Politicians, media personalities, and conservative activists came together outside Washington on Friday for the second day of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). The conference featured a range of political allies of President Donald Trump, who have been vocal in their support for his administration’s policies and actions.
The speakers at the CPAC event hailed the Trump administration’s first month in office, which has been marked by numerous executive orders proposing significant changes to government policies and positions on international issues. The attendees were energized by the progress made in such a short time and were eager to hear more about the future plans of the administration.
One of the highlights of the event was Mike Waltz, the president’s national security adviser, who spoke about the administration’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine. He announced that the U.S. will be investing in Ukraine’s mineral assets as part of a plan to recoup some funding for the country’s defense. This move shows the administration’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and its efforts to defend itself against external threats.
Waltz also revealed that the Trump administration is planning to take strong action against drug cartels. In a bold move, the State Department designated several Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups, sending a clear message that the U.S. will not tolerate illegal activities that harm its citizens.
Another notable speaker at the event was Kari Lake, a journalist-turned-politician who has been a vocal supporter of President Trump. She spoke about the president’s achievements in his first month in office and her views on legacy media. Lake praised the administration’s efforts to search for corruption and cut spending, including ending foreign aid funding. She also expressed her disappointment with the mainstream media, which she believes is more focused on manipulating the public than informing them.
Lake, who was recently named by President Trump to lead Voice of America (VOA), spoke about her plans for the news agency. She emphasized the importance of producing accurate and honest reporting, stating that VOA has been telling America’s story to the world for 83 years. She also acknowledged that the coverage by VOA has not always been perfect, but she is determined to make it a powerful weapon in the information war.
Lake addressed concerns about VOA becoming “Trump TV” and assured the audience that it will not be the case. She also criticized the mainstream media for their biased reporting and referred to them as “TDS TV” (Trump Derangement Syndrome TV). She urged the audience to seek the truth and not fall prey to the manipulation of the mainstream media.
The CPAC event has been a platform for like-minded individuals to come together and discuss their shared values and beliefs. It has also been a place for the attendees to show their support for President Trump and his administration. The event has been a resounding success, with speakers and attendees alike expressing their enthusiasm and optimism for the future.
As the event comes to a close, all eyes are now on President Trump, who is expected to address the CPAC gathering on Saturday. His speech is highly anticipated, and it is expected to be a rallying call for his supporters and a message to his critics. The CPAC event has once again highlighted the strong support and unwavering dedication of the conservative movement to President Trump and his vision for America.
In conclusion, the CPAC event has been a celebration of the achievements of the Trump administration and a reaffirmation of the conservative values that unite the attendees. The speakers have inspired and motivated the audience with their speeches, and the event has been a reminder that together, we can make America great again.
