Trump teases moving the convention out of NC

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
·

I love the Great State of North Carolina, so much so that I insisted on having the Republican National Convention in Charlotte at the end of August. Unfortunately, Democrat Governor, @RoyCooperNC is still in Shutdown mood & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed...

...made by many thousands of enthusiastic Republicans, and others, to head to beautiful North Carolina in August. They must be immediately given an answer by the Governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced...

...to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican National Convention site. This is not something I want to do. Thank you, and I LOVE the people of North Carolina!

and incidentally spite all the Tarheels with the same gesture.

(And maybe, just maybe enough NC MAGA Magoos will put on their eyeglasses and decide that they’ve been insulted one time too many and flip North Carolina to the Democrats).

Conventions are a once in four years event involving thousands of people directly and tens of thousands indirectly. If they don't want the convention held they should say so. You can't wait until the last minute to give an Ok.

DNC Chair Perez is still planning on a in person convention in Milwaukee. The same would apply there. If Wisconsin or Milwaukee doesn't want it, it is only 2 plus months away, and they need to say so one way or the other.

OK to have thousands of people crammed inside an indoor arena for several hours two months from now - I would say allowing events like that would be part of the very final phase of re-opening.

That's just amplifying. You're doing his work for him.

Every other city turned the RNC down . Charlotte’s run by Democrats and decided to take the money and hold the convention even though it was hugely unpopular.

Trump seems really intent on killing his base.
