WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump is returning to the state that foretold his 2016 victory and serves as the linchpin of his re-election effort.
Trumps visit to Ohio on Wednesday marks his first trip to the state since last years midterm election campaign , when the state was a rare bright spot for Republicans in the upper Midwest. But with Trumps path to another four years in the White House relying on a victory in the state, his nascent campaign is mindful of warning signs that Ohio can hardly be taken for granted in 2020.
Perhaps no state has better illustrated the re-aligning effects of Trumps candidacy and presidency than Ohio, where traditionally Democratic-leaning working-class voters have swung heavily toward the GOP, and moderate Republicans in populous suburban counties have shifted away from Trump. Its for that reason, administration officials said, that Trump keeps returning to Ohio this weeks visit marks his 10th to the state since taking office.
The visit is part of a 2020 Trump strategy to appear in battleground states in his official White House capacity as much as possible this year, said a person with knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly. Trump is expected to make similar trips throughout the year as he seeks to boost enthusiasm to counter an energized Democratic base. Its a strategy employed by previous presidents, both to leverage the prestige of office for political purposes and to offset the steep costs of presidential campaign travel with corresponding taxpayer-funded events.

Hey Ohio, really ask yourself what this traitor has done for you, with his new fucking budget proposal, that he just submitted to Congress?
Any money for jobs in your neck of the woods, nope.
Any money for infrastructure work for bridges and roads, nope.
Any proposals for health care coverage, nope, but his son n-laws brother Josh Kusher has a plan for you called OSCAR.
That just for starters.
So what has he really done, whine about this and that ego of his, and him standing in front of a mirror saying, mirror, mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all, you know like a narcissistic psychopath.
But you have done one of many things for him....................
You get to pay for his plane rides down to Mar a Lago to play golf, and you get to pay for his plane rides to your neck of the woods, 10 fucking times, while his cronies at GM just fucked 14,000 workers because this asshole says among other things electric cars shouldn't get a tax break.
Maybe you can bring him to a fish fry, after all the EPA says the fish coming out of the Cuyahoga River are now just fine and dandy to eat, after all his EPA "guy" says its a-okay , because his EPA "guy" is a coal "guy"..........................
And just maybe there will be some people protesting this asshole being in your state................one can only hope so.................

(70,489 posts)God damn it Trump and the republicans worked with the Russians and cheated
to get their wins in 2016. Russ Feingold was at >90% of wining back his senate
seat. It wasn't just the White House.
The elections in 2016 was and still is part of the largest international crime syndicate
in history.

Trump would like to believe he won the election based on his dazzling personality and leadership skills, though deep down inside, he must know he is just a puppet.
