Candidate Who Last Year Was Denounced Returns as President
President Donald Trump Friday morning will become the first sitting president since Ronald Reagan to deliver an address at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Convention, in his first year as president. CPAC is an annual convention that attracts conservatives and Republicans, and generally features far right wing politicians bashing liberals and Democrats in what they feel is a safe space occupied by their base.
For example, on Thursday Tea Party Republican Senator Ted Cruz told a CPAC audience Democrats are “bat crap crazy.”
President Trump, who skipped last year’s convention via a last-minute cancellation after attendees and speakers were caught denouncing him, will return at around 10:00 AM EST a conquering “hero,” having the support of the far right.
