The White House has launched a sharp personal rebuke against JB Pritzker, branding the Illinois governor a 'slob' after he claimed on national television that Donald Trump is suffering from dementia. This sharp exchange erupted on Tuesday, July 6, when Pritzker told CNN that the president is showing clear signs of cognitive decline, prompting an immediate response.
Trump faced a fresh wave of public scrutiny over his health during the Freedom 250 celebrations in Washington, D.C. Analysts and critics noted that the president appeared to slur portions of his speech on Saturday, 4 July, and struggled to stay awake during the evening fireworks display near the White House.
