If I were the mayor of Springfield, I'd close down the city from his visit.

[Sogo]

"We will not be having a Donald Trump rally in Springfield. Sorry, but we do not have the ifrastructure to keep the citizens safe from such a potentially disruptive event. I will call upon the Governor to deploy the Ohio National Guard to block off all entrances to our city to prevent further disruption to the peace of our city."

[LizBeth]

1. Absolutely. He has shown he is not gonna change what he is saying and will be all

about being divisive.

[Think. Again.]

2. I think it would be legitimate for the Mayor...

....to refuse access for a trump rally on the grounds of public safety.

Let trump fight it in court if he wants to.

[CoopersDad]

3. Agree. nt

[Deuxcents]

4. Yep, I'd declare everything to be shut down n boarded off. Encourage people to take a day trip

To stay safe, jack up the charges for TSF’s security n refuse permits for rallys. No safe harbor for the MAGAs or the other terrorists threatening to come

[orthoclad]

5. Billion dollar security bond, non-refundable.

6. Whoa - - is Dump planning a rally in Springfield OH?

8. Trump plans to visit Springfield, Ohio, the site of his baseless claims about Haitian immigrants

Former President Donald Trump plans to visit Springfield, Ohio, "soon," a source familiar with the planning said.

The town has become the center of a national political fight on immigration, with Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, spreading baseless conspiracy theories that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating dogs and other pets.

Though the unfounded claims have circulated online in right-wing circles for weeks, they went mainstream last week when Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris met for a debate in Philadelphia.

10. Thanks, I saw a few lines mentioned here in DU but wasn't sure.

IMO it'll just stir the pot - what a monster.

[sheshe2]

15. He will just repeat his lies.

Most likely he will say he will deport them all and then stoke the hate.

11. Thanks, that's all they need right now.

[FakeNoose]

7. The Governor of Ohio - Mike DeWine (R) - needs to ban Chump & Vance from appearing in the state

That would actually mean something!

[Diamond_Dog]

12. Weasel DeWine will probably welcome dumpy with open arms and a platoon of protection officers.

[KS Toronado]

16. Dewine was on one of the Sunday morning talk shows

He's pissed at both of them.

[Diamond_Dog]

17. I wish he'd stand up to them then

And tell them to stay away from Springfield. In fact stay the hell out of Ohio. And call for Vance’s resignation.

[Hope22]

18. He won't...

He’s a two faced *ick! Always a disappointment!

[lpbk2713]

13. It's his duty to do what is in the best interest of the city.

Tell Trump the Traitor to take a hike.

[tishaLA]

14. Anything to keep attention on immigration

And deflect from his rebate failure, even if it requires inventing stories

[tsSleepyTimeDwnSout]

19. news said dewine invited the haitians to springfield

specifically, in writing. if that's true and he abandons them now, it's akin to GWB and the kurds. shameful.

[SheltieLover]

20. Which news? Do you have a link?

tyia!
