Donald Trump’s transparent attempt to portray himself as a lover of Wisconsin came hard on the heels of reporting he had called Milwaukee, the host of the upcoming RNC convention called Milwaukee, the host of the upcoming RNC convention, a “horrible city,” Oh sure, Trump and the RNC furiously tried to spin his smear of the swing state as a lie, yet Trump all but owned up to it.
In case you had any doubt that Trump really did stick his foot in his mouth about Wisconsin, his clumsy, obviously insincere and faint praise during a Tuesday rally in Racine should convince you.
In the clip above, Trump was whining about the “beautiful life” he would have had with 200 fewer lawyers. Then he seemed to remember that he wanted to talk nice about Wisconsin. “But this is a beautiful life,” he suddenly said. “This is far more beautiful. What’s better, being with you right now – look at that beautiful lake.” In the video, he appears to have his back to the lake. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he had no idea he was praising Lake Michigan.
