Fearing defeat in 2020, Trump sends paranoid propaganda to Iowa voters

......................................
Its just under a thousand days until the 2020 presidential election. But Trump is so unpopular and disliked that he is already working to fend off possible Republican challengers. And hes starting in Iowa.
Politico reports that Trumps campaign committee printed glossy, 10-page pamphlets outlining Trumps accomplishments during his first year in office and delivered them to local GOP meetings in Iowa.
........................................
The Trump pamphlets highlight topics like protecting life and ending job-killing regulations. And they reflect the Trump teams continuing detachment from reality by insisting his administration has been making government accountable.
Far from accountable, Trump has presided over a series of corruption scandals.................................
And of course, Trump himself continues to generate millions in personal revenue via his real estate holdings. And hes using the federally-financed office of the presidency to whip up business for those properties.
.......................
Politico reports that the Trump White House is monitoring potential Republican challengers to prepare for the future. Among those Trump is worried about are Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake.

Trump to launch major donor initiative after disastrous week
Modeled after George W. Bush's 'Pioneer' program, it's one of the most serious steps Trump has taken toward reelection.

Donald Trump is wrapping up the most chaotic week of his presidency by rolling out a major new donor push one of his most serious steps yet to prepare for a 2020 reelection campaign.
.............................................
At a time when his approval rating has plummeted to the low 40s, Trump is taking steps to ward off would-be primary challengers. Last month, his campaign committee printed glossy, 10-page pamphlets outlining Trumps accomplishments during his first year in office and delivered them to local GOP meetings in Iowa, home of the first-in-the-nation caucuses.
The slickly-produced pamphlets, which included topics like protecting life, ending job-killing regulations, and making government accountable, were designed to reach the Republican activists who are most involved in party affairs and likely to participate in the caucuses two years from now.
The pamphlets help keep Trump "in the game, so to speak," until the 2020 campaign begins in earnest, said Karen Fesler, an influential conservative activist in the state. Pointing out two years ahead of time what the president and his team have accomplished makes sure that caucus voters know that.
...........Trump is also using his official office to prepare for his next campaign, focusing much of his travel to states that will play an outsize role in determining the outcome of the next presidential election. Since the inauguration, for instance, Trump has visited Pennsylvania a handful of times. He is slated to return to the state next week........................
