Trump played Pritzker and Marvin the Martian like fools you two took the bait like hungry piranhas
Trump just wanted to see Putzger and Pinhead squirm. He’s going to let their policies sink them on their own
Let Brandon and JB swim in their incompetence. And avoid going downtown, while the smash and grabs hit an all time high. We are seeing the lefts reaction to logic through the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. JB needs to step up and say there is a crime problem, and that gang violence is a problem. Until then, Illinois will continue to sink. They just don’t get it.
Pritzker, his judgeships, legislative body, and other democratic run cities and states will never step up to acknowledge there is a problem with crime because crime, anarchy and spitefulness help their totalitarian agenda.
