Trump to Kick Off His Re-election Campaign on June 18 in Orlando

WASHINGTON — On June 15, 2015, Donald J. Trump descended an escalator inside his signature Manhattan property, Trump Tower, greeted the cheering supporters paid to attend, and announced an unlikely presidential candidacy.
A little more than four years later, on June 18, President Trump will officially begin his re-election campaign inside a 20,000-person arena in Orlando, Fla., a kickoff that will be greeted this time with an understanding across the ideological spectrum of his political skills.
“I will be announcing my Second Term Presidential Run with First Lady Melania, Vice President Mike Pence, and Second Lady Karen Pence on June 18th in Orlando, Florida, at the 20,000 seat Amway Center,” the president announced on Twitter on Friday. “Join us for this Historic Rally!”
Mr. Trump’s incendiary announcement speech four years ago, in which he accused Mexicans of being rapists and bringing crime and drugs into the United States, was a harbinger of the campaign and the presidency that were to come. Throwing away the remarks prepared for him by his small crew of advisers, Mr. Trump ad-libbed in the discursive style that has become his trademark.
