Trump will visit Kenosha after governor, mayor urge him to reconsider
United Press International ^ | Aug. 30, 2020 11:13 PM | Darryl Coote

The White House said late Sunday that President Donald Trump is still planning to visit the Wisconsin city of Kenosha despite its mayor and governor urging him to reconsider as the city attempts to heal amid the unrest that erupted following last week’s police shooting of a 29-year-old black man.

“The White House has been humbled by the outreach of individuals from Kenosha who have welcomed the president’s visit and are longing for leadership to support local law enforcement and businesses that have been vandalized,” Judd Deere, the White House deputy press secretary, said in a statement. “President Trump looks forward to visiting on Tuesday and helping this great city heal and rebuild.” […]

The White House’s reaffirmation of Trump’s visit to the city came hours after Tony Evers, the Democratic governor of Wisconsin, urged Trump in a letter to “reconsider” as his presence in the community will hinder its work to heal. […]

Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian, in an interview with NPR’s Weekend Edition on Sunday, also said it’d be best Trump stayed away. …

Prayers for the President’s safety, and for the safety of all who will be with him.

This could turn into a huge relief, or disaster. I don’t like this move. The left is PISSED OFF.

i understand your concern...but sometimes you gotta just go to war.....even if you don’t want to.

it happens with mafia families, it happens with biker clubs, it happens with street gangs and it happens in government—as his happening now

like Michael Corleone says “Senator, we are all part of the same hypocrisy”

They want him to stay in DC where they can blame him from a distance. Well, now he’s there, say it to his face Democrats.

I think Trump knows he is hated more than anyone since W, and W was hated at least as anyone before.

I hope his security team is on the ball, so far they seem to be. Assassins that are willing to die for their cause are unbelievably on the march with the left. Nothing since 1917 in Russia. Or late 40’s China, Vietnam.. And so on.

There are people there who support him at least perhaps they can be comforted for all the damage that was done by out of towners torching their town.

I trust the President. Now that is not to say that some out of towners will come back and torch the town again but I do think they have been on alert and someone did tip the police about the ones who came to torch the town again but were foiled.

Joe Braindead would blame his own Mother if he thought it would get him and the democrats off the hook.

Screw the Left. This is our President telling them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

"I don't like this move. The Left is PISSED OFF"

Why should any of us give a crap what the left is or isn't pissed off at?

the hosts are local conservatives and the agitators are outsiders, so this is a good place for trump to appear.

agitators probably want to stay low since trump’s feds are probably well prepared. that said, it might be a good time for them to try to party, and for the result to be a warning to other agitators with grandiose designs.

I’m hoping there will be more supporters for President Trump present, along with whatever law enforcement, secret service, etc. that the a-holes will decide to stay home. He may have some Republican members of the House with him as well. Strength in numbers.

I think they’re charged up for murder. That’s why. You, me, the President.
