Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called Donald Trump "a wannabe dictator" who "wants to use the military to occupy a US city, punish his dissidents, and score political points." This came after President Trump said he was considering sending the military into the cities of Chicago and Baltimore as he targets a series of Democratic strongholds. He sent the National Guard to Los Angeles and Washington -- against the mayor's and California governor's wishes -- in June. Story by Morgan Ayre.
