- Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker
“Your tariff taxes wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies, and sent grocery prices through the roof,’ wrote Pritzker, a possible 2028 presidential candidate and frequent Trump critic. ‘This letter and the attached invoice stand as an official notice that compensation is owed to the people of Illinois, and if you do not comply we will pursue further action.”
— “Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent a letter — and invoice — to the White House on Friday demanding $8.6 billion be refunded to his state’s 5.1 million households, roughly $1,700 each,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“This is a convicted felon who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He’s insecure. He’s a wannabe dictator. And there’s one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”
— Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), on MSNBC.
“I would say also that his personal attacks on me are just evidence of a guy who’s still living in fifth grade. He’s the kind of bully that throws invectives at people – because he knows that what he’s saying is actually commentary on himself.”
— Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), quoted by The Guardian, responding to President Trump’s insults about his fitness.
