Speaking in a very funny video in series of comments that came in late August, when he was developing his plan to send National Guard troopers and multitudes of federal agents into the sanctuary city of Chicago to crack down on illegal immigration and violent crime, a plan he has since somewhat acted on, Trump roasted woke Illinois Governor Pritzker (D) severely, calling him “incompetent.”
As background, the feud has remained long-running in the wake of President Trump’s decision to deploy troops and agents to crack down on DC’s out-of-control crime problem, as he suggested using much the same tactics to handle much the same matter in Chicago. As a result, Gov. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) have kept hurling insults and commentary at President Trump, who has kept firing back.
For example, late in the afternoon on Sunday, September 28, about a month after Trump’s comments, Gov. Pritzker posted, “The Trump Administration’s DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.”
President Trump, as part of that long-running feud, ripped into Gov. Pritzker with a vengeance late in August. Beginning, he hammered Pritzker as an incompetent fraud who had been tossed out of his family business by his family, saying, “You’re going to fight me? Like this slob of a governor you have in Illinois is poor. Is poor guy got thrown out of his business by his family.”
Continuing, he kept up that commentary on Pritzker being an incompetent buffoon who was rejected by his own family, saying, “I know the family . . . Nice family. I like the family, but he was no good. He was they threw him out. He’s governor of Illinois, and he goes . . . ‘We don’t need [Trump’s] help. Chicago is the worst.”
A bit later on, President Trump ripped into both Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson, describing them both as utterly incompetent and unable to do their jobs effectively, saying, “In Chicago, the mayor is at 6% approval. He’s an incompetent man. He should have never been put in a position like that. He can’t handle it. You have an incompetent governor there.”
Adding to that, the president sounded off on California Governor Gavin Newsom, saying, “You have an incompetent governor in in California, Gavin. He’s incompetent. I know him very well. He’s incompetent. He’s a nice guy. Looks good . . . He’s got some strange hand action going. I don’t know what the hell is the problem. It’s a little weird, to be honest.”

He also noted that the Olympics will soon happen in California, and so its criminals need to be handled soon, saying, “All he has to do is call me and say, we have the Olympics coming up. We want to make it really good and safe, and I’ll put some really good, great American patriots in there, and you won’t have any problem. Don’t forget, it’s loaded up with some stone cold killers, some really bad people, some people that were just born to be bad. They’re criminals, bad criminals, dangerous, and we can solve the problem for them very quickly”
