President Donald Trump on Monday said that he "will be reluctantly forced" to move the Republican National Convention if North Carolina doesn't ease up on social distancing restrictions to allow full attendance.In a series of tweets, the president said that he advocated for the convention to be held in North Carolina but railed against Gov. Roy Cooper for continuing to impose restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic.
"They must be immediately given an answer by the Governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican National Convention site. This is not something I want to do."
But some states have continued to see the number of cases rise and health officials have warned that early reopening could lead to a second wave.
Great news.
Wow what a threat, let him have it at the Doral, make a few bucks while he gets every sick.
What state does want to put their citizens at high risk,
Please do. As a North Carolinian we don't want you here.
Where ever it's held this would be a great opportunity for contact tracing.
Carrot face, the petulant child.
Go Alaska is waiting 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠
Trump is insane!
Houston’s Minute Maid Park would be great
sounds good to me. We now have a record 100,000 dead and we MUST find away to break that record.
Yawn... Trump becoming so tiresome with his petty little threats.
He gets to decide everything?
Good, Go ! don't need those infected DOTARD s coming into the city.
Why do they need a convention anyway?
No threat. He just warned the dictator Democrat governor that he won’t play games. Full house or he moves the party. Very easy to understand.
Trump wants to move the GOP convention to Mar-a-Lago
Bye bye fat ass...
you know what, even though losing this event would cost me personally and my brother and sisters of the IA thousands of dollars (Cause I am a union member that would be loading in and loading out the show at that arena) It is satisfying knowing our Gov' and Mayor have a backbone
Moving it would save many lives in NC. Plus, Trump doesn't pay his bills.
Had to use the word “threatens” huh?
Move it to Hong Kong..hahaha
POTUS please bring it to FLORIDA!! Spend the 💵 in a RED state 💪 MAGA 💪💪
Here we go again
I live in NC, 20 minutes from Charlotte and believe me Donald you are not welcome!
Did he also say he was holding his breath until it happens?
Trump should have the convention at one of his properties.
