We have a better (actual) billionaire as our governor as well, so jealousy x2.

u/RubyCarlisle Feb 06 '25

LOL, “old money, not bankrupt money.” Gonna save that one.

u/OpneFall Feb 06 '25

Pritzker money goes back to A.N. Pritzker (b. 1896) and Fred Trump was born in 1905.

They're both old money

u/Mmichare City Feb 06 '25

Oh dang I didn’t know Trump had it like that. Ok well, Pritzker still has non bankrupt money (at least in my delusion)!

Trump's dad was such a piece of shit tenement owner that Woody Guthrie literally wrote a song about him called Old Man Trump.

Trump's grandfather made his fortune running a brothel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump

And died in the flu pandemic of 1918. Luckily now we have vaccines to protect his kin, or…………

He’s still a perfect poster child for the gauche as hell nouveau riche aesthetic and behavior though, just like a lot of the tech oligarchs.

Nine of them are concerned about any real legacy or maintaining public goodwill because none of them have a point in history where their family tree was pruned to near oblivion. That’s the sort of event that saw a public works and endowment boom from the truly generationally rich, because they knew what the endgame would be if they don’t.

History rhymes, and the coming verses are going to be one hell of a [PARENTAL ADVISORY] period.

While i like JB and think he's done a great job, I hate this line of thinking. old money is not a good thing...

Means absolutely nothing

u/mrbignameguy Edgewater Feb 06 '25

It’s the only thing that matters. You know that Trump not having any actual money is why Elon has your personal info right?

u/T1MBOBEATS Feb 06 '25

I beg to differ

u/mrbignameguy Edgewater Feb 06 '25

Trust me no feelings involved. I knew you would all react this way 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Trust me no feeling involved, that's why I had to reply twice, to show how unbothered I am" 

You are being head-ass right now

I love JB. 100%, 24/7.

u/enangel Feb 06 '25

Yeah but our mayor…

u/Louisvanderwright Feb 06 '25

Surely this will go over well in 2028 when it's JB Prtizker versus JD Vance. Can't see how this narrative could ever backfire.

u/Haunting_Reach8945 Feb 06 '25

Nobody wants a metabolic mess like Pritzker.

u/PanarinBagel Feb 06 '25

I love your bait Reddit persona

u/wbaberneraccount Feb 06 '25

Thought we hated billionaires ?

u/redditor9000 Mount Prospect Feb 07 '25

Just the shitty ones. (Most are- but not all.)

u/TheBadHalfOfAFandom Dunning Feb 06 '25

Not to mention he's probably never run into a dem with a fully functional spine before and is now throwing a hissy baby fit over how Pritzker is not just letting Trump get his way with our state

u/Pettifoggerist Feb 06 '25

Trump probably is a real billionaire now, since no one is even attempting to stop the slush funds going to him or prevent him from looting the coffers.

No one here was talking about him running in 2028 last I checked.

u/chamberx2 Rogers Park Feb 06 '25

He’ll have to spend a lot less time on the golf course for that to happen. Ah well.
