Democrats launch billboards in Milwaukee after Trump says it's a 'horrible city'

MILWAUKEE - Democrats are looking to draw attention to former Republican President Donald Trump's Thursday comment that Milwaukee is a "horrible city" by launching 10 billboards with his face and those words.

Democratic National Committee spokesperson Addy Toevs in a statement said Trump had "made his contempt for Wisconsinites and their home clear."

Wisconsin is a key swing state in the Nov. 5 election, which is expected to be a rematch of the 2020 race that pitted Trump, then the incumbent, against Democrat Joe Biden.

"The dislike is mutual — in 2020, Wisconsin handed Trump a one way ticket back to exile in Mar-a-Lago and sent President Biden to the Oval Office. In November, they’ll do it again," Toevs said in the statement.

Milwaukee is hosting the July 15-18 Republican National Convention at which Trump is expected to formally accept the party's nomination to run for a second term in the White House.

2. I still have childhood friends in the Milwaukee area

I've noticed a whole lot of pics on social media with messages like "Greetings from Milwaukee" and "Milwaukee Welcomes Trump". Every single one includes someone giving the finger.

I'm originally from Kenosha and my response to his diss of Milwaukee is f*ck that dude.

4. That's a helluva buy!

I’ve bought outdoor media in similar cities (former media buyer) and this looks like it will get thorough coverage. It’s an opportunistic event, which means you have to act fast. There’s a lot that goes into a buy of this size and production of this many boards is no small matter. Hope our Milwaukee DU-ers will comment or even take pics when the boards are up!

5. I take it there's a Video, too.. lol

TSF.. his OWN WORST ENEMY!

Of course the magASSES are Denying it.

Trump refers to Milwaukee as ‘horrible’ just before the city hosts the Republican convention

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, when asked about Trump’s reported remarks, said at a news conference, “If Donald Trump wants to talk about things that he thinks are horrible, all of us lived through his presidency, so right back at you buddy.”

U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, a Democrat who represents and lives in Milwaukee, made a nod to Trump’s recent felony convictions in her response. Trump is scheduled to be sentenced in New York on July 11, days before the convention opens.

“Once he’s settled in with his parole officer, I am certain he will discover that Milwaukee is a wonderful, vibrant and welcoming city full of diverse neighborhoods and a thriving business community,” Moore posted on X.
