Days after reportedly calling Milwaukee “horrible” behind closed doors, former President Donald Trump will rally with his supporters just south of the city in one of the country’s top battleground states.
Trump’s event Tuesday comes less than a month before Republicans gather in Milwaukee for their national convention, where they will nominate the former president for the third time in eight years. At a meeting with House Republicans on Capitol Hill last week, Trump referred to his party’s chosen convention host city as “horrible,” according to a source in the room.
A focus on crime Trump made crime in major cities a central pillar of his successful 2016 White House bid, and Milwaukee was a poster child for his “law and order” campaign against urban violence. During an appearance just outside the city that year, Trump asserted to a suburban crowd, “The violence, riots and destruction that have taken place in Milwaukee is an assault on the right of all citizens to live in security and peace.
