Gov. JB Pritzker Is Why Trump Chickened Out On Sending Troops To Chicago.

[elleng]

A close look at Trump's remarks on why he is sending troops to Memphis instead of Chicago gives a big hint about why Trump is going to a city in red-state Tennessee instead of blue-state Illin

In Trump’s recent Fox and Friends appearance, he tried to change the subject away from Charlie Kirk, because he already knew what the rest of the country was about to find out. The person who shot Charlie Kirk wasn’t a “radical left Democrat,” but a Republican who shot Kirk, who reportedly shot Kirk for not being conservative enough.

It was the other piece of information that Trump slid into the conversation that got buried in the headlines that deserves more attention.

Trump announced that he would be sending National Guard troops to Chicago, but instead, he is sending them to Memphis, Tennessee.

Why Memphis? Trump dropped a big hint in the announcement.

Trump said:

 We're going to Memphis. Memphis is, that's the next city. Deeply troubled, and the mayor is happy. He's a Democrat, mayor. The mayor is happy. And the Governor, Tennessee, the governor's happy, deeply troubled. We're gonna fix that. Just like we did Washington.

I would've preferred going to Chicago.

1. Bullies do not get into fights they know they might lose

Bullies know they stand on fragile ground. They know real leaders will move the ground out from under them

Gov. JB Pritzker is a REAL leader, and one who cares about people, can't be bought, and won't put up with flim flam bullies

4. Pritzker's got more $$$$ than Trump. He probably doesn't want to piss off someone who can hurt his portfolio.

The family owns the Hyatt Corporation among other things.

The Pritzkers are one of the wealthiest families in the US.

5. afaik, jb never had anything to do w the hotels.

just pointing that out. he actually had to sue for his inheritance. the family basically disowned his mom.

6. Thanks for the info. But $$$$ speaks with Trump.

9. tru dat.

he’s done a lot w that money. he had a tech incubator that was da bomb. he’s got the kind of money u cant spend w/o making more.

2. He didn't want to mess with a court verdict at this time...

...so he can continue to send in troops into blue cities and "normalize" it with the voting public. Who can be against law and order and bringing the crime rate down, no matter how it is done?

7. There's also a practical reality that winter will come soon

Morale would plunge along with the temps.

We’ll see if he tries again next summer or moves on to another distraction before the elections.

8. Since when did Trump give a shit about troop morale?

This is the same guy that called them "Suckers & Losers"

3. Go JB!

10. The National Guard may not be there, but ICE is still taking people away.

11. Dems need to get tough on crime like our constituents want.

Is it absolutely unacceptable that Trump is planning on sending the National Guard to US cities? Absolutely. Unacceptable.

But that doesn't mean that he won't. He probably will. And he'll get a drop in the murder rate most likely. And our Dems who live in those cities, most of whom want more and better policing, will have a hard time not being happy about it.

And Trump will probably see the National Guard forced out of the city by court order, as should happen in America. But, unfortunately, it will be after he eats way too much of our political lunch over the issue.

We need to get ahead of Trump!
