It is a horrible city. I love Milwaukee but that’s the truth. You even admit it just in a different way. “We’ve come a long way making changes.”

[PaineStakingTruth]

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

Milwaukee had the 3rd highest violent crime rate in the US in 2023.

[groovytunes]

So now pointing out the truth is an insult
Maybe the real problem is the people who don't care about crime..

[jaygibson]

He said the crime rate is terrible. You just had a shooting, right?

[wisconsinman]

Unreal. He clearly said He Loved Milwaukee and the CRIME in the city was HORRIBBLE. Guess what? IT IS.

[Martin-dkwv]

Historic drop in crime nationwide, WHAT !!!!

[WillBrightback]

You know some bs is coming when you're introduced by Al Sharpton😂😂😂😂😂

[allenkranawetter]

Mayor maybe you should decrease crime in your city . Like prosecuting criminals

[lindapindabelinda]

Just wait until you get stiffed on the bills.

[MarJo]

Make trump pay for the facility, before they even go on stage. Hel rip you off..

[williamblake]

A smart political strategy would be to improve your city. Chicago or SF isn’t a good example for democrats. Wake up Milwaukee and heed the message.

[babyblue]

Dont forget, there were NO black people in the so called "Black Church" 😂

[DQuest]

I watched the real clip and Trump was talking about the crime. Get over yourselves!

[nothingbut]

Saying a city is bad isn't a personal insult to anyone but those that make the decisions.

[davidorth]

I drink Coors...why is Milwaukee a good place? Aren't clear bubbling springs in the Rocky Mountains better?

[Julia-ktz]

Beautiful Trump Today In Detroit!!! In The Black Church All Races were There!! Trump presenting Unity ❤❤❤!!

[nancyking]

They always take everything Trump says out of Context

[FingerSaluteDeepState]

He wouldn’t have to if it wasn’t so crime ridden

[JCChavz]

Al Sharpton is a real life bobble head. Incredible.
