Some quick thoughts on Trump’s CPAC speech

John Fea   |  February 28, 2021

Here are some live tweets and commentary.

The loser of the 2020 presidential elections started the speech with this:

Trump: "There's never been a journey so successful" says the loser of the 2020 presidential election. #CPAC2021

We also learned that Trump has no intention of starting another political party. This makes perfect sense. Why start another party when your brand already controls one of the two major parties.

Trump says he is not starting a new party. #CPAC2021

The first half of Trump’s speech (roughly) was an attack on virtually everything Biden has done since taking office.

Trump: "In one short month we have gone from 'America First' to 'America Last.'" #CPAC2021

Trump mocked Biden’s COVID-19 restrictions:

Did I hear Trump say that Biden was "anti-science?" #cpac2021

I watched the speech on the You Tube feed of Right Side News, a pro-Trump online news outlet. When Trump took credit for the COVID-19 vaccines, the chat section of the video blew-up with comments from anti-vaxxers.

Trump talking about vaccines, but many of his followers at Right Side News are not happy about it. They are commenting "No Vaccine, No VAX!" #vaccines #CPAC2021 https://t.co/pDr8O5h4FH

Feel the love:

"The Republican Party is becoming the party of love."
–Donald Trump @CPAC

I think this was my biggest take-away from the speech:

Most of the attacks on "Big Tech" and "free speech" are directly related to election fraud claims. 2/2 #CPAC2021

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) February 28, 2021

62% of CPAC attendees believe “election integrity” is the most important political issue in America right now.

Finally, Trump made it clear that he is coming after anti-Trump Republicans:

Trump names all the members of the Senate and House who voted to impeach him. The vengeance tour begins. The conservative Christians in the audience cheer the vengeance. #CPAC2021

Now I am going to get ready to watch Stanley Tucci eat his way through Italy!
