Trump clearly said on Monday that he wanted to send troops from the National Guard to Chicago by attacking the city and the Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker.

Trump said:
I said to some of the people who, in a way, you really want to ask yourself to go. You know, I hate to burst into a city and then be horribly treated with corrupt politicians and bad politicians, like a guy like Pritzker. He should spend more time in the gymnasium. In fact, this guy is a disaster.
Gavin Newsom is a disaster. When we went, we saved Los Angeles. You could not have had the Olympic Games in Los Angeles. You are barely able to have it now. They lost 25,000 houses against a fire. This should never have happened because they did not let the water come down from the northwest of the Pacific, which you do not want to write. I had to enter the water supply to drop the water, and even now we want more. We can have much more. It is less than half of what should happen. I don’t know, they have a political thing about it. It’s like the craziest thing I have ever seen.
Trump also described Chicago as murder, which was completely inaccurate. Chicago experienced a 40% drop in shootings, a historic drop in violent crimes and a 32% drop in murders The first half of 2025.
If Trump thinks that the murders are in Chicago, that’s because that’s what Fox News tells him.
It is not a coincidence that governors considering 2028 presidential campaigns suddenly sees the troops of the National Guard deployed to fight against the waves of imaginary crime.
All cities deal with crime problems.
It is the summit of an arrogant illusion for one of the most obese presidents in American history to tell a governor to go to the gymnasium. The next time Donald Trump will work in a gymnasium will be the first.
Trump is sadly famous for avoiding exercise because he thinks that people have only the finite amount of energy in their bodies and that energy should not be exhausted by exercise.
Donald Trump is not a person who should criticize the weight or physical form of anyone. The fact that he criticizes Governor Pritzker suggests that he considers him a formidable adversary.
Trump would have planned to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. The answer will be the next step in the fight for democracy.
