    Actually, it’s pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

    I heard that the largest felonious politician in history is in Milwaukee.

    Oh wait, scratch that - not yet.

        My life is finally complete once more - I mean, not in this capitalistic hellscape, but you know what I mean (he makes it bearable I guess is what I mean:-).

    Yeah, he’s telling the truth (from his perspective), he REALLY doesn’t give a fuck about the city or its people, hates them even. Why would anyone doubt that?

      His whole BS is always, “we’re great, everyone else is crap” so this totally fits. His fascist followers love this kind of thing.

        If a Red Hat did me a good turn, I’d certainly try to do him a favor in return.

        Trump just spits on them and they keep lapping it up.

    IIRC it’s the Milwaukee airport that has a “recombobulation area” immediately following security. I thought the self awareness was a nice touch.

      Ok…what is that for? I’m not saying it’s useless or not needed but I have no idea what that word means…

        “Discombobulated” is just a funny term for being confused, often in a humorous way. Which is kind of how many people feel after going through security and standing around with no socks, no belt, and you belongings all over the place.

    His support in Wisconsin is largely outside of Milwaukee. And his core MAGA base wouldn’t stop supporting him if he showed up and took a shit on their porch. Hell, they’d probably agree with Trump about Milwaukee (regardless of how they felt before Trump said anything) rather take any offense.

    But of course, I also assume that Trump didn’t think about anything like this before opening his noise hole. He just says whatever nonsense passes througg his failing neurons and manages to escape his mouth.

      Based on my watching of the Drew Carey show 20 years ago I’m pretty sure that’s Cleveland…

    This is clearly irony! Trump’s just making an ironic joke, he’s always being ironic when he tells his voters he hates them! You just don’t get ironic humor smh

    /s, ironic humor is a lie

      “Trump isn’t hateful or racist or anything, he just says it like it is. That’s why I love him. If that bothers you then you’re just a snowflake.”

      “No no, you’re taking him too literally. He was obviously being sarcastic, haven’t you ever heard of a joke?”

    I hope the Great Lakes region of the Midwest is on the precipice of raising a giant middle finger to the GOP.
