Low Energy? Too Scared? Too Busy with Lawyers? ---Trump cancels Iowa rally

President Donald Trump has canceled a rally in Iowa next week, citing "an unforeseen change" in the president's schedule.

"Due to an unforeseen change in President Trump's schedule, we will need to unfortunately postpone the previously scheduled rally in Cedar Rapids on June 1st," according to an email sent from his campaign Saturday.


"Stay tuned for information on a rescheduled date early next week. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. President Trump will see you in Iowa very soon," it continued.

The rally was scheduled to take place Thursday evening at 7 p.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton Cedar Rapids Convention Complex.

he won't be President any longer by that date. Perhaps he's having a resignation party on June 1.

As if this is news. Couldn't we all predict when the whole Russian Connection began its epic unraveling this past week that tRump would have other duties on his agenda when he gets back from his trip? I knew when I read about the rally that it wouldn't be long before they announced it was being cancelled. I realize he NEEDS a boost for his ego, but since his administration appears to be engulfed in flames, he probably needs to hang back in DC for some strategizing. Or at least that's what they are calling it....more like diaper change for the man-child.

In addition to my morbid curiosity about seeing exactly who would come out and show up for the creep.

Get some positive publicity, lay out the Democratic vision as opposed to the Trump nightmare, jazz up local activists, and reach Iowans directly without the Fox filter.
