President Donald Trump said he could fix Chicago’s crime problem “in mere weeks” if invited to help by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Trump sharply criticized the Democratic governor, calling him a “big, fat slob,” and urged state leaders to “get your act together” and let federal support intervene.

00:00They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass beef
00:06to allow the smoothies and all of the other things
00:08that they've been eating for this occasion.
00:10This was a really big occasion.
00:13But they've eaten every fattening food that you
00:16can eat.
00:17We work like — we wanted to really make them special.
00:20And they really are.
00:20They're, like, record-setting.
00:22I've never seen a turkey that big before.
00:24Are they violent at all?
00:25Will they attack as I walk over?
00:27Because if they were, I'll stay right up here.
00:30But, as you know, we're a tough-on-crime administration.
00:34We are tough on crime.
00:35You know, our border had zero people coming in
00:38for the last seven months, right?
00:40Zero.
00:41I mean, even I find that hard to believe to be —
00:43they had millions and millions of people pour into our border
00:47from prisons, from mental institutions, gang members,
00:50drug dealers.
00:52They poured into our country like we were stupid people.
00:56We're not stupid people anymore.
00:58But nobody has ever seen anything.
01:01The job that they've done on the — Tom Holman, Kristi Noem,
01:05the whole group — the job they've done on the border
01:07is almost like a miracle.
01:08We have — and the people that make these statistics
01:12that said zero, they've said zero for the last seven months.
01:15I can't — it has to be, like, a few people got in,
01:19but they say zero.
01:20And they're radical-left Democrats to do the scoring.
01:23So I can't imagine they did that for us.
01:26The truth is, we have no people coming into our country illegally.
01:30It's an amazing — it's an amazing statistic,
01:33and I'm very proud of it.
01:35And we have the most people working in the United States today,
01:40by far, than we ever had in the history of our country.
01:43So those are all good numbers.
01:44But instead of pardons, some of my more enthusiastic staffers
01:51were already drafting the paperwork to ship Gobble and Waddle
01:54straight to the terrorist confinement center in El Salvador.
01:58And even those birds don't want to be there.
02:01You know what I mean.
02:02Those are tough — I'd like to thank the president of that country.
02:05They do a rather efficient job.
02:08It's got to be the largest prison in history.
02:11I've never seen anything like it.
02:12And a lot of people are behaving on our streets now.
02:16You know, Washington, D.C., is a safe —
02:18it's considered a safe zone.
02:20This was one of our most unsafe places anywhere in the United States.
02:24It is now considered a totally safe city.
02:28I won't tell you about murders.
02:29We're having murders, like a lot of murders,
02:32on a weekly basis.
02:34We haven't had a murder in six months.
02:37And it doesn't sound good even to say that.
02:39We haven't had a murder in six months.
02:40But when you are averaging one, and even sometimes two a week,
02:47and you haven't had one in six months,
02:49you can walk with your family down the middle of any street,
02:52go to a restaurant, you won't get in.
02:55They're opening new restaurants all over.
02:58And it's really been a beautiful thing to see.
03:01So Washington, D.C., is now a totally safe city.
03:05And a year ago, it was a crime, criminal mess.
03:09We removed, Pam, 1,700 people.
03:11Korea criminals and people that came to this city
03:17from Venezuela and many other places.
03:20They were let out of prisons, and they came here.
03:22They were Trendeiragua.
03:23A lot of Trendeiragua.
03:24That's from Venezuela.
03:26And we got them all the hell out of our country,
03:28or they're in prisons now.
03:31And you can walk down any street in Washington,
03:33and you're going to be just fine.
03:35And I want to thank the National Guard.
03:37I want to thank Pete Hegseth.
03:38The job you've done here is incredible.
03:40And I hear you're having the same kind of success
03:42in Memphis, Tennessee, where you had an even worse situation.
03:46And Memphis, crime is down 64 percent in three weeks.
03:50And by the time you have four or five weeks,
03:52you're going to have it down almost where there won't be crime.
03:56And we could do that in Chicago, by the way,
03:58if they would let us.
04:00If the mayor was a low-IQ person,
04:04but he should understand this, this is a very serious thing.
04:08You saw all the crime that took place last night,
04:10the night before, the woman with the burning.
04:13They burned the woman to be talking about that now.
04:16They burned this beautiful woman riding in a train.
04:22A man was arrested 72 times, 72 times.
04:27Think of that.
04:29And they'll let him out again.
04:30The liberal judges will let him out again.
04:33But we're ready to go.
04:35You know, we've been moving toward Chicago.
04:39We have a governor that thinks it's wonderful
04:41that only, like, seven people were killed this week.
04:45But we are moving toward doing —
04:47and we're going to — if crime gets —
04:49it's horrible, what's happening in Chicago.
04:51We could make Chicago a safe city in a period of four weeks.
04:59In a period of eight weeks, nine weeks, ten weeks,
05:01it would be totally safe.
05:03And the people of Chicago want us to go there.
05:06And if you look at the crime that's taken place in Chicago,
05:09in the last two weeks — just take a look.
05:11It's on the front page of every newspaper.
05:15It's out of control.
05:16The mayor is incompetent.
05:18And the governor is a big, fat slob.
05:24He ought to invite us in, say,
05:27please make Chicago safe.
05:30We're going to lose a great city if we don't do it quickly.
05:33Make Chicago — we'll do the same thing as we did in D.C.
05:37The same thing as we did everywhere we've gone.
05:40It's become almost instantly safe.
05:43And I want to do it in Chicago.
05:45So, Governor Pritzker, if you're listening,
05:48let's get your act together.
05:50Invite us in.
05:51We're going to make your place so safe,
05:52you're not going to have these crimes that are making the newspapers
05:55and the front page of every newspaper and television story,
05:59news story.
06:01We'll make Chicago a safe place very quickly.
06:05I looked at the various cases, granting mercy,
06:09discovering that the terrible trauma that everyone's going through.
06:14And I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke.
06:17I was going to talk about Pritzker in size,
06:20but when I talk about Pritzker,
06:21I get angry because he's not letting us do the job.
06:24So I'm not going to tell my Pritzker joke.
06:26They have a very cute little joke, you know.
06:29Some speechwriter wrote some joke about his weight.
06:33But I would never want to talk about his weight.
06:35I don't talk about people being fat.
06:38I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob.
06:40I don't mention it.
06:42On a more serious note, as we gather around the dinner table,
06:46I'd like to lose a few pounds, too, by the way.
