On Monday, President Donald Trump took questions from reporters, where he ramped up his threats to send the National Guard to cities including Chicago and Baltimore after having done so in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. Over the weekend, he threatened to cut off funding for the rebuilding of the Key Bridge if Maryland's Democratic Gov. Wes Moore did not allow the National Guard into Charm City. Trump also said that "African-American ladies ... beautiful ladies" encouraged him to send the guard into Chicago. Unsurprisingly, Illinois' Gov. JB Pritzker pushed back, saying Illinois "has at this time received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention." "Do not come to Chicago," Pritzker warned Trump.
