‘Not the Right Time’ for a Convention, Trump Says

This afternoon my political team came to me and laid out our plans for the convention in Jacksonville, Fla. It’s a place I love. I love that state. The pageantry, the signs, the excitement were really, really top of the line. But I looked at my team and I said, “The timing for this event is not right. It’s just not right with what’s happened recently — the flare-up in Florida. To have a big convention, it’s not the right time.” It’s really something that for me, I have to protect the American people. That’s what I’ve always done. That’s what I always will do. That’s what I’m about.
