Trump held his first Make America Great Again event of 2020 in the battleground state of Ohio
TOLEDO, Ohio — President Donald Trump moved into reelection mode on Thursday with a boisterous rally here in which he blasted Democrats for trying to oust him just as he ordered the killing of two foreign fighters he called the biggest “monsters” on the planet.
Late last week, Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani in a drone strike in Iraq, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile strike against Iraqi air bases housing U.S. troops. By Wednesday, the president sought to de-escalate the crisis in a White House address announcing sanctions rather than military retaliation.
On Thursday night, the president lashed out at some of his 2020 Democratic rivals — Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., for having a name that Trump says no one can pronounce, dubbing him “Alfred E. Neuman” and “Howdy Doody”; and Sen. Elizabeth Warren for inflating her Native American heritage, once again mocking her as “Pocahontas.”
Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani have accused Biden, while he was serving as vice president, of helping secure lucrative deals for his son, who at one time served on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma Holdings. Trump and Giuliani have defended their efforts, saying it was part of a broader effort to eradicate corruption in the former Soviet republic.
“We’ll sign that terrific and fully enforceable Phase One trade deal with China,” he said. “And again, we’re keeping the tariffs on because we’ll use that for another one. We are taking billions — you remember what I said: We’re not paying for it, because China devalued their currency and they put a lot of money into the pot. We’re not paying for it. And now they’re starting to say, I guess he was right.
Trump is looking to repeat his 2016 victory in Ohio, a state that has voted for every presidential election victor but one since 1944 and is vital to Trump’s hopes in November.
