Cincinnati isn't far from Cleveland.

Trump is gutless and has no business leading our country.

NAACP President Cornell William Brooks told CNN on Tuesday that the presumptive GOP presidential nominee will not be present at this weekend’s event due to an apparent scheduling conflict. Instead, Clinton will attend and give a speech.

“Mr. Trump has declined our invitation, so we will hear from Sec. Clinton,” Brooks said. “Namely, the explanation given was that (the Republicans) are holding their convention at the same time. We are, of course, in Cincinnati, they are in Cleveland. We were hoping he would make the short trip from Cleveland to Cincinnati.”
