Today's MESSAGING GOLD MEDAL goes to JB Pritzker, citing Trump's dementia AND "copying Putin tactics" [View all]

After President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested cities like Chicago should be used as "training grounds for our military," Gov. JB Pritzker said the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove the president from office, saying "there is something genuinely wrong with this man."

"It appears that Donald Trump not only has dementia set in, but he's copying tactics of Vladimir Putin. Sending troops into cities, thinking that that's some sort of proving ground for war, or that indeed there's some sort of internal war going on in the United States is just, frankly, inane and I'm concerned for his health," Pritzker said Tuesday afternoon. "There is something genuinely wrong with this man, and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked."

The governor's comments came hours after the president told senior military leaders that he has told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that cities like Chicago should serve as "training grounds" for troops.
