President Trump’s allies in his newly adopted home state of Florida are making a play to snatch the Republican National Convention from North Carolina

MIAMI — .

“Hey, Mr. President, Florida will roll out the red carpet for you,” Waltz said he told Trump when the president returned his call Sunday. “We’re excited to have you for the launch. We had you for the “Florida would love to have the RNC. Heck, I’m a Republican, it would be good for us to have the DNC in terms of the economic impact,” DeSantis told reporters in Miami.RNC officials, he noted, already have raised a lot of money for the event planned for North Carolina.

“You can win without those other states, but Florida is critical to you winning,” Waltz said he told the president. “And the other piece, a little bit selfishly for me: It would be such a shot in the arm for our economy.”Mitt Romney "That’s at the crux of this debate," he said, "the personal responsibility element versus government mandates.”

Please let it go to Florida. Are you thinking what I’m thinking 👀

Don’t let him start a total scam charity. New York broke it up.

That was obvious.

So does that mean Trump is dumping New York as his hometown state? Maybe pissed because Cuomo isn't an ass kisser? Good riddance.

They can have it

Let them.

Proof they are worried about losing Florida, and shoring up some Trump holdings.

Please. Use Mar-a-Largo. He needs the money. Just quarantine there as well. 21 days at rack rate per attendee. Fill a few Miami hospitals. Good deal.

If the governor from North Carolina doesn’t buckle under the pressure from our fake prez, the governor from Florida will lick his boots to host the convention , for sure.

Why not just hold the convention in Jonestown?

Snatch away. Pls go to Florida

Let ‘em go. There will be fewer Republican voters in November if they do.

Picture this: Thousands of RepubliRussians in a poorly ventilated ballroom. Death Cult. Reminds me of Jim Jones.

The two amigos. Conspiring against North Carolina. This is how Trump would dump you in a minute if it was in his interest. Looks good on North Carolina.

Republicans are going to love virus in Florida 👍👍👍. 💋

It will be a Corona hotspot not matter where it is.

Let them gather at this shitshow wherever they like, please let them just do it and wait a few days to see how many of them are affected by this coronavirus

Florida. August. Hell.

He does not have residency in Florida. Please print that story. Thanks!

I'm wonder if Trump and the Republicans may be looking for an excuse to move their convention from NC to possibly FL or GA because they are now worried about losing those 2 must win states. Not that NC isn't important, but I wonder if they may be prioritizing. And panicking.

Please, give it to FLA.

Typically bad behavior day, particularly bad hair day.

Good. Hope De Santis is successful. Don't want the RNC here contaminating NC with Trumpfest.

Don't say snatch around Trump he might grab it

Looks like the national stockpile of remdesivir will now be needed in Florida not NC

YES!!! Put the darned thing ar Mar-A-Lago!!! No masks, no protection for ANYONE because it's all just a hoax -- realDonaldTrump Trump said so.

Wow....Take dead...throw in some covid...add 70+ years. There will be plenty of real estate for sale once so many Floridians bite the dust. Blame their healthy family members too because they are letting it happen.

Trump Threatens To Relocate The Republican National ConventionPresident Trump has threatened to relocate the Republican National Convention, which has been scheduled to take place in Charlotte, N.C., in August. He is objecting to the governor's safety measures. Good riddance! Stop paying attention to Trump's antics. He's an attention seeker. If you report every empty threat or gesture - and with Trump, it's all bluff - you provide him with what he craves. Ignore the nonsense. Focus on incompetence regarding Covid-19, economy, trade, peace plans, wall.

Trump threatens to move Republican National Convention out of North CarolinaPresident Donald Trump threatened Monday to pull the Republican National Convention out of North Carolina if the state’s Democratic governor doesn’t... This threat is playing to his supporters & in so doing encouraging them to not play by the prevention rules. And because his brain is wired by NPD, he's self-absorbed & indifferent to consequences. His wants overrides his every word action deed--and that's winning again. Spoiler. He's gonna hold it a Trump property, cus the grift most flow. The Republican Convention should be held in Pyongyang.
