Trump reportedly calls Milwaukee a 'horrible city'

With just over a month to go until the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the GOP's candidate for president is reportedly criticizing Milwaukee, though his campaign says the remarks are being taken out of context.

"Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city," Trump said to House Republicans Thursday, according to a report from Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman.

Trump's campaign responded early Thursday afternoon.

According to crime statistics it's horrible

[ems]

The CRIME in Milwaukee and how the city is RUN and GOVERNED IS horrible!

[LilMisssmartypants.]

he said the CRIME is horrible and he is 100% CORRECT

[mikeprice]

Whatabout if my boat sinks from a heavy battery and sharks attack me?

[jasontaverner]

The point is... IT IS A HORRIBLE CITY! Every single road is cratered with potholes. The entire north side and near south side has the nation's worst rundown slums that haven't been touched in decades. Milwaukee has the nation's fifth-highest homicide rate. No license plates and running red lights is the norm. It's Public School System has been audited and shown to be completely incompetent and was $200 million dollars in the red, because it is a bloated bureaucracy run by the Teachers Union, that has bought and paid every democrat leader -- including the idiotic mayor Johnson. They just passed another referendum to raise already skyhigh property taxes for their public school system. They wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on a street car system nobody uses, and need to throw another $353 million at it.
But don't hold your breath hearing any of this from this WOKE TMJ4 News. They are wholly committed to lying and propaganda for the city's democrats.

It is a horrible city. I was robbed there.

[jeffc]

What part about that statement is not true? So much crime and blight!!!

[scottgg]

Surprised he didn't call it a sh**hole since that what it is.

[browngreen]

Milwaukee was a great place 50 years ago. Not anymore.

[marshamcafee]

Total lie as usual. He was talking about crime

[jeffc]

Name a Democratic run big city that is run well and is safe???? None.

[joshjohnson]

Notice how they talked over the video of him talking? LOL. How bout you actually show the unedited version of the clip so we can hear it for ourselves, instead of bought and paid for media just reading the daily narrative emails.

[mildredbialobrzeski]

Screw you people he never said that stop with the lies already. We see right through you people. It’s an every day event with you. You never give it up.

[Ragdollz]

He wouldn’t be wrong 💁🏻‍♀️
Milwaukee is a horrible city and it’s exactly why I moved up north after 50 years

[scottmatthews]

It is a horrible city. It's a 💩 hole! FJB!

[nbrrecd]

You all need to grow up and report real newsworthy items ... enough already!

[ron]

The key word here is "reportedly", just be honest and report the actual truth though it may be difficult.

[markstephens]

Sad but true. If you think Milwaukee is great, you deserve the public schools, crime, crumbling infrastructure, and inept corrupt governance.

Doesn’t mean it always has been, or has to be, but Milwaukee is definitely awful.

[madtown]

Come downtown see if you don’t agree with him. Just had a gun pulled on me in two seconds. I have the video of it . Last night there were about 4 fights. Took the cops 30 minutes to clear the streets. On a Wednesday night.

[laurelking]

Ok Milwaukee folks, show The Donald just how happy you are with his observation at the voting booth🗳️🤣
