Trump tried out some new messaging during his rally tonight, as an impeachment inquiry casts a shadow over his campaign
DALLAS — Texas on Thursday night offered President Donald Trump a much-needed break from the backlash over his Syria decision and the relentlessness of the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry.
“The radical left tolerates no dissent,” he told his supporters. “These people are crazy. They have absolutely no respect for the will of the American people. First it was the Russia hoax. Then it was the smearing of a fine man, Justice Kavanaugh. Now they continue the outrageous impeachment witch hunt. They come after me, but what they are really doing is coming after the Republican Party.”
“The Bidens got rich while Americans got robbed,” he said on the same day the White House announced that it would hold the next G7 summit at the president’s resort in Doral, Fla.On Thursday alone, Trump announced that Energy Secretary Rick Perry would depart by the end of the year, while the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, told reporters the administration had held up aid to Ukraine as leverage to nudge the country to investigate corruption.
Trump’s decision to travel to this decidedly red state came as his campaign seeks to build support for congressional Republicans struggling with brutal 2020 reelection battles shaped by the president’s wobbly political standing. “I expect President Trump to win Texas by 5 percentage points, not 9 points this time,” said Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University. “There are long-term demographic changes taking place in the state that eat into Republican support. The major cities like Austin, Houston and Dallas are already leaning blue. Plus, his Republican coalition has been destabilized by his own actions and conduct.
Trump headlined a luncheon event in Fort Worth on Thursday where the top tickets went for $250,000 per couple, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO.
