Donald Trump’s CPAC speech reminds Republicans who still lead the party

Former President Donald Trump crowned himself King of the GOP at CPAC on Saturday, delivering a speech to a capacity crowd that featured all the makings of the man eager to take over the White House

We did it twice. And were going to do it again, Trump told a roaring crowd inside the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando.

Trump’s roughly 90-minute speech spanned a slew of hot topics, dividing the time between cultural and political issues that will almost certainly animate the GOP base.

He lambasted President Joe Biden, decrying him as a weak and ineffectual leader. He lamented the southern border crisis, lambasted fake media and decried “radical” Democrats. He also contested the result of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump maintains voter fraud cost him the election against Biden, a claim supported by little to no evidence. He described the election as the crime of the century.

We did it, Trump added. The election was rigged.

Now 75, Trump took the stage and was greeted for a long time by his supporters. Proud to be an American” played through loudspeakers as fans chanted USA, among other rallying cries.

Several Florida lawmakers attended the event, including Republican Representatives Anthony Sabatini, Webster Barnaby and Jackie Toledo, among others. CPAC hosts a reception for state lawmakers after the event.

Other attendees included Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Madison Cawthorne of North Carolina and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.CPAC the Conservative Political Action Conference is a four-day gathering of conservative leaders, personalities and supporters of Orlando.

Prior to the event, GOP prognosticators viewed Trump and DeSantis as top attractions at CPAC, a place where candidates can gauge their presidential appeal among supporters.

But while DeSantis supporters have shown strength, Trump’s appeal among GOP voters remains strong. The roads outside the site were mostly lined with pro-Trump flags, signs and collectibles.

Trump sells, said John Minton, a self-proclaimed “America First” salesman selling Trump products near the hotel.

CPAC will release a mock poll of attendees on Sunday, but Trump is expected to come out on top again this year, with DeSantis as the second pick.

We are far from done, Trump said as supporters cheered for four more years.

Unlike DeSantis’ CPAC speech, Trump leaned into foreign affairs. He criticized Bidens’ handling of Afghanistan and explained Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s rise as a superpower.

Trump denounced the invasion as an outrage and an atrocity. He vowed to pray for Ukrainians, saying Russian dictator Vlamdamir Putin would have left the small nation alone if he was still in office. DeSantis, a presidential candidate, has yet to speak on the matter.

“I’m the only president in the 21st century under whose watch Russia hasn’t invaded another country,” Trump said.

Notably, DeSantis did not appear at Trump’s speech, an absence amplified when coupled with the fact that his daily schedule showed no other scheduled events.

Also, DeSantis didn’t mention Trump in his speech and Trump left DeSantis out of his.

While the media and forecasters predict an imminent clash between the two, other conservative leaders believe otherwise.

“I had no idea they were running against each other,” Fox News host and conservative radio giant Mark Levin joked to Florida Politics ahead of the speech when asked about a possible showdown. “As long as we get a curator.”

National conservative activist Scott Pressler, meanwhile, thinks DeSantis will not challenge Trump and may instead pose as a successor. CPAC recognized Pressler’s voter registration efforts on stage Saturday.

“DeSantis is a smart man,” Pressler said when asked about the speculation. “He wouldn’t run against the President of the United States.”
