President Trump to Rally in Pennsylvania's 18th District
He said former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush had let North Korea's nuclear program go unchecked, resulting in a crisis he was determined to solve.
Trump said the candidate he most wants to run against in 2020 is Oprah Winfrey, predicting the campaign "would be a painful experience for her".
While attacking the media for second-guessing his eagerness to meet with Kim, Trump said he will do what he thinks is best. His new slogan will be "Keep America great!" with an exclamation point. But by the next day, the coverage had turned. Trump is discussing how he came to his decision to meet with Kim Jong Un at a rally aimed at boosting special election candidate Rick Saccone.
Ahead of his speech, the president tweeted there would be a "big and happy crowd", and that Rick will "help me a lot" if he's in Congress. "Peace. I think it's time, and I think we've shown great strength". "I may leave fast, or we may sit down and make the greatest deal for the world and for all of these countries, including, frankly, North Korea, and that's what I hope happens".
Trump administration officials including White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta have also campaigned for Saccone.
The rally at an airport hanger in the Pittsburgh suburbs takes Trump back to familiar political terrain, and it comes after his announcement Thursday to impose new tariffs on imported steel and aluminum meant to please the base that carried him to a surprise victory in 2016.
Trump says, "We're saving the steel" and that both steel and aluminum are "back", drawing cheers.
Polls in Pennsylvania's 18th District show a tight race. Trump easily won the district in the 2016 presidential race. That's the president's well-known political slogan adoring hundreds of red hats at the rally.
Still, Saccone, 60, a conservative Air Force veteran and former college professor, appeared hopeful that the association with Trump could pull him over the finish line. The crowd roared its approval and began chanting "CNN sucks!"

Exports dip, widen US trade deficit
China is on a long march to modernization and it has no need or intention to replace the United States' worldwide role, Yi said. The tariffs would "seriously impact the normal order of global trade", the ministry said.
McDaniel credits Trump for "record unemployment" and bringing "3 million jobs back to America". There are also doubts about how far Trump's policies will go toward resuscitating the battered American steel industry. Saccone told Fox's Neil Cuvato in an interview Friday that his district is "steel town" and the people of his district support the president's new tariffs on steel and aluminum.
McDaniel didn't specifically mention tariffs. "We need more Republicans to continue our already successful agenda!"
Mr. Trump also took shots at the Democratic candidate, Conor Lamb, who Mr. Trump bestowed with the nickname "Lamb the Sham". Trump won the 18th Congressional District outside Pittsburgh by almost 20 points.
The visit is a politically risky one for Trump - Saccone has lost his early lead in the race as Democrats in the district, with an anti-Trump message, gained momentum.
The two men are vying for the seat left vacant when former Rep. Tim Murphy, a Republican, resigned a year ago after revelations of an extramarital affair.
Murphy quit last fall after his hometown newspaper reported he had suggested a mistress get an abortion when they thought she might be pregnant.
Trump talked about North Korea, the possibility of running against Oprah, his new campaign slogan for 2020 and more at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night for state representative Rick Saccone.

The special election on Tuesday is to replace Republican Rep. Tim Murphy, who resigned past year amid revelations of an extramarital affair in which the anti-abortion lawmaker urged his mistress to get an abortion when he thought she was pregnant.
