Pritzker and Lightfoot Slam Trump's 'Military Proving Ground' Idea, Citing Mental Health Concerns
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot have slammed US President Donald Trump's suggestion to use Chicago as a 'military proving ground', with Pritzker expressing concern for Trump's health and mental state.
Pritzker, a Democrat, has been vocal in his opposition to Trump's comments, describing them as 'inane' and 'dangerous'. He has called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president who is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. Pritzker is not alone in his concern. Some political figures and commentators have echoed his sentiments, citing issues such as threats, instability, or incapacity to govern effectively, although specific names and detailed reasons were not provided.
Chicago's mayor and governor have both denounced the idea of sending troops into the city. However, Republican state lawmakers have welcomed federal intervention, arguing that it could help combat the city's violent crime rates.
Trump's comments have sparked fears about his ability to govern effectively, with Pritzker's call for the 25th Amendment to be invoked adding to the growing concern. The situation remains tense, with political figures on both sides of the aisle weighing in on the matter.
