“We all knew Biden’s government would be bad, but none of us even imagined how bad they would be and how far they would go,” Trump told a crowd of enthusiastic supporters at the Conservative Political Action Center. conference (CPAC) said. ) in Orlando, Fla.
In a speech that lasted more than an hour, Trump tore Biden’s new presidency by beating him over topics ranging from immigration to the pandemic, trade to transgender rights. He described the Biden government as “anti-work, anti-family, anti-border, anti-energy, anti-women and anti-science.”
The speech in particular reflected Trump’s first speech as a presidential candidate in 2015 in his strong emphasis on immigration and the border.
“They may be murderers. They may be rapists. They could be drug smugglers. You take them and release them in our country, ‘he said, referring to undocumented immigrants.
Trump also focused on Biden’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, which receives credit for the distribution of vaccines in the US
“I have given a modern medical miracle to the new administration,” he said, referring to the vaccine.
‘I pushed the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] like they have never been pushed before, ”he continued. ‘They’ve never been pushed the way I pushed them. I did not like them at all, but as soon as we did, I said, ‘I love you very much now.’ ‘
Trump has also hit conservative issues with hot buttons, including movements to allow transgender women to participate in women’s sports.
“What coach would want to recruit a young woman if her record could be easily broken by someone born as a man?” he said. “I think it’s crazy. We need to protect the integrity of women’s sport.”
Trump took the opportunity to continue to falsely say that he won the 2020 presidential election while asking for further voting restrictions. At one point, his comments on the 2020 election elicited chants of “you won” in the crowd.
The speech comes amid a deepening in the Republican Party. The former president, who was overflowing with praise and worship during the four-day event in Orlando, wants to strengthen his grip on a party that sees the internal divisions wash out after the events of January 6, when a pro-Trump mob storms the Capitol an attempt to disrupt the certification of Biden’s election college victory.

“If Republicans do not stick together, the RINOs will [Republicans in name only] which we are surrounded by will destroy the Republican Party, ‘he added.
Prior to his speech, Trump won the CPAC straw, with 55 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him in a 2024 hypothetical GOP preference.
The former president also ruled out starting a new party, saying there was no reason to split GOP votes. “We will be united and strong like never before,” Trump said.
The event in Orlando highlighted how strong Trump’s influence in the IDP remains, as the party wants to regain majorities in the House and Senate by 2022.
“Trumpism means strong boundaries,” Trump said. “It means law enforcement. This means a very strong protection for the Second Amendment. ‘
“It means support for the forgotten men and women who have been exploited for so many years,” he continued.
And Trump did not rule out running again in 2024. He repeatedly teased the possibility in his speech and cheered the crowd loudly.
“We will take back the House first, and then a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House. I wonder who it will be, “he said at the end of his speech to loud applause.
