CHICAGO, Illinois — Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker mocked Donald Trump in a speech at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night by hitting him where it hurts: his wallet. “Donald Trump thinks we should trust him on the economy because he claims to be very rich,” the governor said. “Take it from an actual billionaire.
