The president is coming to Minneapolis. Don’t expect a warm welcome from city officials.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal ^ | September 27, 2019 | Dylan Thomas

Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election team is planning an Oct. 10 campaign rally at Target Center, but Minneapolis’ top elected officials were quick to denounce the president on Thursday after the announcement came out.

Not surprisingly, the official Twitter account of the Republican Party of Minnesota responded to the news in very different terms, describing the state’s GOP faithful as “overjoyed” by the president's fourth visit to the state in 16 months.

The news came just days after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will launch an impeachment probe into allegations the president pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president and could challenge Trump in next year’s election.

“Under ordinary circumstances, it would be an honor to welcome a sitting President of the United States to Minneapolis and to showcase all our city has to offer on the national stage. But these aren’t ordinary circumstances,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a statement released shortly after the rally was announced.

Frey said the president has shown “he does not value the perspectives or rights of Minneapolis’ diverse communities,” adding that the whole of the city “will not stand behind” the president.

City officials trashing of Trump will only motivate more Trump supporters
to go to the rally.

The concept is scalable.

That’s correct! He’s only interested in the people that will be packing the arena:).

I am thinking it will be cancelled because city officials can’t guarantee his safety.

Go anyway. Pay the price for freedom now so that your children don’t have to pay the price later....in the ground.

Mayor Jacob Frey, is a young snowflake, who is in way over his head. He’s merely a puppet, and his strings are being pulled by radical, leftist masters. He does what he is told, like a good communist soldier.

Maybe the city officials should leave town when he comes (run away, run away).

Trump’s probably thinking “don’t let an un-warm welcome go to waste”.

Why don’t the patriots of Minnesota shoot the finger at the dishonest media and democratic crooks and liars, and amass at least 100,000 at the rally. In the mean time, surround the offices of the media liars and chant “NO MORE LIES!” It should be done daily outside of the offices of CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, NYT, and all of the rest of the leaky liars.

Minneapolis, where a m*slim cop killed an innocent White woman. Minneapolis, where city officials got the cop hired. Minneapolis, where city officials protected the cop. Minneapolis, overrun with somalis. I wouldn’t expect the officials in Minneapolis to be happy to see Trump.
They want the country dead, and he wants it alive.

“Don’t expect a warm welcome from city officials.”

Daniel didn’t expect a warm welcome in the lion’s den, either.

I’m sure all of the local businesses will welcome the influx of cash.

No one depends on some bumfrick city government to guarantee anything regarding the president.
