Trump cancels two more campaign events: report

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has reportedly canceled two of his upcoming campaign events.

The reports come after news surfaced Monday that the GOP nominee will be delaying a speech on immigration that was set for later this week amid new questions over his position on the issue.

Trump has canceled a Friday rally in Las Vegas scheduled at the South Point Hotel Casino and Spa, according to the Las Vegas Sun. His campaign didn't say why the event was canceled.

The Republican nominee has also canceled an Aug. 31 rally and fundraiser in Portland, Ore., according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. Trump reportedly canceled the event due to scheduling changes.

“The campaign has decided to cancel the Aug. 31 fundraiser and rally in Portland as Mr. Trump has had to make changes to his calendar in the wake of the Louisiana flood disaster," Trump's Oregon campaign director Jacob G. Daniels told the outlet.

Some occasional efforts were made to include him in NY fund-raising activities because of his money, but he's too cheap to buy himself even enough acceptance to be invited to big parties.

He has his own agenda and being president isn't part of it. The rumblings that he is really trying to start the 21st century version of Fox News is growing louder and louder.

So the campaign is now saying it was cancelled because there was a flood in Baton Rouge. Portland is still above water, Trump's campaign is not.

Maybe its true, maybe not, we don't know. But some say he hasn't seemed well lately.

Could be Zika. Really bad Canker sores. His campaign has not denied it.
