On Tuesday, Frey and Trump threw barbed tweets at each other, with the president accusing the mayor of trying to “price out free speech” and calling him a “lightweight” politician.

“Yawn,” Frey responded. “Welcome to Minneapolis where we pay our bills, we govern with integrity, and we love all our neighbors.”

The feud stemmed from a push by the city to make the Trump campaign pay $530,000 upfront for security costs for extra officers at the Target Center rally. But AEG, the company that runs Target Center, declined to pass the bill onto the Trump campaign.

As it stands Wednesday, the city looks to foot the security bill, although Frey says he’ll seek reimbursement for the city.

Meanwhile at Target Center, the Trump campaign has begun to set up for Thursday’s rally. The event is expected to draw thousands of supporters, as well as protesters, to downtown Minneapolis.

Minnesota has often been in Trump’s Twitter feed in recent months, particularly as he’s taken aim at Rep. Ilhan Omar, projecting her and other congresswomen of color as the new face of Democratic politics that he stands against.

Several times, the president has predicted that he’ll win Minnesota in 2020. In the last election, he narrowly lost the state to Hillary Clinton.
