Donald Trump wants Hillary Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine to know he’s not very popular in New Jersey—a state Kaine’s never governed.
During a press conference Wednesday Trump seemed to confuse Kaine, the former governor and current senator from Virginia, with former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean.
The Republican nominee had to be corrected by reporters at his Doral, Florida property as he started on a tear against Kaine.
“Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who, by the way, did a terrible job in—first act he did in New Jersey was ask for a $4 billion tax increase and he’s not very popular in New Jersey,” Trump said. “What? I mean Virginia. The first thing Tim Kaine did. So let me tell you. I went all over Virginia. I was there the other day. I thought he’d be popular. He’s not popular because he asked for tax increases. Big tax increases in Virginia, big.”
Kean, a Republican, served as governor of the Garden State from 1982-1990. Kaine served as governor of Virginia from 2006–2010.
Trump’s only had 87 businesses fail in NJ…how the hell is he supposed to remember who the politicians were if they didn’t take his bribes? Well, promises of bribes…not like he ever would pay up.
Oh, this wasn’t a mistake or confusion at all! It’s another jab at failed man-whore Christie, plain and simple.
I give most people the benefit of the doubt. In Trump’s case, my first thought is that he’s lying or exaggerating. So far, no evidence to the contrary.
Just got up and made coffee (rough nite).
Has Trump released his taxes yet?
“I don’t know Vladamir Putin. I don’t know the difference between the recent Democratic governor of VA and the long ago Republican governor of NJ but I know more about ISIS than anyone, including the generals.”
