WATCH: Trump ROASTS Overweight Governor In Hilarious Rally Rant

Former President Donald Trump scorched Democrat Illinois Governor JB Pritzker during a rally at the North Carolina Aviation Museum & Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Speaking behind bulletproof glass, Trump derided Pritzker for his comments during Tuesday night’s Democrat National Convention.

“Donald Trump thinks we should trust him on the economy because he claims to be very rich,” said Pritzker. “Take it from an actual billionaire, Trump is rich in only one thing: stupidity.” A member of the affluent Pritzker family, he is known for his ownership of the Hyatt hotel chain and has been serving as the 43rd governor of Illinois since 2019.

“Illinois, I don’t know how it continues; you have this guy, Pritzker,” Trump said on Wednesday. “I don’t know, he’s too busy eating. He wants to eat all the time. Would you like a hamburger? How many do you want—five!”

“Would you like a hamburger? Yeah, okay? I’ll have five burgers, please.” He paused, letting the laughter subside.  “Who the hell orders five burgers?”

WATCH:

Democrats, including Pritzker, are likely to continue their critique of Trump’s economic and political ideologies at the DNC. The convention is set to feature prominent figures on its third night, with vice presidential nominee Tim Walz (D-MN), former President Bill Clinton, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slated to speak during the primetime segment.

Meanwhile, the Republican campaign is in full swing, with former President Trump and his running mate, JD Vance (R-OH), scheduled to appear together at a rally in North Carolina this afternoon. This event is part of their ongoing tour of key battleground states this week. Horse traders betting on who will win the White House in November haven’t liked what they’ve seen so far at the DNC this week. That’s according to online political betting markets, which are trending back in favor of former President Trump.

At Polymarket, where bettors can stake wages on whether Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris will win the election, Trump now carries a lead of 52% to 47%, a turnaround from pre-DNC figures showing him trailing Harris 48% to 52%, respectively. The change is a five-point increase in support for Trump and a corresponding four-point decrease for Harris, an overall nine-point swing that is a remarkable indictment of how the market is judging this week’s liberal spectacle in Chicago. Over $681 million has been staked on the betting site.

POLYMARKET, 8/19 (PRE-DNC)

🔵 Harris 52% (+4)
🔴 Trump 48%

POLYMARKET, NOW

🔴 Trump 52% (+5)
🔵 Harris 47%

A nine-point swing in the betting markets towards Trump during the DNC. They aren't liking what they see.

Riots, teleprompter glitches, and embarrassingly long delays in programming have been noted by critics eager to contrast the Democrats’ moment in the spotlight with last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee which largely carried on time and drew millions of viewers. Harris, who is expected to speak Thursday, has continued to shun requests for interviews or media availabilities, instead relying on spokesman Michael Tyler to make vague commitments about when she will do so. After Biden’s advisors anonymously lashed out at the DNC for carrying the program into overtime to the point that the president took the stage around midnight on Monday, Tyler absurdly claimed that extended periods of applause over the course of the night contributed to the delays.
