MILWAUKEE — The Trump campaign initially planned to hold Saturday's rally at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport - but the airport denied the request.
An airport spokesperson tells TMJ4 News that the airport's director notified an unidentified tenant that all special events that are "non-aeronautical in nature" are in violation of its lease with the airport. Such an event would also be in violation of the City of Milwaukee's ban on large public gatherings.
"The concern for the Airport is the impact to airline flight operations, as the event originally planned for Saturday morning would require a ground stop, resulting in canceled airline flights for an extended period of time. We cannot allow any tenant to impact airport passengers in this way," according to Harold Mester, the Director of Public Affairs and Marketing at Mitchell and Timmerman airports.
The Trump campaign announced Thursday that the president will be attending a campaign event at Stein Aircraft Services in Waukesha Saturday. The campaign made no mention that its first attempt at a weekend rally did not get the green light.
President Trump is set to speak at Waukesha event, at 2651 Aviation Dr., starting at 7 p.m. Saturday.
This will only help Trump.
So have Air Force One “perform” .
No doubt some Leftist bureaucrat got wind of it.
No problem. They will find another venue, guaranteed.
The Trump campaign is used to this. I was going to go to a rally at the Reno airport last month but it was switched to the Minden airport at the last second.
I only had a few hours notice of the location change but luckily I was staying in North Lake Tahoe and either way the drive was 40 minutes so it didn’t matter.
So glad I was able to see him. I’ve seen four Presidents now in person.
Add all their names to the list...
Payback’s a bitch...
“...all special events that are “non-aeronautical in nature” are in violation of its lease with the airport.”
Is Air Force One or Marine One there?
Then it’s ***aeronautical in nature***.
Eff you, airport spokesperson.
I bet they would have told Barak Obama the same thing 12 years ago. Seriously, Democrats can be such rule-bound little pissants when they want to block something THEY don't like.
Waukesha has had riots over the past 2 months. Watch out. There are lots of Antifa in Waukesha. They live there.
“The campaign made no mention that its first attempt at a weekend rally did not get the green light”
Yeah that’s a huge story. What a soy boy punk Jackson Danbeck is.
Start the rumor that the same person is the one who got Summerfest cancelled. They wouldn’t make it til sunrise.
Waukesha is a much nicer place. I’ve spent weeks there.
I’ve said it before, they can do it on national park land, or outside the perimeter on military bases. Or they can just do it anyway, standing room only, holding “peaceful protest” signs.
Call it a discussion on aviation
All the more reason to campaign there
All special events that are “non-aeronautical in nature” are in violation of its lease with the airport.
Its not an event. Its a peaceful protest. If this crap could also stop ANTIFA & BLM, it would have been deployed. “Sorry you cant riot here! This “rcist riot” is non-commercial in nature!”
A ground stop at the Milwaukee Airport would bring President Trump some very bad publicity. I think that location was probably a poor choice to begin. If the story is true.
