On Tuesday evening in Orlando, Florida, US President Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy for a second term in the 2020 elections, presenting himself as the same political rebel who 'shook' the Washington 'establishment' four years ago and who is now the victim of an attempted persecution by a democrat.
Trump told a packed Amway Center in Orlando that he would run for president again as an underdog, "like he did in 2016."
In a speech that lasted about an hour and a half, he revisited the themes of the presidential campaign from four years ago, criticizing the media, illegal migration, and then-rival Hillary Clinton.
"Together, we forced the corrupt political establishment to step down and restored government by the people and for the people. As long as you keep this team in place, we are on the right track. Our future has never looked brighter," Trump said, to the delight of those present.
He also said that his Democratic opponents will radically change the US because they will try to legalize illegal immigrants coming across the southern border in order to strengthen the Democratic political base, reports Hina.
Trump said that the Democrats "want to destroy the country as we know it" and said that it "will not happen". "We believe that our country should be a haven for law-abiding citizens, not for criminal foreigners," he added.
"Democrats are a radical left-wing mafia that would bring socialism to the USA"
He called his opponents a radical leftist mafia that would bring socialism to the USA.
"A vote for any Democrat is a vote for radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream," he said.
Trump officially announced his candidacy at the 60th political gathering since he took office in January 2017, and first lady Melania Trump also arrived with him.
"I stand before you tonight to officially begin the race for a second presidential term. I promise you that I will never let you down," he said.
called the media "fake news"
During the speech, he harshly criticized the media, which he characterized as 'fake news', took credit for a strong economy, promoted a controversial proposal to militarize space, promised to protect the rights of Americans to their own weapons and said he wanted to launch a space mission to Mars.
Among other things, he declared himself a victim. He referred to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election, which found insufficient evidence of collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.
"We went through the biggest witch hunt in political history. It was all an illegal attempt to annul the election results," he pointed out.
