Donald Trump has officially kicked off his 2020 Presidential re-election campaign, at a 20,000-strong rally in Orlando, Florida.
The President of the United States wasted no time, taking jabs at previous campaign-runner Hillary Clinton. In words that sounded mighty similiar to the 2016 election, Trump accused the politician as being ‘crooked’.
Before taking the stage, Eric Trump riled up the crowd chanting slogans such as “CNN Sucks!” and “We’re going to fight”.
The Trump campaign has embraced a new slogan this year around as well, “Keep America Great”.
Within minutes of getting up on stage, Trump began referring back to previous campaign statements including the scandal around leaked emails from a private server owned by the Clinton campaign.
“But, can you imagine if I got a subpoena, think of this, if I got a subpoena for emails, if I deleted one email like a love note to Melania, it’s the electric chair for Trump.” he said.
“The Democrats don’t care about Russia, they only care about their own political power. They went after my family, my business, my finances, my employees, almost everyone that I’ve ever known or worked with,’ he argued. ‘But they are really going after you. That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about us, it’s about you. They tried to erase your vote, erase your legacy of the greatest campaign and the greatest election probably in the history of our country,” Trump went on to say.
“They wanted to deny you the future you demanded and the future that America deserved and that now America is getting. Our radical Democrat opponents are driven by hatred, prejudice and rage. They want to destroy you, and they want to destroy our country as we know it. Not acceptable, it’s not going to happen. Not gonna happen.”
Trump claimed that Democrats as a party would use the ‘power of the law to punish their opponents’ if they won the presidency.
