JB Pritzker's New Hampshire speech riled up Donald Trump Jr.. SOURCE: MEGA
JB Pritzker blasted the Trump administration during a fiery speech — and it didn’t go unnoticed. Donald Trump Jr. quickly fired back, warning that the Illinois governor’s words could put his father’s life at risk once again.
On Sunday, April 27, Pritzker told supporters not to stay silent while Trump “destroys the country,” sparking outrage from Trump’s camp.
During his speech at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s annual McIntyre-Shaheen dinner, JB Pritzker didn’t hold back.
The 60-year-old declared, “It’s time to fight everywhere and all at once.” He admitted it was a first for him, saying, “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption. But I am now.”
Addressing a crowd packed with donors and activists, he continued: “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They must understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone we have.”
While JB Pritzker’s fiery speech earned loud cheers in the room, Donald Trump Jr. wasn’t applauding.
He quickly jumped on X, writing: “Are you trying to inspire a 3rd assassination attempt on my dad? Two wasn’t enough for you?” The 47-year-old’s outburst sparked instant backlash.
One user fired back: “Settle down, drama queen. That’s not at all what Pritzker is doing or saying.” Another added, “Nobody has said such a thing apart from you. Are you inciting violence by any chance?” A third sarcastically commented, “Because a megaphone and microphone are obviously lethal weapons, right?”
The outrage comes just months after the shocking July 13, 2024 rally in Pennsylvania. There, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Donald Trump. The former president survived with a grazed ear, but two people died — Crooks himself and Trump supporter Corey Comperatore.
Just two months after the Pennsylvania rally shooting, another attempt rocked Trump’s world. Ryan Wesley Routh opened fire at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course while the 78-year-old played the fifth hole. Secret Service agents tackled Trump to the ground as shots rang out.
Routh later admitted to the attempt in a chilling letter titled “To the World,” writing:
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s approval ratings have hit rock bottom. A recent ABC poll shows just 39% approve of his leadership, while 55% disapprove — the worst rating for any president at this point in office since 1945, when Harry Truman held the previous record.
Still, instead of tackling the backlash, Trump has doubled down on controversial culture wars — most recently “bringing back” Columbus Day. That move reversed Biden’s push to recognize Indigenous Peoples Day, sparking both praise and outrage.
On Truth Social, Trump raged: “The Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much.” Yet, his claims about “reinstating” Columbus Day sparked little support.
One critic fired back: “Trump ‘reinstating’ Columbus Day claim is a sham. It’s still a federal holiday. He’s just stoking culture wars while ignoring real issues. Classic distraction from a man who can’t lead, only divide.”
