gSave the king. Donald Trump spent Saturday afternoon worshiping his fans, boasting victory, untie his enemies, casting himself as America’s absolute monarch, supreme leader, and emperor of God.
Trump’s appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at Maryland’s National Port was featured in a “Crowded Ball with God’s Blessings and the January 6th Rebels” by country singer Lee Greenwood. It started with a loud cheer in the room.
75 minutes later, the US President stood between two stars and striped flags, pumping his fist and swaying at the villagers’ national anthem YMCA.
What emerged during that time meant that he was not too sure of himself, so he lightly empts his enemies, breaks China, breaks his skulls, leaving a global destruction in his wake. Even if he did, he was a man who was convinced of his righteous mission to make his righteous mission great again. .
As the title of Michael Wolf’s new book puts it, last November’s election was all or nothing. Defeat meant ruin, dishonor, prison. Winning meant that Trump cheerleaders liked to call the biggest comeback in political history. It also meant revenge against his perceived sufferers in the Department of Justice, Democrats and the media. As the Mar-a-Lago maritalists placed in CPAC two years ago: “I am your retaliation.”
The message he received from that victory over Kamala Harris was that he had broken his enemies, smashed his checks and balance, and smashed reality. He was invincible.
“Why, man, he will ride the narrow world best / like a colossus,” Cassius told Brutus in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar.
This was the 15th time Trump dealt with CPAC, the biggest annual rally of conservative activists. When he was in power, his freewheel speech could be dismissed as a madman’s rave review, or “weave.” Even during his first term, his extremist rhetoric brought some hopes that the democratic guardrail would hold.
But as America and the world discovered in his first month in the White House, Trump is unbound, indifferent, and is looking for blood. He took the stage at CPAC, filled with confidence and said, “America! United States!”
The 78-year-old Florida resident describes his presidency as a golf game that can match Arnold Palmer. And then, the next hole sinks another hole, then proceeds to that third hole and by the time you reach the fifth hole, you feel you can’t miss it. ”
Being here was to live in an upside down world. Trump said: “For many years, Washington was ruled by a sinister group of radical left and right Marxists, warriors and corrupt special interests.”
But then, on November 5th, he said, “We stood up against all the corrupt forces that are destroying America. We took their strength away. We stripped their confidence. …and we have reclaimed our country.”
Trump would have actually won with a bigger margin, he argued without evidence, but Democrats were “deceived like hell” and only found his victory “too big for the rig.” is. He then revisited his defeat in 2020, assuring conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell that it was “alright now” to tell the elections “equipped.”
The president bragged about his forgiveness of hundreds convicted of crimes in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol on January 6, describing him as “political prisoners” and “J6 hostages.” Some of them are in the room, screaming “J6! J6!” and “Thank you!” They became the latest celebrity of CPAC from prison cells.
Trump will also kill diversity, equity and inclusion programs, deny trans people’s identity, drive the US out of the Paris Climate Agreement, and send undocumented immigrants (“monsters”) to Guantanamo Bay I also boasted about this. He welcomed Elon Musk’s federal introspection, including international aid agency USAID.
Each time, the crowd cheered.
Until then, CPAC had few hymns this year: “Please lock her up!” Or a T-shirt featuring Joe Biden as Satan. After all, there is no obvious democratic leader that Republicans win and target. Still, it didn’t prevent Trump from unleashing his normal insults and lying to his enemies.
“Kamara,” he said. “I haven’t heard that name for a while. No one knows her last name… But with that in mind, I was grossly daring Joe and they changed him. Think about it , I was the only one who had to beat them.”
While Biden’s presidency already feels like it was thousands of years ago, Trump didn’t want to forget his audience. For the record, “Crooked Joe” won.
Trump laughed at Biden’s golf handicap and swimsuit, providing unfounded opinions. “He was a sleepy, crooked man. Awful, terrible president. He was the worst president in our country’s history… Everything he touched has changed into shit.”
Such generosity!
He targeted Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren on past claims from Native American ancestors and recycled the “Pocahontas” nickname he once gave her, saying, “She doesn’t like me. She doesn’t like her. is a very angry person. Have you noticed that she is? She is always screaming. She is crazy.”
And don’t start playing cards with liberal television host Rachel Madow. But they are studs. They’re all ruined. They are all mentally screwed. They don’t know what – their rating went down the tube. I won’t even talk about CNNs like CNN. In fact, they are pathetic.
“This Rachel Madow, what does she have? She has nothing. There’s nothing. She took the sabbatical and worked there one day a week. They paid her a lot of money. She’s not getting a rating. I need to oppose her with a rating, because she doesn’t get a rating. All she does is talk about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. All different subjects: Trump this, Trump, it. But these people are really like that, meaning they are lying. They should not be allowed to lie every night. They It’s a truly Democratic vehicle.”
But Trump loves the right-wing media that enters into CPAC. He said conservative host Bill O’Reilly said four weeks later that Trump defeated George Washington to become “the greatest president in our country’s history.”
O’Reilly was hardly alone this week by building an image of Trump as a superman who thinks sleep is for Umis. How do they love him? Let’s count the methods.
Trump’s golf caddy Dan Scabino became the vice-chief of staff at White House and described his boss as “the greatest host in America.” Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump is “the most popular human on the face of the Earth right now,” and said, “He won’t sleep. He also expects no one to sleep.” He’s twice my age and twice my energy.”
National Security Advisor Mike Waltz confirmed that Trump works 21 or 22 hours a day, and with Home Secretary Doug Burgham, Trump said he was working remarkable negotiations with Vladimir Putin and brilliant negotiations with Russia. He confidently predicted that he would receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. Ukraine.
Border Emperor Tom Homan called Trump “the greatest president of my life.” US Ambassador Elise Stefanik has been better appointed by the United Nations and called him “the largest president in our country’s history.”
And our president of homeland security Christie Noem, whose homeland in South Dakota includes Rushmore’s ripe mount, just come out and knows he is the best president of all time, our president is every day I woke up. . ”
When someone wakes up and learns it, when their self-expansion is so monumental, they seem like golfers that they will never miss. But as Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, Trump lives in a bubble of disinformation. The iron law of politics is that all the bubbles burst.
