Does Trump still think Milwaukee is a 'horrible city'? The Riverside Theater asks the question

It's the fourth and final day of the Republican National Convention, and that means one of Milwaukee's historic landmarks has one last message for visiting Republican delegates.

This week, the Riverside Theater marquee has become known for it's quippy ? yet informative ? messages spotlighting why the Cream City is so great.

Thursday's message from the Pabst Theater Group read: "So, Milwaukee... Not so horrible, eh?"

Each morning of RNC, the theater has updated the flashing marquee. On Wednesday, it gave a shoutout to Milwaukee's plentiful Lake Michigan sandy beaches, and on Tuesday it mentioned the city's great food scene. Monday's marquee mentioned some of the multinational corporations headquartered in the city, such as Milwaukee Tool and Harley-Davidson.

Thursday's message, though, hit on a recent sore spot for the city.

In June, just over a month before Republican delegates flooded Milwaukee for this week's RNC, former President Donald Trump called Milwaukee a "horrible city."

"Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city," Trump told House Republicans in a meeting on Capitol Hill.

So, has the former president changed his mind about Milwaukee? We may never know, but maybe he will give a shoutout to the city, and its hospitality, in his speech tonight.

The much anticipated final night will include his first speech to Republicans since the assassination attempt last weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania, and his acceptance of the nomination as the Republican presidential candidate.
