Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to visit the city of Aurora in Colorado within the next two weeks. The announcement came during a campaign speech in New York, where Trump mentioned his intention to visit both Springfield and Aurora. Trump has previously made false claims about Aurora being taken over by a criminal gang from Venezuela. The city’s mayor, Mike Coffman, welcomes Trump’s visit as an opportunity to dispel these false narratives and show the real situation on the ground to the former president.
However, not all city leaders are convinced of the value of Trump’s visit. Aurora Council member Crysal Murillo believes that Trump’s visit is politically motivated and raises concerns about the financial burden on taxpayers. She also expresses concern about the potential negative impact of false rumors on the city’s reputation.
Despite the mixed reactions from city leaders, Trump has not yet scheduled his visit to Aurora. Coffman, who has previously addressed the rumors about the Venezuelan gang in the city, hopes that a visit from Trump will help set the record straight and showcase Aurora as a safe and diverse place. The mayor acknowledges that the situation in Aurora is not as Trump has depicted, and he believes that a visit from the former president could be beneficial for the city.
