Trump to CPAC: ‘I’m Not Representing the Globe – I’m Representing Your Country’

I mean, who use its more than I do? “I’ll be doing this with CPAC whenever I can”.

It was a triumphal return to CPAC for Trump, who was warmly welcomed by a crowd that loves pushback against the mainstream media. He opened his speech by making a joke about the media and the standing ovation he received as he came to the podium.

“We don’t win anymore”. “They all underestimated the power of the people”.

As the speech went on, Trump professed his affinity for the First Amendment (“who uses it more than I do?“) and said “they” always invoke its legal protections.

Referring to a tweet he posted a week ago, in which said the “fake news media“.

President Donald Trump on Friday invoked the First Amendment as he decried much of the press as “fake news” and the “enemy of the people,” part of a blistering critique that was rowdily embraced by a conservative crowd. “You shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless you use somebody’s name”.

“They’re very smart, very cunning and very dishonest”, Trump said of the press. The fake news is the enemy of the people. “I’m not against bad stories if I deserve them”.

Trump noted how he “inherited a mess” from former President Barack Obama, including a soaring national debt and Obamacare.

He also said the media should stop using the word “sources” and use the name of the actual people so that the story can be verified and we know there are actual people in the story. Several of them held up Russian flags with the name “Trump” printed on them.

The new president got a raucous reception from the crowd, which at one point started chanting “Lock her up” after Trump derided Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent in last year’s election, for describing some of Trump’s supporters as “deplorables”.

Then he got to his policy agenda. “Basically what I’ve done is keep my promise”.

Earlier on Friday, Trump claimed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to quell leaks of classified information that could harm USA security.

“Nobody’s going to mess with us, folks, nobody”, he added. We wanted very, very strong military. “This is the time to prove again that our answers are the right answers for America”, Pence said at the event.

Earlier in the day, Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus, and Stephen K. Bannon, the White House chief strategist, made a joint appearance.

US President Donald Trump promised to destroy Daesh as he spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland on Friday.
