President Donald Trump is encouraging Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) after a weekend of violence in Chicago in which 39 people were shot, and six people were killed. The violence includes a mass shooting on Friday night in the city, which left 14 injured. Trump posted his message urging Pritzker to ask for help on his Truth Social account early Tuesday morning. It was the second time in two days that the president mentioned the violent weekend in Chicago.
“At least 39 people injured, 4 dead, in Chicago weekend shootings,” Trump posted. “Governor Pritzker, I, as President, can fix this, FAST and Permanently. D.C., Memphis, New Orleans, all down to record lows, and quickly! CALL ME! President DJT.”
