Liberal Activists’ Prank Had Some at CPAC Waving Russian ‘Trump’ Flags
Mr Trump joked: A source said “Donald Trump is a frightful, terrible human being”.
And being part of a movement means you’re not just witnessing a campaign externally, which is why I think a lot of activists felt over the years, a different – a different period of time which is that they’re just witnessing history rather than being a part of it.
But it’s fantasy to believe that journalists arrive in the newsroom in the morning, get their coffee and meet in a dark room where they pull the shades and map out a strategy to make up sources and fabricate news to hurt this or any president.
Trump kicked off the speech by bashing the media for about 12 mintutes, doubling down on his recent assertion that certain mainstream news organizations were “the enemy of the American people”.
He pointed to a Washington Post story this month that cited nine current and former intelligence sources who said Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn discussed U.S. economic sanctions on Russian Federation with that country’s ambassador before Trump took office.
He also took exception to the media’s use of “anonymous” sources. “The other side is not sitting idle … we’ve go to mobilize”.
But he soon turned to the accomplishments of his administration during his first month in office and worked to show that he is remaking American conservatism in his image.
An attendee from San Francisco told The Hill he wanted to hold onto the Trump flag as a souvenir, but said no had a sense of humor anymore.
Shortly before praising evangelicals, Trump said, “We all are equal – totally equal – in the eyes of Almighty God”.
Democrats have invited immigrants and foreigners to President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress in an effort to put a face on those who could be hurt by the Republican’s policies. That was the case Friday morning when Trump officials briefed reporters on chief of staff Reince Priebus’ contact with top Federal Bureau of Investigation officials concerning the Russian Federation reports. The speech can also be clearly seen as the bigger picture to the White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon’s preview when he addressed the CPAC before Trump.
Trump’s appearance at CPAC Friday was his fifth, but his first as president of the United States.
“If you look at the wide degree of opinions in this room – whether you’re a populist, whether you’re a limited-government conservative, whether you’re libertarian, whether you’re an economic nationalist – we have wide and sometimes divergent opinions”. “We’re going to massively lower taxes on the middle class, reduce taxes on American business and make our tax code more simple and much more fair for everyone, including the people and the business”.
Trump supporters were excited to see the president. I saw one story recently where they said nine people have confirmed.
The crowd attending President Trump’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday delivered a familiar chant: “Lock her up!” “I nearly felt sick”, said Joan Dougherty, a tea party activist from Asbury Park, N.J.
