Donald Trump was going to stay in Chicago for the Republican convention, but now he will stay in Milwaukee after reporters started asking questions.
The New York Times reported.
When Republicans gather in Milwaukee next month to nominate him for president, Donald J. Trump planned to stay not in the convention host city but at the Trump Hotel in Chicago, about 90 miles away, according to three people briefed on the matter. presidential logistics.
That changed Tuesday afternoon, when reporters from The Times and the ABC affiliate in Chicago contacted his campaign for comment.
Mr. Trump now plans to stay in Milwaukee, two of the people briefed on his logistics said. The change avoids taking Wisconsin's largest city, a vital battleground, for granted.
None of this would have happened if Trump hadn't called Milwaukee a “terrible city” when he spoke to Republican members of Congress on Capitol Hill.
Trump knows he has a problem, so he tried to damage control at his rally in Wisconsin.

Because he couldn't keep his mouth shut, Donald Trump is apparently going to hold the Republican convention in Milwaukee. If the former president is caught trying to commute from Chicago, it could cost him a critical swing state in November.
