Trump Mocks Biden's Teleprompter Use in Combative CPAC Speech

Jump to Summary

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland, former President Donald Trump delivered a speech where he sharply criticized President Joe Biden's administration. Trump's remarks targeted Biden's handling of issues such as inflation, immigration, and foreign policy. He suggested that a second term for Biden could lead to an increase in migrant surges at the U.S.-Mexico border and further global instability, referencing ongoing conflicts such as the war in Ukraine.

Throughout his appearance, Trump employed a mocking tone when referring to President Biden, impersonating him and questioning his cognitive abilities. The former president defended his own tendency to go off-script, asserting that his long-winded stories were informative and his approach was "genius." Trump also took aim at the media, anticipating they would portray his tangents as signs of cognitive impairment.

The CPAC event, which celebrated its 50th annual gathering, was marked by a focus on migration issues, reflecting Trump's enduring influence on Republican Party rhetoric. The speech coincided with the South Carolina primary, where Trump was expected to secure a victory. Despite former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's continued participation in the race and criticism of the primary's predicted outcome, Trump's prominence at CPAC underscored his continued significance within the conservative movement.
