Democrats can’t stand the president. That’s pretty obvious.
And a blue state governor launched an all-out assault on President Trump.
In a stunning display of partisan blindness, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker took to the airwaves on MS NOW’s “The Briefing” to launch yet another attack on President Donald Trump.
The billionaire Democrat suggested that Trump lacks the sterling qualities once embodied by former President Barack Obama.
Pritzker sat through the grand opening of Obama’s presidential center and emerged convinced that the nation had tasted true leadership in the past.
“Sitting in the audience and watching the president speak, listening to Michelle Obama speak, and reviewing the history of his presidency, I must say, I’m reminded that there once was a time indeed, during most of my life, when we had presidents who exhibited character and honesty and integrity and kindness and empathy,” the governor stated.
“Those are all things that I think all of us longed for once again. And we were reminded that we can have that, we can have that and we don’t have it now.”
“But there is an awful lot of work for us ahead to do. And I think that’s what we were being called to remember and also called to do, which is the hard work of restoring our democracy, of restoring the kind of leadership that we really ought to have for the people of this country.”
This glowing tribute comes from a governor whose own state suffers under crushing progressive policies.
Pritzker then turned his fire directly toward President Trump’s bold vision for American strength.
He mocked the idea of expanding U.S. influence, treating practical talk about borders and alliances as some dangerous fantasy.
“When Donald Trump says that he’d like to make Canada the 51st state of the United States, he means it. He kept repeating it over and over. He thinks that Mexico is not our friend and that they’re not working with us. And indeed, they are our friends,” Pritzker said.
Such criticism reveals how out of touch coastal elites remain with everyday Americans.
President Trump understands that strong borders and fair trade deals protect American workers first.
Placing America’s interests above empty diplomatic pleasantries isn’t extremism. It is common sense.
