Donald Trump Tries to Break Another Promise

Government and Politics

MADISON, Wis. — On June 18th, reporting from the New York Times revealed Donald Trump made preliminary plans to stay in Chicago at his failing Trump Hotel and Tower during the Republican National Convention, rather than in Milwaukee. These plans flew in the face of commitments from Republicans to stay in Wisconsin.

“Nothing is more on-brand for Donald Trump than the fact that he’d rather stay in a failing Trump-branded hotel in Chicago than spend a single night in beautiful Wisconsin,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler. “Only after he got caught did Trump make an embarrassing about-face and commit to spending the night in the city he called ‘horrible’ just last week. We’ll see if Donald Trump keeps his word this time—but we’re not holding our breath.”
