Donald Trump was the acclaimed star at this year’s Conservative Conference CPAC in the US state of Maryland. The ex-president, who was already campaigning, attacked his successor Joe Biden on Saturday (local time) in front of many audiences, but also parts of his own party, and presented himself as the best candidate for the 2024 presidential election. he made a promise, should he be elected, “I will prevent World War III.”
The 76-year-old said he was the only candidate who could save the US from the “belligerent” Democrats and the “fanatics and fools” in the Republican ranks. American citizens are engaged in an “epic battle to save our country from people who hate it and want to destroy it completely.” Voters are tired of “political dynasties” among Democrats and Republicans, “China-loving politicians” and supporters of “endless foreign wars.”
“If something doesn’t happen soon, we’re going to have World War III,” Trump warned in part of his 105-minute speech criticizing U.S. aid to Ukraine. “I am the only candidate who can make this promise: I will prevent a Third World War.”
Trump 1st on internal ballot
In a poll of CPAC participants who they would vote for in the 2024 Republican primary for president, Trump came in first by a wide margin. The 76-year-old received 62 percent of the vote, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis came in second with 20 percent. Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, who announced her candidacy for president in mid-February and spoke at CPAC on Friday, only got three percent. When her name was called, cheers erupted from the audience. The survey is considered a kind of heart rate monitor for grassroots mood, but it is not representative.
Bolsonaro, who fled to the US, was also one of the speakers
The Conservative Political Action Conference is a regular gathering of right-wing conservatives, which also brings together numerous supporters of former US President Donald Trump and conspiracy theorists. Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro also attended this year’s meeting at a conference center just outside Washington DC. The right-wing politician repeatedly received thunderous applause during his speech on Saturday, even when he raged against mandatory corona vaccination. Bolsonaro described his relationship with Trump as “simply extraordinary”. And like Trump, Bolsonaro said his “mission” was not over.
