"The Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a 'horrible city.' This is false, a complete lie..."

"... just like the Laptop from Hell was a lie, Russia … was a lie, and so much more.... It’s called disinformation, and that’s all they know how to do. I picked Milwaukee, I know it well. It should therefore lead to my winning Wisconsin. But the Dems come out with this fake story, just like all of the others. It never ends. Don’t be duped. Who would say such a thing with that important state in the balance?"

Said Trump, on Truth Social, quoted in "Trump to stage Wisconsin rally days after calling Milwaukee a 'horrible city'/Ticket-only event follows unflattering remark about state’s biggest city that will host Republican national convention" (The Guardian).

He also said this on Fox 6 News, which shows that he said something about Milwaukee: "I think it was very clear what I meant. We’re very concerned with crime. I love Milwaukee. But as you know the crime numbers are terrible, and we have to be very careful. But, I was referring to, also, the election."

Good for Trump to make the Democrat's endless misinformation campaigns an item for discussion. I hope he and his supporters keep it up.

What Trump says: Its horrible whats happening to Milwaulkee under Biden. crime up - terrible. Poverty up - terrible. Biden is the worst POTUS ever.

What the MSM says Trump said - Trump calls Milwaulkee a horrible city.

Same tactic and Democrats/MSM have been using since August 2015. Lies, lies, lies. But dumbos never learn.

Yancey Ward, I don't need MSNBC for any talking points.

The very day (days ago, now) that the "Milwaukee" story broke, I compared it to the "Shithole countries" story. Where it was very reliably reported that Trump had said it, and then we saw the TrumpWorld reaction. Half the TrumpFans thought that it was great, and that Trump was damned right to call them shithole countries. And the other half of TrumpFans claimed that of course Trump didn't say it. There again, Trump didn't deny it at first. Only when the blowback started to look bad, did Trump say, "They are lying about me." At that point 100% of TrumpFans pivoted; the new position wasn't "He was right to say it," and it wasn't "He never said it." The new position was, "Who cares? Only the libs care about it."

Aren't there a dozen similar stories in the pathetic history of the Trump presidency?

At 11:47 Judge Michael Gabelman describes just how corrupt Wisconsin and in particular the 5 largest cities including Milwaukee are.

He also talks about how corrupt the newspaper in Wisconsin is. They are just openly lying at this point about pretty much everything.

There are 5 million people in Wisconsin. There are approximately 4 million people of voting age alive.

There are 7 million people on the voter roles and you cannot access the voter roles without paying 5 figures and even then they restrict access.

It is pretty obvious that Trump had hundred's of thousands more actual voters in Wisconsin that Biden.

I live in Chicago. I love Chicago, but Chicago has horrible government, has a huge crime problem, and is completely financially irresponsible. Chicago's last Republican mayor left office in 1931, and he had an unholy alliance with Al Capone. All the Democrats since are political hacks who figure out ways to get tribute from business and the people. And the recent occupants of City Hall are the worst.

In fact, LLR-democratical Chuck cursed out those pointing out that Dementia-Glitch boy had indeed frozen and was led pulled off stage by obambi...as the uncut video CLEARLY shows.

Eric Weinstein---
"One question I get a lot is "What explains your asymmetric focus on Democrats and the Left?"

The short answer, after some soul searching and introspection, is simply this: "The Gaslighting of Experts."

I see the Republican party fighting the experts they oppose. I don't see them trying to gaslight them much.

Let's say you are an economist who believes that higher taxes spent on infrastructure would be good for the nation. The right may fight you. They may call you a name like "Libtard" or "Commie". And that is absolutely awful behavior to me. Truly. But they aren't nearly as likely to coordinate behind the scenes in emails to be discovered later and all agree to pretend, seemingly independently, that as a former expert you have committed some unclear moral crime that means you can never be empaneled or invited onto a commission. They aren't immediately going to treat you like a mental patient, a con-artist, or threat to society. They are just going to be asses. That's the dopey game they love: "Happy Warriors" is what they call it.

And the subjects I focus on most tend to be the places where I think dissenting experts are being gaslit:

COVID ORIGINS

SOUTHERN BORDER

STRING THEORY

POTUS COGNITIVE STATE AND AGE

EPSTEIN'S INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION

COVID MANAGEMENT

QUESTIONING UKRAINE NATO STRATEGY

INFLATION/GROWTH MEASUREMENT

NON-CONSENSUAL HUMAN TESTING (infectious agents, radioactivity)

BAILOUTS

MAXIMALIST STRUCTURAL BIGOTRY CLAIMS

LABOR MARKET FLOODING VIA IMMIGRATION

RELIGIOUS TERRORISM

Etc.

In all cases above, there is some absolutely *MASSIVE* long-term lying and obfuscation. Not small. Not excusable. I am talking about massive lies. Lies that last decades. Lies too large to choke a blue whale.

And they incinerate dissenting experts as pretend neer-do-wells for the crime of dissenting from consensus.

What is the point of becoming an expert Stanford or Harvard professor if you can be turned into a "Fringe Epidemiologist" like @DrJBhattacharya was overnight by some washington insiders like Colins and Fauci?

To an academic: it makes life pointless. Everything we are becomes pointless if that is allowed to stand.

So, this is what I have to say: I appear to be focused on gaslighting of dissenting experts more than politics.

It's not that I don't have political opinions. I do. It's that I haven't been able to focus on them for years. All we seem to do these days is deal with gaslighting on our top line issues above.

And the formula is quite simple. An expert can have:

A) Reach.
B) Reputation.
C) Independence.

but no more than 2 out of 3.

This is a terrible rule. And whoever attempts to enforce that rule, is who I fight. Unfortunately, that group has been my own historic political party as transformed over 30 years.

And, in my opinion, they deserve to continue to hemorrage credibility for that crime against their own until they end this tactic. It's a crime against everything I believe with all my soul. We need *DISSENTING* experts to right our listing ship on all of the above and more.

Check the above list. That's no small thing. It's about the destruction of a country that I dearly love and which the world needs desperately to come back at this moment.

Nobody thinks Democrats or this Regime are a part of the greater community anymore. Nobody thinks Joe Biden or the people that support him uphold any of the ideals that we believe define the United States.

We know exactly what he was saying. And he is letting us all say it out loud.

He was obviously referring to the corrupt amoral repulsive fascist democrats that are making the lives of average people in Milwaukee worse.

Unless I'm reading this wrong.

You read it wrong. I'm not picking on you for your good faith question; I am grinding on this for the sake of clarity.

Jake Sherman reported the story first, and he used a full quote, in quotation marks: "Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city." Sherman is standing by his reporting; NBC has confirmed it from multiple sources.

Here's where a thoughtful Trump defender might start. Start with EXACTLY what Trump said. Did he say Milawaukee was horrible? Did he say Milwaukee crime was horrible? That Milwaukee election operations were horrible? That there was a park in Milwaukee that was horrible? And when you do get a clear, verbatim readout on what Trump actually now claims, compare that to the 6 or 8 different House Republican claims about what was said.

I really do love these stories more than I should. Not because I care too much about the substance (because I don't care about any substance with Trump) but rather because this is one of those stories that puts another Trump lie in the spotlight, and it divides TrumpWorld.

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...

The crime numbers are horrible. Half the city is dilapidated and run down. Crime has spread to the once safe downtown area. We are much more in touch with Milwaukee's deterioration here in bordering Waukesha County, than the Ivory Tower elite in Madison and Dance County. They don't get Milwaukee crime on their local news. Plus, they don't care.

Trump didn't go far enough. Milwaukee is a heartbreaking shit hole.

Ann's post had no direct info. Her Guardian link had no direct info. Your link goes to a Twitter post. The local NBC affiliate attributes it to...the same Twitter post.

I found a CNN article that quotes "a source." And says this:

Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a Wisconsin Republican who was in the room, made clear to CNN that Trump was “specifically referring to crime in Milwaukee” and not the city itself.

So, a rational reader can conclude he said something close to the rumor, close enough to be twisted by partisans. Which in this case includes the media.

Both Weinstein brothers are physicists and have many thoughts on what they deem wasted decades spent by "physicists" at Universities and research centers on highly theoretical mathematics that will never be in a position to be tested nor advance our practical, useful understanding of physics in ways that help humanity.

This is actually a huge disagreement within the community.

All the heavy funding goes to the deeply theoretical math side of the house. Practical physics is happening on the materials science and compute side.

According to the Wisconsin Independent

Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city,” Trump told House Republicans in a meeting at the Capitol Hill Club, according to Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman. Members of Wisconsin's congressional delegation (who were in the room) confirmed the comment to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other news outlets. Milwaukee will host the Republican National Convention from July 15-18.

Trump first claimed he was talking about crime in the city.

“I think it was very clear what I meant. I said we’re very concerned with crime. I love Milwaukee. I have great friends in Milwaukee. But it’s, as you know, the crime numbers are terrible, and we have to be very careful,” Trump told Fox News.

Crime has actually dropped in Milwaukee this year, with homicides dropping 39%, robberies dropping 14%, and motor vehicle theft dropping 10%, the Milwaukee Police Department announced in April.

Trump later denied he had called Milwaukee horrible altogether, writing in a Truth Social post: “The Democrats are making up stories that I said Milwaukee is a ‘horrible city.’


Tomorrow he will have another story and some cultist friends among House Republicans will lie through their teeth for him again. But the billboard reminders are all over the city - one is outside the Baird Center, site of the GOP convention downtown for all the world to see.

There is no actual quote. Just what people said someone said.

Do not stop Chuck. Keep showing everyone just how pathetic, dishonest, and unlikable you people are.

This thread is worth 5 new Trump voters.

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

So the problem with tracking down that quote is that it was a closed meeting with house Republicans. Every media outlet put the word "horrible" in quotes, so someone must have said he used that word but we have no direct evidence of the context.

There is this story from CNBC a week ago

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/trump-calls-milwaukee-a-horrible-city-ahead-of-republican-convention.html

containing these nuggets:

1. "Several Republican lawmakers also denied he made the comments in the meeting, held at the Capitol Hill Club." {Translation the media got the quote wrong.]

2. Wisconsin Republican said: “I was in the room. President Trump did not say this,” Steil said. “There is no better place than Wisconsin in July.”

3. Other congressional Republicans sought to contextualize Trump’s comments, with Rep. Derrick Van Orden, of Wisconsin, saying the former president was specifically referring to the city’s crime rate. While others reportedly said Trump was speaking about election integrity. [Note, those are both in Trump's remarks today.]

Bottom line: the media like to repeat ad nauseam (like Rich and Chuck) stories Democrats tell them, even with no evidence, even after people actually in the meeting "dispute Trump said that."

Reaction: Fuck the media. Trump has a better record of truth telling than his media foes.

I was going to vote for that Trump guy, but then he said Muhwaukee is a horrible city, so I'm going to vote for that Biden guy instead.

Crime has actually dropped in Milwaukee this year, with homicides dropping 39%, robberies dropping 14%, and motor vehicle theft dropping 10%, the Milwaukee Police Department announced in April.

Terrorists flying planes into buildings dropped 100% in 2002. It didn't make the policies that enabled 9/11 to be less bad.

Drago म्हणाले...

In Rich and Chuck's "defense", it's possible Jake Sherman's lie and fake quote might have been originally packaged in a hoax dossier.

We know our New Soviet Democraticals looooooooooooooove ANY LIE as long as it is packaged in a hoax dossier. It's like catnip for them!

Actually, they looooooooooove ANY LIE. The hoax dossier format just makes it that much more enjoyable for them.

What happens to the crime rate when people stop reporting crimes because they don't expect the police to do anything about it?

Asking for a friend.

Alleged lawyer Chuck, are you familiar with "he said, she said" legal cases based on nothing more than hearsay, and the difficulties they present?

Well, this is a "he said, he said" situation.

The claimed quote was delivered during a closed session with House Republicans. The "quote" is thus hearsay, straight up.

So, produce hard evidence other than what a hostile reporter or a newspaper CLAIMS Trump said, and you will have a point. Otherwise you're making an assertion "without evidence", as the lying MSM likes to say.

btw: I hear those assless chaps you wore in the Gay Pride parade were the hit of the event.

Mason G म्हणाले...

"Assless chaps" sounds like a sex reassignment surgery gone horribly wrong. Of course, that could be where they get brains to implant into leftists.

It is worse than that, it is what a hostile reporter claims someone who was there heard Trump say. Double hearsay. Also, don't forget that the way the mainstream media works is that this reporter will give the story to a reporter from a different outlet and then use that outlet as a "confirmatory source." The whole Russia-gate story turned out to be one big circle-jerk.

Sheesh gadfly. The Wisconsin Independent? It’s not even a real newspaper.

“Wisconsin Independent is a non-profit news site that features original reporting and commentary from progressive sources across the state. It is a project of the High Ground Institute, a tax-exempt 501 (c)3 organization, and it welcomes donations and feedback.”



Chuck म्हणाले...

I meant to say this earlier; kudos to Althouse on crafting this blog-post. Specifically, for the inclusion of Trump’s own after-the-fact remark where he quite apparently said something derogatory about Milwaukee, which Trump wanted to try to clean up in a particular way.

So many Trump defenders among Althouse’s commenters; surely one of you can state very specifically what it is that Trump actually said.

Chuck's link did not address this. Is Jacob Sherman saying HE, Jacob Sherman, heard Trump say this?

tcrosse म्हणाले...

One of my shirt-tail relatives was a guy named Frank Zeidler, who was the last Socialist mayor of Milwaukee. He was voted out in a particularly nasty election in 1960, then devoted himself to Good Works, and also running for President on the Socialist ticket. I had a chat with him at my grandmother's funeral in 1974, and he opined that Socialism was a particularly hard sell to a diverse electorate, which is what Milwaukee had by that time, but not so much when he was first elected. My parents' old neighborhood on the North Side is one I would advise nobody to visit.

Oh, so NOW, after all your serial lies and BS have been debunked and shoved back down your lying lefty gin and tonic soaked gullet, NOW you want a little help to know what was actually said?!

Too funny.

A little late to try and "reset" the conversation in a "lets not quibble about who killed who" sort of way.

As with your pathetic denial via edited video defense of Dementia-Glitch boy being led off stage by obambi, its time to MoveOn.com laddie to whatever your next set of lies will be.

I don't understand. You're saying you believe one of the commenters was actually there?

Original Mike म्हणाले...

One of my comments disappeared, so forgive me for asking again. Is Jacob Sherman claiming he heard this himself?

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Now another comment disappeared!

Original Mike म्हणाले...

And a 3rd comment disappears. I don't think they've been unacceptable, but maybe I crossed some line.

Original Mike म्हणाले...

OK, I'm going to be completely banal because I really want to know: Does anyone know if Jacob Sherman claims to have heard this himself?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who heard Jacob say he heard about it himself. I guess it's pretty serious.

He admits he did not.

But Sherman knows precisely the quote the New Soviet Democraticals needed for their narrative....and that's all the New Soviet Democraticals have ever needed to create their fake quotes, lies and hoaxes....so that's what he delivered.

And he will be rewarded for this lie.

Mason G—best line from Ferris Bueller.

"He admits he did not."

Thanks, Drago.

And let me go out on a limb and guess that Sherman will not identify who did hear it. Cuz that would be revealing sources.

Who, in the year 2024, gets taken in by this nonsense?

Chuck म्हणाले...

I’m thoroughly satisfied with what I know to have been reported about what Trump said.

My reason for asking TrumpWorld what was said, is to see if there is yet (now five+ days later) a single coherent version of what Trump claims that he said. However many sources back any Trump story up, can be measured against Jake Sherman’s reporting (multiple sources), NBC News (multiple sources), and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (multiple sources). A Trump story, backed up by the likes of Derrick Van Orden and Glenn Grothman, can also be measured against what they previously claimed about the meeting.

effinayright म्हणाले...

Chuck, hearsay, double hearsay, triple hearsay, quadruple hearsay.........

are still hearsay.

So just STFU.

Mason G म्हणाले...

"And let me go out on a limb and guess that Sherman will not identify who did hear it. Cuz that would be revealing sources."

Or maybe it would be revealing that he just made it up because he knew he'd never be expected to back up his claim with- you know- actual facts.

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Chuck, has anyone stood up and said "I heard it"?

Biden froze up again while speaking today of his new amnesty plan.

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/06/18/biden-announces-his-new-amnesty-plan-and-completely-malfunctions-in-the-process-n2175645

That is the strangest expression on his face that I've ever seen. It's as if his brain just froze completely and he lost all his memory, and his facial expression shows it. Biden is now getting progressively worse from one day to the next. At this rate, he will not make it to November. He may not even make it until the nominating convention in August. Heck, he may not make it until the debate next week. I can't believe Jill Biden is allowing much less encouraging this abuse of her husband.

Drago म्हणाले...

Wanna have some fun with Chuckles?

Have him name the sources from this comment "However many sources back any Trump story up, can be measured against Jake Sherman’s reporting (multiple sources), NBC News (multiple sources), and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (multiple sources)."

So many sources! So very very very "many" "sources"! How many exactly? What are their names? What are their exact "quotes" from which Sherman derived his "Steele Dossier"-like Trump-"quote"?

Why not just claim you have eleventy-jillion sources?!

Remember, this is the very LLR-democratical Chuck that denies the video footage of obambi grabbing Dementia-Glitch boy's arm!

Such a fantastic thread for all LLR-democratical Chuck observers! It satisfies EVERYTHING we have come to know about Chuck over the last 9+ years!

Original Mike म्हणाले...

Nowadays, everybody's got a phone. Certainly reporters do. I'd say the fact there is no recording is pretty good evidence it didn't happen as reported.

As a rural Wisconsinite, I'm in full agreement with Trump's alleged assessment.

We watch Milwaukee tv morning news, which we call the "Who got shot overnight" report.

The sources who confirmed the comment all got it from the same source. We've seen this before multiple times in regards to allegations against Trump. One reporter will make up a quote, there will be no video evidence to support it, but all media sites will say they have "confirmed" it. Confirming means they read or listened to Sherman's accusations. There is only once source.
