"He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA," he added.
Pritzker said Trump is contemplating authorizing an "invasion" of Chicago with National Guard troops.
"It's clear that, in secret, they're planning this. Well, it's an invasion with U.S. troops, if they, in fact, do that," Pritzker said on Saturday.
