President Trump is about to kickoff his "homecoming" rally in Sunrise, Florida. How important is the state to his re-election effort? The Trump 2020 team has the country broken down into nine regions for political field staff. Florida is the only state that is its *own* region.

Trump on the impeachment "witch hunt" says polls are actually in his favor because "everybody" is signaling "that's really bullshit."

Crowd starts to chant: "BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!"

"Doing what I do is tough," Trump says of his time in office so far, arguing "being presidential is easy."

Trump, for some reason, is discussing his surprise trip to Walter Reed last week: the doctor "took a little part of my physical." Takes opportunity to rail against media for reporting on the unannounced visit. Claims he would tell supporters if something was truly wrong.

Trump claims he went to Texas "a day later" after his visit to Walter Reed last Saturday. He actually didn't go until the following Wednesday. Also, for those keeping track, the president spent a full 8 minutes on the status of his health just now at this FL rally.

Trump is somehow discussing what Gov. DeSantis looks like without a shirt on? "I always thought Ron was a little heavy" but then said he once saw him shirtless and realized "he's strong." Maybe he meant without a jacket? Unclear.
