Overview

  • At the White House, President Donald Trump called Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker a "slob" and said he should "spend more time in the gym."
  • Trump said Chicago will likely be the next focus of his effort to crack down on crime, homelessness and illegal immigration, and he has considered sending the National Guard.
  • Pritzker responded that "it takes one to know one" on weight and argued that the president is "not in good shape."
  • The governor, joined by other Democratic leaders at a press conference, described Trump as a bully and said he lives "rent-free" in the president's head.
  • Health questions about Trump resurfaced after visible bruising and ankle swelling, with the White House physician citing handshakes and aspirin and diagnosing chronic venous insufficiency.
