It's the campaign "that has never stopped," according to The Late Show's Stephen Colbert.

Trump officially kicked off his 2020 election campaign in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday, and Colbert went through the footage, dismissing any hope the tone of these rallies would change from what we saw in 2016.

"For those of you who were hoping that now that he’s president his tone would change, last night was a swift kick in the old hopey-changey," he said.

After showing clips of the crowd chanting "lock her up," Colbert quipped: "You know for all his bad environmental policies, Trump is very committed to recycling his garbage."

Ouch.
