President Donald Trump flew into Florida on Tuesday to brag about the surging economy and his record on a host of issues, while bashing Democrats and urging voters to send more Republicans to Congress in November.

It was a sometimes rambling set piece of Trumpian oratory that stretched more than an hour long, featuring plenty of ad-libbed departures from his prepared text, storytelling and anecdotes.

And oh, yeah, he gave a shoutout to a pair of Republicans whose political races were the ostensible reason for his visit.

In other words, it was vintage Trump and the raucous crowd appeared to love every minute of it.

Based on a recent radio interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Americans will be seeing a lot of Trump on the campaign stump over the coming months. Trump said he plans to campaign for Republicans across the country five days a week in the run-up to the midterm elections in November.

Trump renewed his call for funding to build a wall on the U.S. southwest border with Mexico, as he has for several days. After he got a tepid response from congressional Republican leaders to his suggestion that he would shut down the government over the issue, the president made only a subtle reference to the threat Tuesday evening in Tampa.

“We may have to do some pretty drastic things, but we’re gonna get it,” he said. “‘Cause the Democrats, the Democrats are not voting for what we want to do, and they’re not voting and allowing our values to take place in our country.”

Trump depicted the races for governor and Senate in Florida — and more broadly, offices across the country — as a fight between good-guy Republicans and bad-guy Democrats.

“These are people that don’t care about stopping crime,” he said. “These are people who don’t care about people pouring into our country when they shouldn’t be here. They don’t care about stopping drugs from poisoning our youth and pouring over the border. They don’t care.”

At another point, the president said, “They want to let MS-13 rule our country. That’s not gonna happen.”

Trump did plenty of boasting as well. He said America soon would be the world’s largest energy producer, and noted last week’s report that the economy grew at a 4.1 percent clip in the second quarter — “a number that everybody said was not reachable.”

Trump also reeled off a list of unemployment statistics for various categories — including a record-low rate for African-Americans.

“Remember I said, ‘What do you have to lose?’ Right?” he said, pointing to a man in the crowd holding a “Blacks for Trump” sign.

The president’s support has helped DeSantis rise in the polls against Secretary of State Adam Putnam, with a month to go before the August 28 primary.

Trump also referenced America’s escalating trade dispute with China and insisted that the targets of retaliatory tariffs are with him. China has moved to impose tariffs on U.S. soybeans.

“No good. Not nice,” he said. “And you know what our farmers are saying? ‘It’s OK. We can take it.’ These are incredible people.”

Trump also said he spoke with the CEO of a major American company who told him to stay strong even though tariffs will hurt his own company.

Trump endorsed Gov. Rick Scott’s bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and also backed Rep. Ron DeSantis in his candidacy to replace Scott in the governor’s office. The president’s support has helped DeSantis rise in the polls against Secretary of State Adam Putnam, with a month to go before the August 28 primary.

Trump said Nelson wants to raise taxes, supports sanctuary cities, and opposed “Kate’s Law,” which would have increased criminal penalties for repeat illegal immigrants who committed violent crimes.

“You know, I live a lot of time in Florida,” the president said. “The only time I see Bill Nelson is five months before every election. And after while, you forget, who’s the senator?”

DeSantis thanked Trump and took a shot at Scott’s predecessor, Charlie Crist, who won election as a Republican only to switch parties after losing a Senate race.

“Florida is going in the right direction, and we need to continue our success and build upon it,” he told the crowd at the rally. “We can’t go back to the days of Charlie Crist where the good old boys run the show.”
