Trump To Sell His Family As The New Kennedys At Reelection Launch



https://www.politicususa.com/2019/06/18/trump-kennedys-reelection.html



Posted on Tue, Jun 18th, 2019 by Jason Easley



Trump will be continuing his push to sell his family to America as the new Kennedys at his reelection campaign launch in Florida.
Trump to drag his whole family to Florida

ABC News reported, “Donald Trump’s official campaign kickoff on Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida, will showcase the president and Vice President Mike Pence, along with Trump’s adult children, campaign officials told ABC News. Amid flourishes, such as a convention-style balloon drop, there will be the implicit message that what’s being sold is not just Trump, but his family. First lady Melania, Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner, Don. Jr. and Eric are their own political celebrities now — visiting royalty in the United Kingdom and part of the package that the president is offering up for a second term.”
Trump thinks that the Trumps are the new Kennedys

Trump proclaimed his wife Melania to be the “new Jackie O.” during an interview on Fox News. It has been reported that the Trump kids went on the trip to the UK because the president is trying to package his family as American royalty like the Kennedys. Trump isn’t JFK. Melania isn’t Jackie O., and his children will never be held in the same regard as the Kennedys.

No one is going to buy a family that is so cold and distant from one another to be the Kennedys. The Trumps will never be beloved. They will never be liked. The American people can smell deceit and corruption a mile away, and the Trumps may be the most criminal family unit to ever occupy the White House.

The Note: Trump family affair to highlight campaign launch

Trump wants plenty of Trumps to help let Trump be Trump.


Donald Trump's official campaign kickoff on Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida, will showcase the president and Vice President Mike Pence, along with Trump's adult children, campaign officials told ABC News.



Amid flourishes, such as a convention-style balloon drop, there will be the implicit message that what's being sold is not just Trump, but his family. First lady Melania, Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner, Don. Jr. and Eric are their own political celebrities now -- visiting royalty in the United Kingdom and part of the package that the president is offering up for a second term.

Trump's main messages on Tuesday night are a mystery to even his campaign staffers, who were building in the expectation that he would go off script -- if he had one.

But with the president rejecting evidence that he's starting from behind, and drawing confidence from the enthusiasm of the crowds he sees, the Trumpian touches are a key part of the reelection argument. .....

don't realize that Trump and his family would not want to spend a single minute in the same room with any of them.

Trump looks out on a crowd like this and sees an ocean of rubes whom he has conned into giving him power. His supporters often claim that they feel looked down on, abandoned, and disrespected by society. The sad and pitiful truth is that Trump looks at them and sees them as low class and ignorant and nothing more than useful tools. These people coming to see him tonight fail to comprehend that neither Trump nor a single member of his family have any interest in them at all.

No doubt Ivanka will show up at tonight's rally wearing a $3,000 dress looking like she is on her way to hanging out at a club where not one person in the audience would have the luck of getting past the bouncer.

After visiting France, Trump wanted a military parade.

After the state visit to Britain, he wants a royal family.

After his next meeting with Kim Jong un, will he want our troops to goosestep?

But don jr and Eric are only worth it if you are a lawyer and can keep them out of prison on your own dime! They're literally worth less than their lawyer's fees.

And absolutely no one will take Jared at any price.
