PHOENIX Mayor Greg Stanton has asked President Donald Trump to delay a campaign rally in Phoenix after an outbreak of violence at a Virginia white supremacist protest over the weekend.
I am disappointed that President Trump has chosen to hold a campaign rally as our nation is still healing from the tragic events in Charlottesville, Stanton said in a Wednesday statement.
It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit.
Trumps re-election campaign announced early Wednesday that it had booked the Phoenix Convention Center on Aug. 22 for a rally.

about the Phoenix rally. His way of replying to the mayor's request, apparently.

(115,587 posts)only months after they were elected and long before their parties even re-nominated them for a second term. It just wasn't done. It's bizarre (but then, that's Trump).
Will the Nazis show up?

(115,587 posts)(and that includes some pretty bad ones: Nixon, Reagan and Bush) would have stooped that low. Trump doesn't seem to have a limit to his bad behavior.

Shut down all future rallies.

I want the world in general and all soft independents and all naïve republicans to see this guy foe who he really is and nothing is going to change him. I know there are people that voted for this guy thinking he'd change or they would not be affected.
Please, please have this rally.

(18,969 posts)Counter protesters are going to start treating them the same way. Trump is a White Supremacist.

You're on your own security dime Donnie.
This is not an official state visit.
Will the asshole still come if security is minimal?
Good luck with that!

(34,333 posts)He needs his pathetic little Nuremberg-Lite "Campaign" Rallies/Ego Stroking/Mass Fellatio like the rest of us need oxygen. It's gotten to the point where it's literally the only way he can convince himself that he's still loved & adored. If he loses his cult meetings, he loses everything.

To show their support for Trump and the white supremitist movement that he obviously supports.

I believe they're free.
