On Saturday in Maryland, failed one-term, twice-impeached ex-president Donald Trump will address the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) as part of his bid to be the 2024 Republican nominee for president.
According to Trump campaign insiders, the reason the disgraced former president is speaking to CPAC attendees is simple: Because the GOP still belongs to him:
“CPAC is the embodiment of the conservative movement as well as the Republican Party. … The conference has always represented the ‘springboard’ for the presidential primary season, and President Trump’s outsized influence at this year’s conference combined with recent polling success shows just how dominant his candidacy is as we approach 2024,” said Trump senior adviser Jason Miller.
Translation: It’s an opportunity for Donald to bask in the adoration of the brain dead MAGA faithful and make himself the center of attention.
But conservative political analyst S.E. Cupp says she thinks CPAC needs to change its name.
According to Cupp, a more accurate name for CPAC would be “The Donald Trump Family Variety Hour.”
Cupp also noted that she expects CPAC will go off with “hardly a bang, more of a whimper.” Trump, she added, has turned the conference into a “joke” and is merely “a vehicle for Trump and Trumpism and is no longer … a stop on way to becoming president.”
The video of Cupp’s comments has garnered nearly 60,000 views in less than 24 hours and briefly trended on Twitter, where others joined the discussion and celebrated Cupp’s new name for the conference.
One thing is certain when it comes to the speech Trump gives this weekend at CPAC: It will be filled with bullshit, hot air, and endless lies.
