Trump tells America's richest county it's doing 'lousy', apparently mistakes it for somewhere else
http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Trump-Loudoun-Virginia-gaffe-rally-lousy-9099625.phpLife on the campaign trail is certainly a grind, but if you want to win America's hearts and minds, it's good to know your audience a bit better than this.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made a stop in Loudoun County, Virginia on Tuesday. Loudoun County is often listed as America's richest county, with a median income well over $100,000. So attendees at his Ashburn rally may have been surprised to hear this:
"You're doing lousy over here, by the way," Trump told the crowd. "I hate to tell you."...
He goes on to cite the closure of multiple factories, including Ball Corp., in Bristol (six hours away), Smithfield Foods Inc., in Hampton Roads (three hours away) and Stanley Furniture (in North Carolina).
