Trumpinistas in Fla encouraged to vote absentee

On a red-hot summer day, President Trump’s reelection campaign kicked off a Florida bus tour Monday in one of the state’s bluest counties, with Eric Trump and top Sunshine State Republicans on board.

Democrats, meanwhile, derided the bus campaign as the “Magical Mystery Tour.”

The outdoor event in the 90 degree-plus heat drew a little more than 100 people to a parking lot on the south side of U.S. Highway 192, across the from the Osceola Heritage Park where Trump held one of his large indoor rallies four years ago to this week.

He also asked supporters to vote “absentee,” which in Florida is called “mail-in” voting. President Trump has attacked voting by mail across the country but said the process was “safe and secure” in Florida because Ron DeSantis is governor despite the process being no different from dozens of states.

“In Florida, you have an honest system,” he said.

They were also encouraged to knock on doors for the campaign.

And, he'll be running as the Orange Jesus.

"He was called a misogynist, he was called xenophobic, he was called a racist," Lewandowski said of Trump. "Now, we call him savior. Thank you, Mr. President."
