‘Trump is rich in only…’: Billionaire Pritzker’s DNC speech viral; Republicans bodyshame him – Times of India

Illinois Gov JB Pritzker‘s speech at the Democratic National Convention went viral as he poked fun at former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as said that Trump thinks that people should trust him on economy as he is rich. “Take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing: stupidity,” Pritzker said.
“We have a choice, America: between the man who left our country a total mess and the woman who has spent four years cleaning it up.And I think it’s time we stop expecting women to clean up messes without the authority and the title to match the job,” Pritzker said.
“Vice President was a good title for Kamala Harris. You know an even better one? President.”
With a net worth of $3.5 billion, Pritzker is the richest politician in office but Trump’s net worth, according to Forbes, is more than Pritzker — $4.3 billion. Pritzker is an heir to the Hyatt Hotels Corporation and unlike Trump, his wealth is more stable.

But the Republicans tore into him, fat-shamed him and discredited his riches as he only inherited his family wealth having no business acumen like Donald Trump, they said. “JBs only accomplishment – after a lifetime of mediocre business endeavors, fake philanthropy, and failed attempts at buying public office – was spending $200 million of his grandfather’s money to win his gubernatorial seat in 2018,” former investment banker John LeFevre wrote.
Republicans pointed out that the almost everyone in the Pritzker family is a billionaire. “A fat jewish man brags about being a billionaire at a convention where their motto is tax the rich,” a user commented.
Independent candidate RFK Jr’s campaign director Amaryllis Fox said this is the hypocrisy of the Democrats. “Watching corporate fat cat JB Pritzker take the stage at the Democratic Convention to brag that he’s the “real billionaire,” right after Bernie Sanders pointed out the corrosive impact of money in politics, was the chef’s kiss of DNC hypocrisy. By the way, Pritzker’s sister is currently in charge of distributing billions of taxpayer dollars to the hedge funds slicing up the Ukrainian pie. After Biden/Harris spent hundreds of billions more — your hard-earned money — to prolong that war, and send weapons company stocks through the roof. That is today’s Democratic Party. Fat cats feeding fat cats. While working American families foot the inflation bill,” she wrote.
“Let’s not forget that fat demon slob Governor J.B. Pritzker’s cousin, Hyatt Hotels Chairman Tom Pritzker, was accused of raping a Jeffrey Epstein victim, and he’s most likely an Epstein co-conspirator,” one wrote.
