newscum” Newsom, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
“Instead of justifying violent crime, these politicians waste time playing politics,” Trump wrote. “Wouldn’t it be nice to say that about Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and the crime-drenched city of Baltimore?”
Proof Federal Help Works
Trump pointed to the nation’s capital as proof.
“Mayor Bowser’s approval jumped by 25% after teaming up with us to bring crime under control. That rise didn’t happen by chance — it took toughness, common sense, and real leadership.”
He also reminded voters that during Los Angeles riots and fires, federal reinforcements saved the city from collapse:
“If we hadn’t gone in early, L.A. would have lost the Olympics.”
Trump’s Final Word: Don’t Go Woke
Even while praising Bowser, Trump warned her and other Democrats not to relapse into soft-on-crime policies:
“Congratulations to Mayor Muriel Bowser, but don’t go woke on us.”
