The Trump rally in Orlando, Florida, comes just after his campaign fired several pollsters whose internal polls, leaked to the press, contained discouraging data on the president’s re-election options in several key states.

But Trump insisted on Monday that those are “false polls” and predicted that this Tuesday will beat “records” of attendance at his meeting at 8:00 pm (00:00 GMT on Wednesday), in which he will be accompanied by his wife Melania and the US Vice President, Mike Pence.
