That's right folks! Not only did he apply for re-election 4 days after winning, he's decided to begin holding campaign rallies starting this weekend.

This is pretty crazy, I think. What could the purpose of this be? Does he think he needs 4 years of campaigning to win in 2020? This goes way beyond normal politics. If Obama or Clinton had done this, they would have been skewered alive. I'm sure his supporters will find some reason why his doing it is awesome, though.
My personal take on this: His fragile ego has been a bit deflated by that mean old press reporting on what he's actually doing, so he needs his blinders-on fans to come stroke him until he's erect again. I fully expect him to hold frequent rallies, so he can keep getting the gratification he requires to keep his illusion of being well loved and supported intact.
Also note, he's golfing for his 3rd weekend in a row. Now I personally think the president needs time to unwind, it's clearly a stressfull job! But in this case, it's more rank hypocrisy form a person who said "Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter."
I'm sure he "meant" something other than what he "said", amiright???

Quote:Not long after, in a posting on Twitter, Mr. Trump invited his nearly 25 million followers to attend the Saturday evening event, which will take place just up the coast from his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Palm Beach where he plans to spend the weekend. It will be his third weekend in a row on Florida’s Gold Coast.
