Trump floors cheering Miami crowd as he enters to Broadway anthem and speaks in front of giant 'Les Mis' video screen art Donald Trump adopted a new campaign theme on Friday in Miami Came on stage as music from 'Les Misérables' played Video screen showed a take-off on the 2012 film adaptation's poster It read 'Les Deplorables' and replaced French revolutionary flags with the Stars and Stripes and a 'TRUMP' flag Hillary Clinton insulted Trump supporters a week ago by saying 'half' of them belong in 'the basket of deplorables' and some are 'irredeemable' Donald Trump unveiled a new visual campaign theme in Miami on Friday a mashup of the Broadway musical 'Les Misérables' and an epithet Hillary Clinton leveled at his supporters one week ago. He took the stage, introduced by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as the 'Les Mis' anthem 'Do You Hear the People Sing' blasted through loudspeakers. The video screen behind the podium flashed to an artistic rendering of 'Les Deplorables' pilfered from Reddit complete with USA and 'Trump' flags replacing the French colors, and a bald eagle soaring over the revolutionary scene. 'Welcome to all of you deplorables!' Trump boomed as thousands screamed 'Trump! Trump! Trump!' and 'We love you!' Bastille Day? Donald Trump entered his Miami rally on Friday as the theme song from 'Les Miserables' played and the video wall behind the podium flashed to tribute artwork including an insult aired by Hillary Clinton a week ago They got the joke: Thousands inside the James L. Knight Center cheered when they recognized the play on words Unforced error: Hillary Clinton said last week that half of Trump's supporters belong in 'the basket of deplorables' Clinton said 'half' of Trump voters belonged in 'the basket of deplorables' as 'racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic [and] Islamaphobic' Republicans. 'Some of those folks they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America,' Clinton said. His supporters have embraced the Clinton label and worn it as a badge of honor, and in the space of just a few days Trump rally-goers have already begun to sport 'I am deplorable' t-shirts and signs. 'My opponent slanders you as "deplorable" and "irredeemable" boy that second word is tough,' he said Friday night. 'You don't hear that much. It means you can never come back.' 'I call you hard-working American patriots who love your family,' he continued, 'and really, really, really love your country.' Trump bashed his Democratic opponent's stamina and complained about the same scorched-earth campaign style that carried him through the Republican primary season.
