Moments before Donald Trump took to Truth Social to shoot down a report that his meeting with high-powered CEOs went sideways because he couldn't stay on topic, he attempted to clean up the mess he made by calling the 2024 Republican Convention host city "horrible."
Despite the fact that GOP lawmakers who were in the room with him admitted he did say it and then tried to explain it away to reporters, the former president was insistent and asked why he would make such a blunder.
On Truth Social, he claimed he personally picked Milwaukee for the July convention and that he believes he has Wisconsin's Electoral College votes in the bag.

According to Trump, "The Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a 'horrible city.' This is false, a complete lie, just like the Laptop from Hell was a lie, Russia, Russia, Russia, was a lie, and so much more. It’s called Disinformation, and that’s all they know how to do."
"I picked Milwaukee, I know it well. It should therefore lead to my winning Wisconsin. But the Dems come out with this fake story, just like all of the others. It never ends. Don’t be duped. Who would say such a thing with that important State in the balance?" he continued. before adding, "Vote for Trump, Wisconsin, I will not let you down!!!"
