Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who strongly opposed the ex-president, assures that the city will be ready for the visit, but has expressed strong criticism of Trump’s reported disdain for Chicago.
“There’s no secret that the former president Donald Trump is an abuser,” he said. “He was quite cruel to many individuals in the Black press in particular.”
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker criticized Trump’s arrival, stating that he has consistently offended Midwestern cities and principles.
“Every time Donald Trump visits the Midwest he tells us how much he hates it,” he said. “He called Milwaukee horrible. He called Detroit corrupt. He denigrated Chicago police. His visit to Chicago tomorrow will no doubt be another attempt to distract from his flailing campaign, with as many lies as there are vacancies at Trump Tower.” The former President will speak today in Chicago.
