President Trump kicked off his reelection campaign at the 20,000 seat Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday night – packing the stadium to the brim as he revealed a few clues clues about his 2020 strategy to the hyped crowd.
“Our country is more thriving, prospering and booming and truly it is soaring to new heights,” proclaimed Trump, adding that America is experiencing “perhaps the greatest economy” in US history.
As expected, Trump laid into his enemies; Democrats, the establishment, Robert Mueller (against whom Trump says he “won”), and of course – the “fake news media” which he repeatedly pointed to and mocked at several points.
Trump also laid out a dismal future if he loses in 2020 – arguing that life would get much worse under Democrats, who he says “want to destroy you and our country as we know it” with “un-American conduct.”
As The Hill’s Jordan Fabian and Jonathan Easley note, Trump offered the following five takeaways (emphasis ours):
Trump will cast Democrats as socialists and extremists
On everything from abortion rights to immigration, Trump plans to cast Democrats as far-left extremists, oftentimes in harsh terms.
Trump warned on Tuesday that Democrats had become “depraved” on the matter of border security, arguing that “the Democrat position on open borders is morally reprehensible” and a “betrayal of the American middle class.”
The president also seized on the abortion debate that ignited when Alabama passed one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the country, saying that “virtually every top Democrat” supports “ripping babies straight from the mothers’ womb.” That fight is certain to energize the president’s base of evangelical supporters.
And regardless of their thoughts on socialism, Trump plans to paint the entire 2020 Democratic field as the enemies of capitalism and the American way of life.
