NEW YORK — Kirsten Gillibrand wants to be the most anti-Trump candidate running for president in 2020, and she took her campaign to one of Donald Trump’s gilded front doors to prove the point.

The New York Democrat, who launched her campaign last week, stood outside the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan on Sunday to rail against the president for “tearing apart the moral fabric of our country” and to tell voters that she’s compiled the most anti-Trump record, “more than anyone else in the Senate.”

The location was part of Gillibrand’s efforts to carve out room in the crowded 2020 Democratic primary by painting herself as the biggest possible contrast with Trump. But it could also have a more immediate side effect: a tweet or some sort of reaction from the impulsive president, which could prove a massive boon for a campaign that has yet to gain traction in polling.

Pointing to the Trump Hotel, Gillibrand told the crowd of several hundred: “Look up at that tower — a shrine to greed, division and vanity. And now look around you. The greater strength, by far, is ours. The power lies within us.
