President Donald Trump formally kicked off his 2020 reelection campaign on Tuesday night in Orlando, but in many ways it looked a lot like 2016.

Trump mentioned Hillary Clinton frequently, and the crowd replied with their ’16 chants of “lock her up.”

Trump even toyed with keeping the same campaign slogan, at one point asking the audience to choose between 2016′s “Make America Great Again” and the apparent new slogan, “Keep America Great.”

Trump’s critics panned the throwback speech on Twitter:

I’ve been overoptimistic in the past. But I just don’t think he’s going to beat Hillary this time. https://t.co/xNG22H7fGL

When Hillary Clinton runs in 2020, Trump is totally ready for her.

A new vision would require sustained thought, which he’s not capable of. https://t.co/BRJABK0r9V

I remember when I had a bad concussion one of the first questions the doctors asked when evaluating me was do you know what year it is? I answered correctly, Trump seems lost I think he has lost his mind he has some cognitive inadequacies

The only nice thing you can say about Trump’s sick obsession with Hillary is that it’s the longest he’s ever gone in his life focused on one woman.

Yeah, this'll keep people from accusing Trump of being an out of touch senior citizen who doesn't know what year it is. https://t.co/oYzP26AVSx

The thing that got people going most at Trump’s rally was yelling “Lock her up” over and over again, and turning around and booing the press pack whenever he or his kids mentioned the media. We are stuck in an endless 2016 loop, people!

Trump is spending more time talking about the 2016 election than the 2020 one

Just curious did I miss something is Hillary running in 2020? Trump keeps mentioning her. Oh wait I know tonight was a repeat of a 2016 speech. He needs some new material that or someone needs to tell him what year it is.

It's so cool that Trump and his supporters think he's running against Hillary again.
