<p>President Donald Trump took a swipe at Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) as he touted the success of his crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. — and discussed the possibility of sending National Guard troops to other cities in the hopes of seeing similar results.</p>
<p>Trump began by saying that it was not his intent to have the National Guard “barge in on” cities — and that it would be better if mayors or governors who clearly needed help would ask for it — but that the results in the nation’s capital spoke for themselves.</p>

<p>“You really want to be asked to go, you know,” he began. “I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians, like a guy like Pritzker. He ought to spend more time at the gym, actually.”</p>
<p>“That guy is a disaster,” he continued, swinging at Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and legacy media as well. “Gavin Newsom’s a disaster. When we went — we saved Los Angeles, you wouldn’t have been able to have the Olympics in Los Angeles, you’re barely able to have it now. They did lose 25,000 houses to a fire that should have never occurred because they didn’t let the water come down from the Pacific Northwest, which you guys don’t want to write about.”</p>

<p>Trump pivoted back to the crime issue, adding, “I don’t like going to a town, a city, a place — a state, and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant. Like take a look at D.C. — crime was rampant, it was at the all-time worst. It got really bad during the Biden four years, and then I have a mayor stand up and say how crime has reached a 30-year low.”</p>
<p>After a pause and a glare at the gathered member of the press, Trump repeated, “Thirty-year low? People are being killed left and right. It’s not a 30-year low.”</p>
