Illinois Governor JB Pritzker Playfully Renames Lake Michigan “Lake Illinois” in Video Mocking Trump
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a billionaire and amateur content creator, released a humorous campaign video on Friday in which he jokingly renames Lake Michigan as “Lake Illinois” and announces the annexation of Green Bay. The video pokes fun at President Donald Trump’s grandiose ideas, such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and his musings about purchasing Greenland or making Canada the 51st state.
Pritzker, a progressive Democrat, has been a vocal critic of Trump and has hinted at a potential presidential run in the future. The video, which also teases a forthcoming announcement about the Mississippi River, drew a sharp response from the Illinois Republican Party, accusing Pritzker of focusing on national politics instead of governing Illinois.
The video release coincided with a federal lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against Pritzker and other Illinois officials over their alleged interference in the president’s immigration policies. Pritzker dismissed the lawsuit as a distraction and vowed to stand strong against Trump’s attacks on Illinois.
In a statement, Pritzker emphasized the resilience of Illinois and its people in the face of challenges from the federal government. The playful video served as a lighthearted way for Pritzker to engage with his supporters and take a jab at Trump’s controversial proposals.
