Illinois Governor Pritzker has ripped Trump a new asshole

[AverageOldGuy]

4:17 PM EDST ILL Gov Pritzker started speaking, is still speaking at 4:27.

He told Trump: "Mr President, you are not welcome in Illinois!" And then he really unloaded on Trump.

The Chicago mayor then spoke and beat Trump like a borrowed mule.

Their speeches should be online soon. Expect Lawrence to carry most of the speeches.

Now if only other governors will follow the lead of Chicago.

1. The Governor was awesome, hit all of the spots and made it abundantly clear that neither trump or the NG is welcomed in

Chicago. I really likes this man, smart, witty and does not mince words.

6. How? In what way did he "rip Trump a new asshole"?

He made a good speech, but I'm curious to know how that stops anything bad from happening.

Yeah, it exists here too....

16. Superbly done by Pritzker -- stunning. He's on my POTUS shortlist, now. nt

17. Could the Governor call his state militia to protect the citizens from Trump's soldier's? I am a simple person.

19. Trump* (*fart in old English) may not respond.

Coming just after the South Korean President Lee Jae Myung did an excellent job calling him out on his buddy and future golfing partner KJ-U .

20. Watched it. Pritzker was on fire.

21. I see this speech as a turning point

Pritzker went into detail, point by point, he called Trump many things, this is a new landscape and very hard hitting.

"a slip in your mental faculties" ... not "fit for the auspicious office you occupy"


That's putting 25A criteria into public discourse. Ringing an alarm bell.

Evident for all with 1/2 a brain, but that is really putting it out there.

We will remember this day. August 25, 2025. Chicago.

22. +1

"a slip in your mental faculties"

I thought that was significant. Any number of pundits or pols routinely, jokingly, suggest Trump is nutz. And everyone agrees in a generic way.

But that statement and the delivery was just...different somehow
