Donald Trump Cancels On Heritage Foundation Event At Last Minute



Apparently, Donald Trump has cancelled his appearance at today's event with the Heritage Foundation in South Carolina, although ten other GOP White House hopefuls will definitely be there, hats in hand.

According to the New York Daily News, the cancellation was very last minute. Like, today.

This likely won't sit well with the evangelical faction of Republican voters, which Trump has been struggling with for several weeks.

This could also be considered something of a snub to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is also scheduled to speak at the event.
