Trump Is A Rockstar
“Success will be our revenge!”

President Donald J. Trump spoke to a packed house at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) just outside of Washington DC on Saturday, February 24th, 2024. Never one to campaign from his basement, he was splitting time today between his South Carolina rally and the Republican Presidential Primary there, to fit this in. As usual, he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.
Last friday afternoon I had convinced myself that I wasn’t going to cover the CPAC event, based on the travel being too expensive for me to attend. But a week before the event on Friday evening, I received an email approving my request for a press pass. I decided I had to grasp that opportunity and figure out how to get there. I was lucky to have a few folks donate some gas money and a friend who allowed me to stay at his amazing venue. Then it was all about getting in the truck and heading down the highway for the 11 hour drive from Maine to Washington DC.
As I neared my destination, I made a pit stop in Gettysburg, PA a place where I always wanted to pay my respects to the fallen, but never had a chance to stop in. It is a humbling experience to think about what those men went through. Many of them knew they would not survive the battle, but they pressed forward anyway. What I felt walking among the monuments and battlefield seemed like a parallel to what we are seeing all across our country today. North vs. South is now conservatives vs. liberals, or republicans vs. democrats.

Those Americans who don’t fully understand that we are in a civil war today within our country are woefully ignorant. The battle grounds are areas such as the K-12 public schools and how our country is going to be shaped in the future will be determined based on if we can save this generation of children from being slaves to the government. President Trump knows we are in a civil war and he wants to end it. He’s the only man who can. There is no other option, so stop kidding yourself.
Trump was on the agenda for 1pm today and the first “walkup song” we heard that got everyone out of their chairs and on their feet was Metallica’s Enter Sandman. The standing room only crowd at CPAC immediately had their cell phones raised high, expecting him to take the stage at any moment. (The Sandman in those lyrics is, of course, Crooked Joe Biden.) About a dozen more songs, a few “USA, USA, USA” chants later and after a full hour delay, he finally came out to raucous applause.
If you didn’t already know, Trump is a rockstar and rockstars rarely start on time.
The crowd was now back on their feet and whipped into a frenzy. Pathetic Joe Biden couldn’t garner this one event’s worth of support in months and months of his staged rallies. 81 million votes my ass! Trump on the other hand has been doing several of these a day for the last number of months. Although President Trump is older than most presidential candidates, there is no quit in this man. His energy level is off the charts. Frankly, I don’t understand how he does it.
Trump started out speaking to the fact that we need simple common sense to save our country. Common sense to recognize that what is being done to our United States is wrong on so many levels. It should be obvious at this point, our country is being destroyed by democrats. We are in big trouble here folks.
Trump stated that Joe Biden has abolished our borders and “Our communities now have unimaginable levels of bloodshed, violence and crime.” Joe Biden is to blame for every U.S. town becoming a border town, regardless of location. Fentanyl streaming across our open borders is now the number one cause of death in Maine millennials, taking over for car crashes in 2023. File that under Trump’s new term called “migrant crime.”
Trump tackled many subjects in his CPAC speech. Things like the “green new scam,” the “weaponized DOJ” and that he was “indicted for bullshit.” He mentioned the “fake news” several times today, which I was corralled with in the back of the room. Trump’s comments about CNN brought resounding boos and lots of laughter.
Trump also stated the obvious, that our public K-12 schools are pushing “Bad education where everything is woke.” He went on to say that his first action would be the sealing of the border. Nothing had a bigger pop than Trump’s statement of having the “Largest deportation in the history of our country,” lined up to start in January of 2025. Can we survive another eleven months of this, I wondered? But, as Trump added, “Success will be our revenge!”
His speech was about one third classic Trump campaign talk, but the other two thirds he weaved in and out of amusing stories and talked for an hour and a half straight. Never once taking a break and not following the teleprompter for most of his speech. We’ve all seen that Biden can’t handle a simple 3 minute speech with a loaded teleprompter. But, as Trump stated, we have the “Most incompetent person running our country.” As Trump reminded the crowd, Biden can’t find his way off stage most days and those pesky stairs are always looking to cause him havoc.
After his remarks and a long standing ovation, Trump left CPAC to head down to South Carolina for another resounding primary defeat of Nikki Haley. There are indeed big stakes in this election and the only person standing in the way of the far-left democrats completely wrecking America is Trump, who rightfully now calls himself a political dissident. This is indeed our last stand in 2024. There is only one choice in November to save our country and that choice is President Donald J. Trump. We all have to Make America Great Again!
Although I was told CPAC wasn’t as big as in years past, this was still a great opportunity to network and meet other conservative members of the media and society who want to save our once great country. There are people already putting up a fight, but we need to get more of you engaged to take action. I also got to hang out with some friends who are all fighters. Iron sharpens iron. It is all up to us because as Trump stated, “November 5th will be our new liberation day and their judgment day!”
He truly is a Rockstar!! I’m so happy you got this opportunity to go to this, what an awesome experience I’m sure! Thank you for being such an inspirational and strong voice for us fellow republicans and for our children. ❤️🇺🇸
Trump and the entire family are all inverted, they are tr@ns. Trump is an act-whore playing a role on the whirled stage. You are clearly still under deep mind CONtrol!
