In 103-minute speech at CPAC, Trump laid a detailed foundation for a second term that ranged from revoking China’s trade privilege to creating next-generation cities.
 
Firmly atop the conservative world with another commanding straw poll victory, former President Donald Trump is laying out a detailed vision for a second term that puts Joe Biden, federal bureaucrats and Beijing on notice while courting parents with promises to pay them “baby bonuses” and protect their children from creeping leftist ideology in schools.
 
America’s 45th president got a raucous reception Saturday evening while delivering the keynote of the Conservative Political Action Conference, pledging that if elected the nation’s 47th president to replace Joe Biden he would address the grievances of Americans who fear freedoms have been eroded, justice has been corrupted and schoolchildren have been endangered by critical race theory and transgenderism.
 
“In 2016, I declared I am your voice. Today I add I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” Trump declared to cheers.

He also suggested the 2024 election was a political apocalypse of sorts for America. “This is the final battle,” he said. “They know it. I know it. You know it. Everybody knows that this is it. Either they win, or we win. And if they win, we no longer have a country.”
 
In a speech that stretched 103 minutes, Trump laid out a sweeping vision that promised he could end Russia’s war against Ukraine even before he took office, punish China for COVID and build as many as 10 futuristic “freedom cities” while protecting seniors from Medicare and Social Security cuts and rewarding parents who have more children.
 
“We will support baby boomers, and we will support baby bonuses for a new baby boom, how does that sound?” he asked before teasing the males in the audience. “I want a baby boom. You men are so lucky out there. You are so lucky, men.”
 
Though dogged by countless investigations and civil suits, Trump has maintained his grip on the base of his party. He affirmed that control Saturday evening by handily winning the CPAC Real America’s Voice straw poll, capturing 62% of support while his nearest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, got just 20%. Trump went up, while DeSantis declined from a year ago.
 
Former TV journalist and Arizona GOP candidate Kari Lake topped the list for preferred running mates.
 
Trump vowed to eradicate the final vestiges of earlier neo-conservative influence inside the Republican Party, singling out establishment figures of the past like Jeb Bush, Karl Rove and Paul Ryan while declaring he would “expel the warmongers” and “drive out the globalists” if elected in 2024.
 
“The Republican Party was ruled by freaks, neocons, open border zealots and fools. … We’re never going back,” he said. “… We are never going back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign endless wars but demands we cut veteran benefits and retirement benefits at home.
 
“I am the only candidate who can make this promise: I will prevent World War Three.”
 
Trump also embraced anew his image as a Washington outsider, vowing to end political dynasties in the nation’s capital.
 
“We will evict Joe Biden from the White House,” he said. “We are never going to be a country ruled by entrenched political dynasties in both parties, rotten special interests, China-loving politicians, of which there are many. You listening to this Mitch McConnell?”
 
Throughout the speech, Trump gave detailed prescriptions for everything from the economy to border security. Here are some of the highlights.
 
Beating Ron DeSantis
 
Trump never mentioned the Florida governor by name, but he subtly and repeatedly signaled how he intends to attack him as a stooge of old-guard Republicans who is untested on the world stage.
 
“At the end of the day, anyone else will be intimidated, bought off, blackmailed or ripped to shreds,” Trump said in one veiled line attacking DeSantis.
 
He also signaled as he has for weeks he intends to remind voters of DeSantis’ prior advocacy for changing Medicare and Social Security to save money.
 
“We are never going back to the people that want to destroy our great social security system … even some in our own party,” he said. “I wonder who that might be.”
 
Trump also left room for DeSantis to join the ticket in an earlier Q&A session with reporters.
 
“I’ve always had a good relationship with him,” Trump said when asked by NBC News if he’d consider DeSantis as his running mate for vice president. “But it’s much too early to talk about.”
 
Putting Parents First
 
Trump’s loudest applause lines came when he vowed to put parents first, saying he supported measures that would further school choice, impose a patriotic education curriculum and allow parents to popularly choose and remove school principals through elections.
 
“If any principal is not getting the job done, the parents should be able to vote to fire them and select someone who will,” he said.
 
He also vowed to outlaw childhood transgender practices, including hormone therapy and anatomy-changing surgeries like mastectomies.
 
“I will revoke every Biden policy promoting the chemical castration and sexual mutilation of our youth, and ask Congress to send me a bill prohibiting child sexual mutilation in all 50 states,” Trump said.
 
Staying on the education agenda, he also promised to keep biological males out of female locker rooms and bathrooms and to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
 
The tax incentive for parents who have babies also was new to his agenda.
 
Punishing China
 
The former president unequivocally vowed to force China to pay reparations for the spread of COVID, just a few short days after public confirmation that both the FBI and Energy Department had concluded the virus emanated from a lab leak in Wuhan.
 
He also pledged to China-proof the American supply chain and reverse Beijing’s permanent trade privileges, returning to a pre-21st century position of forcing China to earn them each year.

These are bold goals, but goals this nation desperately needs to attain. It might not be Trump who aspires to accomplish them, but they should be accomplished and, at this time, Trump is the only one that can.

You can sense the determination to, finally, deal with those who are dedicated to making the US weaker and poorer. He sounds like he’s learned a valuable lesson, that he cannot trust leftists to put ideology aside and do their jobs, do what’s best for the nation. Their ideology comes first so, therefore, they cannot be trusted in government.

He can promise the world but he still needs congress and the multitude of critters to enact it.

He’s going to shake his base down for millions, while guaranteeing the GOP’s split and a Democratic win in 2024.

62% for Trump at CPAC there is no split. Second place DeSantis who has not even declared and might not, in spite of the bruhaha. The others got less than 10%. The Base is Trump and Rona better find out real quick that raising funds off Trump isnt going to work this time. All funds will be donated to the candidates themselves she is bad seed from a RINO.

62% of an organization that couldn’t fill half of its convention hall seats? That couldn’t induce other 2024 republican hopefuls to show up?

Why are you surprised? Most people can’t afford airline tickets and hotel rooms under the Biden economy.

But it’s not like the DNC who chooses the candidate on their own.

They must be on a certain flight list or have suspicious money transfers.

Republicans like Paul Ryan didnt show up, these are the flushables. Those in the Lincoln project send them on a swirlie ride. McConnell he isnt cpac he is CCP press the handle. Nikki Haley was there, to bad she is ashamed of her real name, a stage name all show and no stay.

If the Democrats are allowed to utilize election fraud on the same scale as they have in 2020 and 2022, they will win anyway. But, like in 2020, in a legitimate election, Democrats will be swept from the field.
