Donald Trump Used His CPAC Speech to Blame “Fake News”
“I’m here fighting for you, and I will continue to fight for you”, Mr. Trump said in a fervent speech Friday, drawing several standing ovations from a crowd where many were wearing his “Make American Great Again” caps.
Trump said “they are the enemy of the people because they have no sources”, during an address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Wilson, a longtime Republican congressman from SC, shouted, “You lie!” as Obama addressed Congress in 2009 about his health care plan.
The Trump campaign and administration has been dogged by links to Russian Federation.
Here’s a good rule of thumb: You will never go wrong bashing the mainstream media to a conservative audience.
Trump did not respond to these chants, and he briefly put up his arms as if to tell the crowd to stop.
They are so powerful, even the president is on their team.
“There is one allegiance that unites us all, and that is to America”, Trump stressed with conviction.
Trump didn’t say what he would do about it. “‘They stole the term specifically to confuse us, ‘ Schneider stated”. “I’m only against the “fake” news media and press”.
After his newest jibes, Trump turned his CPAC speech into a recitation of his top agenda items, promising bold action on health care, trade, immigration, energy and more.
He promised changes to the welfare system, saying, “It’s time for all Americans to get off welfare and get back to work”, adding that: “You’re going to love it”.
“The greatest compliment you can get from Donald Trump is not “hey that’s brilliant” or ‘that’s smart or great.’ It’s ‘you’re really high energy, ‘” Conway said. “The core conviction of our movement is that we are a nation that puts – and will put – its own citizens first”.
He also assured his supporters of the swift progress that is being made for “the wall” to be built and reckoned it well may be ready before time.
In 2013, Trump decried a path to amnesty for undocumented immigrants because “every one of those 11 million people will be voting Democratic”.
Donald Trump thanked a boisterous crowd Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference for helping elect him president, one year after he was criticized for skipping the event. People I talk to say that’s OK, we’ll sort that stuff out. I know people always have problems with presidential decrees and stuff. “They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name. There are some awful dishonest people and they do a tremendous disservice to our country”. Peters made the trek from her home in the bastion of liberalism with a friend, who is Mexican-American, and also a big Trump supporter.
“The leaks are absolutely real, the news is fake, because so much of the news is fake”, Trump said during a combative press conference last week. It’s fake, phony, fake.
The objective of the change would be to encourage exporters and thereby create United States jobs, and to punish importers, to promote a policy that Mr Trump’s team is increasingly referring to as “economic nationalism”.
Markets softened a little towards the end of last week on the back of this, and ahead of Mr Trump’s speech, as the market rally since the election was largely predicated on expectations of substantial tax reforms and a powerful fiscal stimulus. Reagan’s 1981 speech was cheerful; it quoted conservative thinkers; toasted freedom at home and overseas; and made a point of not insulting political opponents.
The attendance of Trump, the first president since Ronald Reagan to visit CPAC in a first term, has indeed brought some energy to the 44-year-old event. She’ll attend Trump’s speech as a guest of Rep.
“America today is missing quality leadership, and foreign countries have quickly realized this”, he said six years ago.
