Trump: ‘We Went From America First to America Last’
What do you think of Trump's CPAC remarks?
What's the story?
- In his first public appearance since leaving office on Jan. 20, former President Donald Trump on Sunday called for Republican Party unity in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida.
What did Trump say?
- The former president dismissed rumors that he was contemplating starting a new political party:
"We're not starting new parties. They kept saying, 'He's going to start a new party!' We have the Republican Party! It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. I am not starting a new party. That was fake news. It is far from being over ... We will be victorious and America will be stronger and greater than ever before."
- Over an hour into his speech, Trump repeated the lie that "This election was rigged" and criticized the Supreme Court:
"They didn't have the guts or the courage to make the right decision."
- "Already, the Biden administration is proving that they are anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women, anti-science. In just one short month, we have gone from America first to America last," Trump said, alluding to his self-described "America first" platform.
