Everyone isn\u2019t happy about it, and one of those is Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who now sends a brutal verdict on Trump, claiming the president suffers from dementia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is facing heavy criticism from the state of Illinois over his decision to deploy Texas National Guard troops in the state. The National Guard, with around 500 members, is based at an Army Reserve station about an hour southwest of Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>They are mobilized for an initial period of 60 days; however, an ongoing lawsuit is challenging their deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s decision has been praised by many of his supporters and Republican officials, but Democrats and officials in Illinois are showing their anger and frustration. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.<\/p>\n<p>After criticizing Trump, the president responded by making a shocking statement saying both Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson \u201cshould be in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers!\u201d Trump\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115338509988551290\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-illinois-gov-jb-pritzker-claims-donald-trump-suffering-dementia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Illinois Gov.

Instead, the Governor is now attacking Donald Trump, accusing him of \u201csuffering dementia\u201d in what can only be described as an escalation of their feud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a man who\u2019s suffering dementia,\u201d Pritzker said on Tuesday, per\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/2025\/10\/07\/gov-jb-pritzker-says-president-trump-deploying-troops-to-chicago-due-to-dementia-and-obsessive-fixations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Chicago Tribune.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThis is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can\u2019t get it out of his head, he doesn\u2019t read. He doesn\u2019t know anything that\u2019s up to date. It\u2019s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker added, \u201cAnd then, unfortunately, he has the power of the military, the power of the federal government to do his bidding, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is said to soon undergo his \u201cannual medical inspection,\u201d although he did one earlier this year. Meanwhile, fears for his health have been raised numerous times earlier this year, particularly due to his hands.<\/p>\n<p>Last spring was the first time the mark on Trump\u2019s dominant hand was noticed, when he appeared in court for his hush money trial against Stormy Daniels. The president has been pictured with bruises on his hand on several occasions since then, such as in February when he met with French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-donald-trump-s-health\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Donald Trump\u2019s health<\/h2>\n<p>According to the White House, the bruising and wrinkles have nothing to do with Trump\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to claim that the bruising is simply the result of a lot of handshaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history,\u201d Ms Leavitt said. \u201cHis commitment is unwavering and he proves that every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before he and his wife, Melania, attended the Kennedy Center premiere of Les Mis\u00e9rables in mid-June, social media users noticed the bruising once again.<\/p>\n<p>Per the Economic Times, Dr. Ola Otulana, a general practitioner and doctor at the Cassiobury Court rehabilitation facility in Watford, England, stated that the bruise on the president\u2019s right hand seems \u201cconsistent with a superficial contusion. The doctor added that it could have resulted from \u201cminor trauma\u201d like bumping into something, or perhaps even from a blood draw.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your take on the ICE deployment in Illinois?
