Former President Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Milwaukee just weeks before the city hosts the Republican National Convention. Trump, who was reported to have used the word 'horrible' in reference to Milwaukee in a closed-door meeting, clarified his stance during an event in Racine, Wisconsin, stating, 'I love Milwaukee.' Several allies suggested that Trump's initial comment may have been in relation to concerns about crime and voter fraud.
Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, played a pivotal role in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. Trump's event in Racine had a festive atmosphere, reminiscent of a small-town Fourth of July celebration, with supporters donning red, white, and blue attire.
