President Donald Trump held another MAGA rally. This time it also served as the official kick off of his 2020 presidential campaign.

He chose a location that handed him two pieces of bad news yesterday before his MAGA rally: the conservative, Republican supporting newspaper the Orlando Sentinel endorsed "Not Donald Trump" for 2020 and Quinnipiac polls revealed his support in Florida fell behind all the Democratic frontrunners.

However the MAGA rally formula went on as normal, replete with the standard chants of most of the same rhetoric that constituted his 2016 campaign. The evening included mocking of his political rivals by his family and the President himself.

Also included were references to Trump's 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton.

The familiar chant of "lock her up" was started and encouraged at the June 18 MAGA rally, over 2 years since former Secretary of State Clinton left public service and the political trail to become a private United States citizen.

Watch excerpts of the MAGA rally here.

Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum remarked on the President and his supporters continued obsession with Secretary Clinton.

But Clinton responded to let Gillum—and everyone else—know she's unbothered.

People loved the response and offered a few of their own.

They also offered observations on President Trump.

In addition to targeting Clinton, Trump also made several false claims about other political rivals and boasted of the things he would accomplish if reelected. The 2020 presidential election is now 502 days away.

The book #StillWithHer : Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Moments That Sparked a Movement is available here.

"Foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton with essays by Chelsea Clinton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Kwan, and many others. This book is a look forward at all the positive movements that have come forth from Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic campaign for President."

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
