Springfield’s GOP Mayor Suggests Trump Should Stay Away: Mayor Rob Rue would prefer that Trump doesn’t visit and bring more chaos with him.

Key FactsSpringfield GOP Mayor Prefers Trump Stay Away

Bomb threats against schools and other city buildings, which have so far been shown to be fake, led to school closures and evacuations of other buildings.

At City Hall on Tuesday, Mayor Rob Rue said a Trump visit would place extreme strain on city resources and that he would welcome it being called off.

Springfield authorities rejected as false repeated claims by Donald Trump and JD Vance that Haitians were kidnapping and eating local residents’ dogs and cats.

NBC News reported plans for a soon Trump visit; Governor Mike DeWine cited stretched resources and announced additional police protection for schools, while Vance said neither he nor Trump had concrete plans.

It would be an extreme strain on our resources. So it’d be fine with me if they decided not to make that visit.
— Mayor Rob Rue, a Republican, Springfield, Ohio, speaking to reporters at City Hall; report by NBC News.

JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, insists on unfounded claims that migrants are eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, despite city officials repeatedly debunking these rumors.

These false claims have resulted in security threats, including the cancellation of events at Wittenberg University due to threats against the Haitian community.

Vance stated that these stories come from firsthand accounts of his constituents and aims to draw media attention to the suffering of Americans.

City officials and the Ohio governor have labeled the claims as false, emphasizing the negative impact such rumors have on the community.

Leber said Bi-Mart rarely closes stores; the previous closure was almost a decade earlier and also followed underperformance.

About 30 people work there; managers will be reassigned to Bi-Mart stores in Oregon, Washington or Idaho, while other employees may transfer.

The store opened on July 1, 1982; Bi-Mart is working with developers to find another company to take over the property.

After the closure, Bi-Mart will have 79 locations in Oregon, Washington and Idaho; two other stores are in Portland.

“It’s just a challenging store for us to be able to have it perform where we need it to perform. It’s just at the point where we had an opportunity to go in a different direction and focus on strengthening our other stores.”— Don Leber, Bi-Mart’s vice president of advertising and marketing, explaining the Meadowland store’s closure.
