Former President Trump will give his first political speech since leaving office on Sunday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a four-day event beginning Thursday that appears set to showcase how the twice-impeached ex-president remains his party's leader.
The annual gabfest will put Trump, his allies and his movement front and center, while sidelining opponents of Trumpism within the GOP. The gathering will conclude with a Sunday straw poll that is almost certain to declare Trump the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
There is no speaking time allotted for any of the GOP leaders seen as opponents of Trump, such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.); Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah), the GOP's 2012 presidential nominee; Trump's former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley; or Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), the third-ranking Republican in the House.
"Many of these members [that were not invited] are simply more moderate on most issues, which is more indicative on why they were at odds with Trump and the conservative agenda he pushed," CPAC organizer Matt Schlapp told The Hill. "However, we don't censor speeches, nor do we ask for speaking notes. It will be a real live experiment on where the conservative movement is at this time, including a poll available to all attendees."

it tells you he has absolutely nothing enjoyable in his life. why doesn't he take a nice trip with melania and barron? you'd think after 4 years of presidenting he'd want to get out of it and go have some fun. "fun" he doesn't know how to have fun.

(118,379 posts)I wouldn't say I'm a feminist. I mean, I want to help women. And they're gonna come through the cracks. And some, I assume, are good people. Mark my words. And, by the way, I know it doesn't sound nice. I'm not blaming anybody. Nobody's ever been more successful than me. When I walk down the street, those cabbies start yelling out their windows. Maybe because I'm so good looking. The answer is there has to be some form of punishment"
