Trump is no spring chicken. He’s not getting any younger either.
And this blue state governor made a wild claim about President Trump’s health.
Illinois Democrats are at it again, flailing wildly in their endless crusade to paint President Donald Trump as unfit for office. On Thursday, Governor JB Pritzker appeared on CNN’s OutFront and unleashed a particularly nasty jab, insisting the president is battling dementia simply because his statements don’t follow the scripted nonsense the left demands.
Host Erin Burnett teed up the attack by replaying Trump’s straightforward comments from the Oval Office about military options abroad. The president had made his position crystal clear: “I’m not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you. But I’m not putting troops.”
Burnett twisted the words anyway, wondering aloud if the careful phrasing somehow meant thousands of boots were secretly heading out. She pushed the governor for his take on what fresh chaos might be brewing under Trump’s watch.
Pritzker jumped at the chance to smear the commander-in-chief. “Look, you never know with Donald Trump and frankly, it’s not because he’s being wily. It’s because there’s something wrong with him honestly. So I’m very fearful that that there will be more troops sent there, that they’ll go into combat anyway.”
The Illinois governor wasn’t done. He leaned into the insult, claiming the president’s style proves some deeper mental decline.
“I mean, it’s clear that he’s not sure what he’s saying from moment to moment, and then he’ll, promise something and then not deliver it. He’ll say something, then he’ll say something completely contrary to that,” Pritzker stated.
“And I don’t know anybody that acts like that that doesn’t have some kind of a problem. And some kind of issue thinking things through. That is what I think. And I’ve been saying that for some time. I think he’s got some dementia.”
This pathetic spectacle exposes the raw panic gripping the establishment left. Pritzker and his CNN cheerleaders cannot handle a leader who speaks plainly to the American people instead of hiding behind teleprompters and focus groups.
Trump’s direct warning about troops sends one unmistakable message: America comes first, and endless foreign entanglements are off the table.
Pritzker sits in his mansion, far removed from the factories and farms where real Americans struggle under the weight of Democrat policies.
Yet he pretends to diagnose the president while ignoring his own state’s crumbling cities and fleeing businesses.
CNN loves staging these gotcha moments because their ratings depend on manufactured outrage.
Burnett’s loaded questions were likely designed to bait Pritzker into exactly this kind of reckless personal assault.
Pritzker’s attack reeks of projection. Democrat leaders spent years propping up a visibly declining predecessor, then act shocked when a vigorous president refuses to follow their weak playbook.
