WASHINGTON Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia, a Democrat who was elected last year even as President Trump carried the state by 42 points, is expected to announce Thursday night at a rally with Mr. Trump that he is changing parties, according to three sources familiar with the plans.Speaking to reporters in the White House Thursday, Mr. Trump promised a very big announcement at a gathering in Huntington, W.V., that is expected to draw thousands of supporters from across Appalachia, a region that gave Mr. Trump some of the largest margins of his election.

To make that message go away, you need to comply with their terms, or find another online storage location for images. Just wanted to share this as I had to deal with it for a client recently (I'm a web developer).

Let them wallow in their hollers without running water and decent medical care. Reality star president's only need a few soundbites to win over the ignorant people of good ole' Appalachia.
