ORLANDO, FloridaOn Tuesday night, President Trump will arrive in this central Florida city to officially and publicly launch his 2020 campaign, to what is expected to be a large, overflow crowd of adoring fans in a swing state he won in 2016. His allies and campaign staff have pulled out all the necessary stops in their efforts to please the spectacle-minded, pageantry-obsessed president.
Hell be delivering his speech in the affirming glow of his loving followers and loyalistsand in the heart of a Florida city that largely despises him.
Outside his planned rally at the Amway Center, Trump supporters were lining up more than 40 hours ahead of the event in the hopes of getting into the venue. Throughout Tuesday, the campaign is hosting a tailgate-style festival outside the center featuring live music and food trucks. On Monday evening, Women for Trump hosted its KICK OFF PARTY for the campaign season at Westgate Resort and Spa in Orlando, with special guests like Trump diehard Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser on his 2020 team.
And on a highway between Orlando International Airport and downtown, a billboard was flashing a big, bold advertisement for Chinese Americans for TRUMP. It was less than a week before he won the presidency in November 2016 that Trump gathered thousands of his devotees and voters at the Orlando Amphitheaterwhere a small plane circled the area, flying a FL Chinese Americans for Trump sign.
