The Trump campaign is scrambling to find a location for what will probably be the most-watched speech of Trump's reelection campaign.

that he scrapped plans to travel to Milwaukee to accept his party's nomination and will deliver his speech from his home in Delaware.

Trump is likely to attend the convention Aug. 24, the day of the nomination vote, but only to greet the delegates and thank them for their work, officials said. One option that has been discussed is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, site of a famed Civil War battle as well as the speech by President Abraham Lincoln honoring the dead and sanctifying the Union causes. Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania in 2016; polls show Biden with a single-digit lead there.

Some ethics groups might object to the idea of using the White House for such a political event. The Hatch Act forbids government officials from engaging in political activity on government property, though the president is exempt from that law.

Trump needs to have the campaign in his bedroom .

I’m not going to watch it. He’s DONE as president.

How about rikers in nyc. Perfect

Speech you mean hate fueleed lie filled delusional diatribe

How about the Confederate 'White House' in Richmond? At an old Playboy Club? One of Trump's failed casino's where the govt.foot the bill and he stiffed creditors? Perhaps at Liberty University with Jerry Jr.not there to share the spotlight? So many choices.

Do it at his golf course so you can save tax payers money.

I will be watching, if at all, from a TV in my home. If he gives the speech from the White House, Afghanistan, Florida, Hawaii, the Moon, or anywhere else, why does the location matter, even a little, to anyone?

San Quentin? TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

SOMEWHERE IN LAS VEGAS STRIP WHERE BIDEN COULD SING 'WHERE ARE THE CLOWNS' AND THE CLOWN CAN DO A STAND-UP COMEDY?

NOBODY WINS DEBATES BECAUSE OF A CHOSEN LOCATION.... NOBODY CAN FORECAST THE SITE OF HIS BIRTH... MUCH MORE THE SITE OF HIS POLITICAL DEATH FROM A DEBATE WITH AN OPPONENT WHOSE UPRIGHT INTELLECT IS DECIDEDLY SUPERIOR!!! TRUMP WILL BE BEATEN TO A PULP!!!

Do it at the trump motel in Washington DC. It will be cheaper and there may not be bed bugs.

YES FINDING A LOCATION FOR TRUMP'S MOST EMBARRASING MOMENT IN HIS BRAINLESS DECISION TO DEBATE AN INTELLECTUAL LIKE BIDEN... TRUMP WILL BE BEATEN TO A PULP!!! ITS AKIN TO A LOCATION CHOSEN BY JUDAS TO HANG HIMSELF... AT HELSEMA!!!

Garbage dump 🤷‍♂️

TRUMP CONTINUES ACT'G AS A 'FU*KED UP DICTATOR'! 'LIMP' SENATE REPUBLICANS SAY 'NADA', ENABLING HIM! 'DICTATOR' ORDERS WHAT $$$ HE'LL 'ALLOW' AMERICANS DESPERATE 4 HELP AGST PANDEMIC/FAIL'G ECONOMY! STEPS OVER CONGRESS- -'VOICE OF THE PEOPLE'! HELL NO!

Nárnia will be the best

Get the popcorn ready for what will surely be speech filled non-facts, no-truths, lots of me-me-me and other assorted narcissistic comments then followed up by more self-gratification. It’ll be a speech of POTUS sweating, mispronouncing words and blaming Obama for everything.

I have no plans to watch and hear his lies and slogans

I'm not in to lies

Cries & Lies !!! Who Cares !!!

perfect location - ya know location, location, location.

Mar-Lago?

Sturgis.

What makes you think they’re scrambling? You even say in your article they have a plethora of choices!

How about the 18th green at Mar-a-Lago as he finishes yet another round of golf?

He can go to hell and sit on his master’s lap and I still wouldn’t watch.

Why doesn’t he do it from outer space!! And then just stay up there. Forever....🤖

A lot fewer will watch than 4 years ago

Maybe he should do his speech in an intensive care unit of a hospital. Or maybe in front of a group of high school students like a teacher has too.

It won’t be Gettysburg. His base won’t be happy. The Confederacy lost that battle.

Florida Everglades on a leaking boat. He wants to move to Florida.

I'm watching it! Because it will be a TOTAL DISASTER.

Why would anybody want to turn in to all of his bullshit. Not me.

HELL

i have my money on a trump owned property

Mars is nice this time of year.

And the most hilarious and entertaining I bet.

I never watch Trump speak. The sound of his voice is bad enough, not to mention the lies and hatred he spews.

Russian Embassy

Ummm...Russia?

Is it possible to change the language on his tele promoters into Chinese ?

Find a swamp somewhere. Or a funeral home.

why bother with lies anyway?

Probably should do it outside Epstein’s cell and let the world know Hillary ordered it.

Hoe about from his future home at a federal penitentiary.

Wherever it is I am positive that it will be spectacular. MAGA2020!! Trump2020

No one sane will watch.

-1

I’ll watch for the comedy, the drama and the script writing.

I took a vote and it’s unanimous; Trumps speech should be delivered from THE BUNKER.

Most watched? I don’t plan on watching

Who cares what that idiot does.

Let him stand on the very top of Mt. Rushmore where he will NEVER be immortalized. Let the birds have their day.

His concession speech?

Doesn’t matter where he does it, trump 2020

Trump continues his norm-breaking by campaigning from the White HouseWhile administration and campaign officials have said they don't believe setting President Trump's speech at the White House presents ethical problems, they are nevertheless gauging the public reaction to reports about it closely He should not be permitted to campaign from the people's house. It IS unethical and in very bad taste. Trump's 'administration and campaign officials' are not exactly great arbiters of ethical matters realDonaldTrump can’t wait to vote you out of office. Keep sending money to your rich friends. Tick tock November 3rd is coming.
