Punchbowl News: “Trump disparaged Milwaukee, the city where he’ll formally accept the GOP presidential nomination next month. He also told a bizarre story involving an imagined relationship with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And he suggested a new tariff idea.”
“It was vintage Trump, treating the gathering like a campaign rally. The following few hours were dominated by GOP lawmakers and Trump campaign officials haranguing reporters for the portrayal of his comments about Milwaukee.”
“Trump called Milwaukee a ‘horrible city,’ then some House Republicans claimed he never said it, and then they admitted he said it but that he didn’t mean it.”
“It felt like we were back in the ‘clean-up on aisle Trump’ news cycles of 2017 all over again.”
