Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, who has disappeared from public view for more than a month, made his first public appearance after avoiding the second impeachment. Last Sunday, he gave a pompous speech at the annual “Conservative Political Action Conference” (CPAC) and was warmly welcomed by the supporters present.
In addition to insisting that the Democratic Party “stole” the election results, he also emphasized that a variety of new crown vaccines can be released quickly, it is entirely his credit. (And he also benefited from his own credit. Before leaving the White House in January, he and his wife Melania had been vaccinated against the new crown.) Of course, he would not miss this opportunity to criticize the Biden administration for targeting immigrants after taking office. Issues and a series of actions taken to control the epidemic.
Regardless of his demeanor or manner of speech, Mr. Trump looks the same as before. Even the content of his speech also uses a lot of information that he has said before. This reminds those who have become popular by imitating him in the past four years. You don’t need to modify your skills, and don’t feel that the future is gloomy just because he has stepped down. Four years later, these imitators are likely to have a chance to regain attention and praise, because Trump himself announced in front of his supporters at this conference that he wants to fight for the Republican nomination for the presidential election in 2024. .
This is his interpretation of what he and his supporters said “the incredible journey that he and his supporters started four years ago is far from over.” And obviously, his idea, in addition to being welcomed by the supporters present, did not arouse the Republican Party’s disgust, although after the congressional riots on January 6, in the Republican Party, Trump is no longer regarded as a natural positive. Assets, even the wife of Senate Minority Leader McConnell, the Secretary of Transportation in the Trump administration, immediately announced his resignation, and many Republicans in the Senate refused to defend him when the impeachment case was being considered.
But now, the slight rift between the Republican Party and Trump has been repaired, and McConnell even stated that if Trump runs for the election again in 2024, he will gain his own support. Trump also announced that he would not form a new party to fight for the election as people predicted or rumored earlier.
Trump is very confident in his victory in 2024. He said he might defeat the Democratic Party “for the third time”, while the audience stood up and applauded.
In the past month or so, Trump has not communicated directly with the public, nor has he been able to use social media to speak out (this is because all his accounts are controlled or cancelled), but this did not make him forgotten. More welcome.
We might as well speculate that after losing control of the Senate and the White House at the same time, the Republican Party’s future development path cannot be unanimous. At this time, a figure like Trump is required to assume the responsibility of building consensus. However, there is no politician in the Republican Party who has been able to act alone to fill Trump’s vacancy.
An informal poll conducted by CPAC prior to Trump’s speech showed that former President Trump is the most popular potential Republican candidate in 2024, with a 55% approval rate among attendees. This is much higher than Florida Governor and Republican Ron DeSantis, who is ranked second in popularity, and his approval rate is only 21%.
Although Trump has expectations and confidence in 2024, the election is not a stand-alone game. It is impossible for his supporters to chant “you win” in the field and then declare the election on their own to be confirmed by the legislature. .
As far as Trump is concerned, in addition to declaring as his own credit for the policy that has begun to show results, he must also try to find loopholes and opportunities in the policies of the current government.
However, although the Biden administration has temporarily halted many of Trump’s offensive foreign policies, this does not mean that these policies will have a 180-degree turn. In fact, the more likely result is that bye. Deng continued many of Trump’s policies and only amended a small part of them to make them more operational. This can be seen in the series of foreign and trade officials appointed by Biden. And this will weaken the legitimacy of Trump’s attack on Biden.
However, for Trump and his general supporters, this is not embarrassing, because the label “patriotic” is enough. Although these patriots sang the American national anthem in countless different tunes at this conservative political action meeting. (Fortune Chinese Network)
