Grandstanding for his own presidential run. Any such payment will never come out of Trump's pockets (which he's been lining with all the taxpayer-funded government money he can - including massively increasing the National Debt - at a furious pace since returning to office), but instead the from taxpayers of the entire country who have been similarly screwed and also left holding the bill for Trump's grifts. Pritzker knows this, and is scum for being no less dishonest about it in an attempt to use it to his advantage.

Every governor should be demanding the same for their states.
The federal government stole that money from Americans and should be liable for paying it back. They can't brag that they've made billions in tariff money when it was stolen from Americans. Because of their actions the federal government will likely lose billions if they were forced to pay it back which would be rightfully owed.
They wont pay it back though because so one is there to enforce it.
