Yesterday, President Donald Trump spoke for about 25-minutes at the Embassy Suites on Verdae Boulevard in Greenville. He landed about 5:20 p.m. at Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, creating gridlock traffic on Verdae + temporary closures on I-85. Why was he in town? To endorse South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster’s 2018 campaign. In 2016, McMaster was the first statewide politician to endorse Trump’s presidential campaign. The event was closed to the media, but according to a video posted by The State, he said “It is my honor to give my endorsement to Henry McMaster. He’s going to be, for many years, a great governor.” |
