Hiring The Best People - Again...

The GOP, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization, is now at a level of competence only matched by that presidential administration. For months now, the RNC's website on the upcoming convention in Milwaukee showed a highly suspicious skyline. It lacked well-known features of the Milwaukee skyline like the U.S. Bank Tower and the new Couture, which are visible for tens of miles around town. A reporter finally picked up on this, and did a Google reverse image search. The skyline they used was Ho Chi Minh City - as in Make Vietnam Great Again. Exactly how do you mistake such a radically different looking city for Milwaukee?

In case any of Trump's chumps thought they really care about the Midwest, since they haven't even the vaguest idea how a Midwest city looks.
