Donald Trump’s visit to Wisconsin on Tuesday could allow him to move past allegations he disparaged the Republican national convention host city.
billed as attacking “Joe Biden’s failed presidency.” But an open question is whether Trump attempts to clarify comments he made on Thursday as House Republicans hosted him for a closed-door meeting in Washington, D.C.
Trump has weathered other comments that Republicans say were taken out of context. When he warned of a “bloodbath” in March if President Joe Biden wins the election, made in the context of a trade war with China, his comments were interpreted as a call for political violence. But Trump’s remarks were nonetheless a “huge story” in Milwaukee, according to Bill McCoshen, the former chief of staff to ex-Gov. Tommy Thompson. Tuesday’s rally, he said, gives Trump an opportunity to counter the news cycle.
“Milwaukee is not Chicago or New York City. It’s a well-liked city in the state even if it has real flaws,” the first operative said, comparing Trump’s comment to President Barack Obama’s infamous “You didn’t build that” line during his 2012 run for reelection — a remark easily ripped of context and used as campaign fodder by opponents.
