President Donald Trump will hold a Thursday evening campaign rally in the critical state of New Hampshire.
Trump’s primary victory in the Granite State in 2016 propelled him to the GOP nomination, and New Hampshire will be one of the most important battleground states in 2020.
Stay tuned to Breitbart News for live updates of Trump’s rally at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) in Manchester. All times eastern.
—
7:51 PM: Trump says Obama is more popular than he is in Germany and says he would not be doing his job right if he were more popular than Obama abroad. He then says more than 7 million Americans have been lifted off of food stamps since he took office.
7:48 PM: Trump says New Hampshire is like “central casting” for the closing of factories before he won in 2016. Trump says “everything we had was depleted” and now “we’ve rebuilt our military like never before.”
Trump says America was disrespected abroad and “they don’t disrespect us anymore, folks.” Trump brags about getting delinquent European nations to pay their fair share for NATO. Trump now whacks the Obama administration for paying Iran billions in cash and getting nothing in return. He says Iran now wants to make a deal because the “sanctions are not good for them” and “they are not happy.” He says America has the “hottest economy anywhere in the world.”
“America is working again. America is winning again. America is respected again,” Trump says.
7:42 PM: Trump says the the group of “socialists or communists” taking over the Democrats is not far away. He asks if they want to pay 90%+ in taxes. Trump says his Pocahontas attacks can be “revived very quickly” and “we’ll have some fun” in the Granite State if Warren is the nominee. He polls the crowd re: MAGA vs. KAG. Crowd cheers for latter and Trump holds up a “Keep America Great” red hat.
Trump says the “Socialists want to take it away.”
He says China wants to make a deal but he may not be ready to make a deal with them. Trump claims China’s devaluation will hurt China…
He then calls out the “fake news” as the crowd boos and chants “CNN Sucks!”
(Campaign rally or Thursday Night Smackdown!?)
7:38 PM: Trump asks: “Is there anything better than a Trump rally?”
Crowd boos when Trump mocks Sleepy Joe’s rally. He says he sorta hopes that it will be Biden. Trump, now playing political pundit, says Pocahontas is rising, Kamala is falling, and Beto is gone. He says Sleepy Joe “may limp across the finish line.”
Trump mocks Biden’s campaign for cutting back on his appearances because Biden has been “such a disaster.”
Trump mocks the New York Times for “all the news that’s not fit to print” and the demotion of one of their deputy editors
7:35 PM: Trump says he campaigned three years ago to “make America great again” and “that’s exactly what we’ve done.” He says MAGA is the greatest slogan in the history of politics.
7:31 PM: Trump reminiscing about the New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary in 2016–“that was the beginning.” Trump says he is in Manchester to officially launch his New Hampshire campaign and immediately blasts the “fake polls” put out by the “fake news media.” Trump says he doesn’t think he is tied with three other Democrats because they only get hundreds of people at their rallies.
Trump says “the greatest political movement in the history of our country” started in New Hampshire.
7:30 PM: Trump appears on stage and is about to get the rally started.

6:35 PM: Perhaps a preview of what he will say at tonight’s rally, which is scheduled to start at 7 PM ET: Trump says Omar and Tlaib have “become the face of the Democrat Party.” He says they are anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. Trump says what they have said is “disgraceful” and he can’t imagine why Israel would let them in.

organizers say over 15,000 people registered online for the event. The arena only seats 11,000 people, so the remaining crowd will watch Trump speak on a large screen above the audience. @wgbhnews pic.twitter.com/GMUX79Auw9
