Trump Springfield visit: Darcy cartoon

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Thursday in a joint press conference. with Governor Mike DeWine, Republican Springfield Mayor Rob Rule discouraged a visit to the city by Donald Trump who said he planned on it. Governor DeWine said "I hope [Trump] does" stop making baseless claims that Haitian immigrants in the city are illegal and eating cats, dogs and geese.

Mayor Rue said a Trump visit would only further stress overstrained city and state safety services. Governor DeWine had brought in the Ohio Highway Patrol and Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms to augment Springfield safety services responding to multiple bomb threats to Springfield schools, stores and events.

"As a visit from the former president will undoubtedly place additional demands on our safety infrastructure, should he chose to change his plans, it would convey a significant message of peace to the city of Springfield," said Mayor Rue.

Instead, Trump conveyed an ominous fear mongerIng message of his Springfield visit.

"In the next two weeks I'm going to Springfield and I'm going to Aurora. You may never see me again but that's OK. I've gotta do what I gotta do." Trump said during a campaign speech in New York, where he was convicted on 34 felony counts for fraud.

Trump's falsely claiming that Aurora, Colorado has been taken over by a criminal gang from Venezuela. No mention of them eating cats and dogs too.

Running mate Sen. JD Vance recently said he had "created" the fake story of Haitian migrants grabbing and eating pets to grab the media's attention. Vance has never once visited Springfield. Not since he started his slanderous sewage spill engulfing Springfield or during his Senate campaign, despite his having grown up in suburban middle class Middletown, just south of Springfield.

Trump-Vance endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno visited Springfield Saturday and called for the legal Haitian immigrants to be deported. Bernie, the 'Benz dealer, is a Bogota, Columbia legal immigrant himself.

" Moreno extolled.
