Friday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said President Donald Trump’s “unhinged” behavior was a sign he is “suffering from dementia.”
Pritzker said, “It was unhinged. I mean, watching his press conference today where he just as you pointed out, I mean, he just fell apart about this and attacked Supreme Court justices and could not understand why he could not wield this power that he believes is his that has now been found unconstitutional. So and what does he do? He turns to yet another statute that allows tariffs in certain circumstances. And now he intends to reimpose these tariffs that are truly devastating small businesses. They’re hurting families across my state. And as you saw, $1,700 per family, these are working families, $1,700. Remember, this is the guy who lowered taxes on the wealthiest people and he raised taxes, the tariff taxes on the middle class, the working class.”

Of course, you know where he’s enriching his own family himself. And then people like Howard Lutnick and others are enriching themselves also while they’re in office, it seems like, you know, the idea of doing public service and doing it for the right reasons, at least in this administration, out the window.”
Friday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said President Donald Trump used tariffs “like a mafia shakedown.”

They were illegal. I mean, it was just there wasn’t any room for doubt in that and that was 6/3 opinion. So, yes, the Supreme Court got it right.”
