Trump threatens to find new GOP convention site if North Carolina won't allow full attendance

President Trump warned Monday that planners would be "reluctantly forced" to find a new site for the Republican National Convention if North Carolina's governor can't guarantee the party will be allowed "full attendance" at the event currently planned in the state's largest city.

The convention has been planned for the week of Aug. 24 in Charlotte.

In a rapid-fire series of tweets, Trump complained that Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is in "Shutdown mood & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed ... full attendance in the Arena."

He continued: "[Planners] 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!"

He only goes to Florida in the winter. For an August convention he'll pick that golf club in New Jersey he goes to the other half of the year.

in Miami. He tried to have the G7 there but was shot down. Larger, lots of rooms and restaurants and all his! Grifter in chief

Wonder if the clan will go for it. Still the heat of the summer and as miserable as can be. I'm sure that all will forever remember the smell of mildewed carpet from their stay. And the bedbugs are free.

‘Real Men’ don’t wear masks, they wear Depends, girdles, lifts in their shoes, ladies watches, fake tans and dead ferrets on their heads. Am I right MAGA? @realDonaldTrump

he won't have to worry too much about filling the venue. It will be a self-limiting crowd after a few rallies and the like kill off a percentage of the MAGAts.
