President Trump on Saturday attacked Illinois Democratic Governor J.B. Pritzker and again threatened to send National Guard troops and federal agents to Chicago to combat crime.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, said on Saturday that local police there wouldn’t cooperate with the federal security presence that Trump might send.

“Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing CRIME,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA,” he added.
