Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and President Donald Trump engaged in a heated exchange. Trump criticized Pritzker's weight, prompting a sharp retort from Pritzker, who questioned Trump's own fitness. The conflict arises amidst Trump's consideration of deploying the National Guard in Chicago to combat crime, a move opposed by Pritzker and Chicago leaders. Trump cited high murder rates in Chicago to justify his actions, although data suggests a recent decrease in crime. Pritzker vehemently rejected Trump's intervention, calling it a dangerous power grab.
