Trump says it's "not the right time" to have a big convention in Jacksonville. He says he needs to protect the American people, even though they said "sir," we can make this work easily.
Trump: "I told my team it's time to cancel the Jacksonville, Florida component of the GOP convention." !
Trump: We're going to do other things, like "tele-rallies" and other stuff, "and I'll still do a convention speech in a different form, but we won't do a big, crowded convention, per se. It's just not the right time for that."
Trump says he made this decision even though lots of people "desperately" wanted to be there, given that the pageantry and such were really top of the line.
