In the ballroom of the Hotel Tucson City Center, approximately 350 supporters of President Trump came out to hear directly from Brad Parscale, President Trump’s campaign manager, and daughter-in-law and campaign senior advisor, Lara Trump.
The event kicked off with an introduction by Angel mother Mary Ann Mendoza whose son, Sergeant Brandon Mendoza of the Mesa Police Department, was killed by an illegal alien. The illegal alien responsible for Brandon’s death was under the influence at over three times the legal limit coupled with methamphetamines.

Prior to the first speaker taking the stage, an invocation was offered by Fernando Gonzales. The invocation was followed immediately the Pledge of Allegiance led by Tucson local activist Martina Romero.
Brad Parscale took the stage to a thunderous applause and led into the history of himself and how he came to work for the Trump campaign. The towering six-foot eight-inch frame dwarfed the podium as he regaled his history of coming from Kansas and self-identifying as a serial entrepreneur.
Three and a half minutes into his speech, a small protest erupted. The half-dozen protestors shouted, “Tear down the wall” and “Trump is a traitor”. They were immediately escorted out of the building by Pima County Sheriff’s deputies and hotel security.
With order restored about a minute later, the speech continued without skipping a beat. Mr. Parscale addressed the historic numbers from the 2016 election and contrasted them with the projected goals for the upcoming 2020 election cycle.
He shared his vision of a potential commercial that would draw many laughs directed at health care ideas being proposed by the democrat candidates for president.
He went further to inform the attendees on the mission of the campaign and to motivate them to talk to their friends, family, and neighbors.
After about 15 minutes, Mr. Parscale introduced Mrs. Lara Trump to a thunderous applause.
Mrs. Trump opened her portion of the event prompting the crowd to a chant of “Four More Years”. She then turned the previous protest into a compliment for Brad Parscale by saying “You know they don’t try and stop losers, but they try and stop winners…They know we’re winning.”
She introduced herself by sharing her story of growing up in North Carolina. She also shared a personal insight of some people hired by the patriarch of the Trump organization. She implied he has an uncanny ability to see the potential in people even when they cannot see it in themselves. This was the foundation of how she became part of the Trump campaign.
Mrs. Trump also told the personal story of the 2016 election night on how the campaign tuned into CNN since they would be the last to call states for the President elect.
She further went into drawing comparisons between the 2016 and the 2020 election cycles. She also drew the contrast between President Trump and the 2020 democrat candidates with the campaign slogan of Promises Made – Promises Kept and pointed out how those in congress are not working for the American people.
Mrs. Trump also sharply criticized the media and their neglected coverage of Venezuela as the policies being championed by the democrat candidates for President would lead to similar circumstances in American cities.
Conversely, she touted many of the promises made by President Trump which have come to fruition.
Both speakers took blatant slights at the democrats and their impeachment attempt currently playing out in Washington D.C. Mrs. Trump also made a point to draw comparisons of crowd sizes of all the democrat presidential candidates and President Trump. She said his supporters are camping out up to 48 hours prior to an event compared to virtually empty halls occupied by democrat supporters.
The 2020 campaign has already begun, and the Republican Party of Arizona has opted out of the Presidential Preference Election endorsing President Trump as their nominee.
Mrs. Trump wrapped up the event with the promise of bringing President Trump to Arizona before election day.
