Trump Takes Campaign to Midwest as Democrats Kick Off Convention Week

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - On the day the Democratic Party began its virtual
   convention, the incumbent Republican president, Donald Trump, brought
   his campaign to the heart of the upper Midwest.

   In campaign-style stops at airports in Minnesota and Wisconsin on
   Monday -- replicating the rock music soundtracks of his "Make America
   Great Again" political rallies -- the president, speaking to invited
   clusters of supporters on the tarmacs, accused his presumptive election
   opponent of being a clueless puppet of "left-wing fascists."

   A victory by the opposition party in November, Trump warned, would mean
   open borders, economic collapse and other perceived calamities.
