OXON HILL, Maryland — Former President Donald Trump took on establishment Republicans, telling CPAC he is ready to"complete the mission" he started when he was elected to the White House in 2016.
"We are never going back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign endless wars, but demands we cut veteran benefits and retirement benefits at home," he said. “Our enemies are lunatics and maniacs, and they cannot stand that they do not own me, they cannot shake me, they cannot control me," he said."I alone will never retreat.”
During the speech, Trump promoted some of the policies that will be the focus of his second term in office, should he become the 2024 standard-bearer and clinch reelection. His platform includes building as many as 10 next-generation "freedom cities" and baby bonuses, though his loudest applause lines tended to relate to transgender individuals.
