Milwaukee County is concerned the rally would attract protesters. From Belling.com:Exclusive: Milwaukee County cancels Saturday Trump rally at Mitchell Airport; that's why it has been moved to Waukeshahttps://t.co/AqXO2FnWWl@MarkBellingShow

The rally featuring President Trump Saturday evening near the Waukesha Airport was actually scheduled for a site at Mitchell International in Milwaukee but was cancelled on orders of the Milwaukee airport director. The airport director answers to Milwaukee County officials, led by County Executive David Crowley, a Democrat. I have obtained a copy of a letter sent Tuesday to Chip Zens, the CEO of Freight Runner Express, a private air service with its own large hangar and grounds on the airport grounds. Airport Director Matthew Hofman stated in his letter that the likely attendance of protesters was unacceptable and ordered Zens to notify the Trump team to cancel the event. Hoffman’s letter states that neither the Trump team nor Zens obtained prior approval.I remember when vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan held a rally at Mitchell the night before Election 2012. Protesters and disruption weren't a concern then.
