“Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done for Flint, not to give a political speech”, Timmons reminded him.

Residents of Flint, Michigan, on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order bottled water or filters be provided to them to prevent further lead exposure, 2-1/2 years after the city’s water supply was found to be contaminated.
Residents of Flint held a press conference Wednesday morning accusing Trump of using the city as a “prop” for his campaign.
“After more than two years, Flint residents still can not turn on their taps without worrying about lead exposure”, Dimple Chaudhary, attorney for the NRDC, told Judge David Lawson in a hearing for a preliminary injunction the group is seeking to force the bottled water delivery.
Trump had been in the middle of arguing Clinton had failed on the economy and foreign policy. Her total cholesterol was 189; her LDL or “bad” cholesterol was 103, and her HDL or “good” cholesterol was 56 – all within healthy levels and not signaling the need for any medications.

So, with that in mind, Trump plans to make a trip to Flint on Wednesday in what appears to be part of his effort to reach out to minorities. Other local Democratic leaders have been less than excited about a Trump presidency.
Clinton remained in her suburban NY home Wednesday as she continues to recover from pneumonia. Next week, she plans to meet with foreign leaders next week at the U.N.

Trump had started off his remarks to the small gathering at the church by saying he had “just met the most handsome family and they are devastated by what’s happened with the water and it’s had a huge impact on them mentally and physically”.
Flint Mayor Karen Weaver described the Republican candidate’s visit as last minute, saying Flint is focused on fixing problems, not photo ops. She’ll return to the campaign trail Thursday.
Weaver said she would be in Washington during Trump’s visit. Everything she touched didn’t work out, nothing.
The campaign hasn’t released details yet, but Trump’s travel schedule initially included a tour of the Flint water plant.
Republicans have gained ground on Democrats in registering voters in three battleground states and kept their razor-thin advantage in Iowa.
“It’s just ridiculous. Why he’s coming 60 days before the election. We have been looking into the Trump Foundation to make sure it’s complying with the laws governing charities in NY”.
