The room was packed at CPAC when former President Donald Trump took the stage to riotous applause. Trump has kept a hold on the Republican party since leaving office in January 2020, continuing to drive the philosophy and ethos of the conservative movement.
Trump has been an outspoken critic of President Joe Biden, and has spoken in scathing terms about his policies for America both domestically and internationally. He recently launched a new social media company, Truth Social, which has an extensive waiting list as it slowly rolls out.
The ballroom at the Rosen Shingle Creek, in Orlando, Fla. began filling up hours before Trump spoke as fans and supporters crowded in for what was essentially a Trump rally at the nation’s largest conference for conservative culture and policy. Trump is more than a politician, but a social phenomenon whose popular support still frustrates and confuses mainstream media, while the pro-Trump contingent presses for him to run for a second term in 2024.
“USA USA USA,” the crowd chanted as Trump spoke to the crowd.
Trump said that the conservative movement is “strong, and growing stronger every day. The radical left is exposed and they’re weak and their pathetic policies have been out there long enough now,” he said, that Americans in the GOP will never be swayed.
