TRUMP 2020: President Trump Re-Election Campaign Rally
President Trump formally launched his 2020 re-election
campaign Tuesday night before a jam-packed crowd in Orlando's Amway Center
arena, and quickly unloaded on the media organizations and government actors he
said tried their hardest with "everything they had" to bring down
both his candidacy and presidency.
To chants of "USA," Trump took the stage after
brief remarks by Vice President Mike Pence and first lady Melania Trump, and
recalled his unlikely rise to the presidency. "We stared down the unholy
alliance of lobbyists and donors and special interests who made a living
bleeding our country dry," Trump said.
"The swamp is fighting back so viciously and
violently. For the last two and a half years, we have been under siege.” With
some help from the crowd as the rally continued, Trump appeared to settle on a
new campaign slogan: "Keep America Great."
Just over four years ago, Trump descended through the
pink marble and brass atrium of Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for
president, the first step on a journey few analysts believed would take him all
the way to the White House.
This time, thousands of Trump supporters arrived more
than 40 hours in advance to secure a spot in the Amway Center, despite
sweltering heat. Some had been camped in chairs for several nights.
