President Trump's re-election kickoff rally was like a TV reboot

The New York Times

"How do you keep a TV serial going past its fourth season?" says James Poniewozik, offering a TV critic's perspective of last night's rally in Orlando. "You reinvent, or you repeat. You find a new story, or you bring back old reliable villains who seemed to have been written off. The Donald J. Trump re-election kickoff rally Tuesday, at the Amway Center in Orlando, was an attempt to recreate the media-dominating phenomenon of four years ago. Like many an ongoing series later in its run, it was a bigger-budget operation, the production more lavish, the set physically larger. But, filled with callbacks, fan favorites and references to moments from its first season, it was more rerun than re-imagination."
