Trump urged his supporters to “keep this team in place” for another four years.
“We will continue to make America big and great, but then we will obviously keep America great. That is why I stand before you tonight to officially launch my campaign for the presidency,” Trump said.
“Our radical Democratic opponents are obsessed with hatred. They want to destroy us, they want to destroy our country as we know it. This is unacceptable, this will not happen,” he added.
On no issue are Democrats more extreme – and more depraved – than when it comes to Border Security. The Democrat Agenda of open borders is morally reprehensible. It is the great betrayal of the American Middle Class and our Country as a whole! #Trump2020 pic.twitter.com/f9RJhpp50J
