Today, President Trump goes to North and South Dakota.
He will attend fundraisers and meet with supporters, but we know what he won't do: address the real issues facing hard-working North and South Dakota families. Not to mention the ongoing GOP's contentious court battle to attack health care coverage for 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions, which could strip health coverage away from hundreds of thousands of people in North and South Dakota.
The Deflector-in-Chief may try, but the cruel consequences of the Trump-Republican agenda for Americans in the very states he visits cannot be ignored:
