周日晚上，在结束保守党政治行动会议的一个半小时的主旨演讲中，前总统唐纳德·特朗普他发表了一次演讲，充满了许多同样的虚假选举欺诈指控，自11月输给乔·拜登总统以来，他一直在重复这些指控。
他错误地声称选举被“操纵”，这是民主党人和许多其他人所说的导致他的支持者在不到两个月前对国会大厦进行致命攻击的话，这导致了他的第二次弹劾。
特朗普在1月份离任后的第一次演讲中，也希望重申他对共和党的控制，并描绘出一种团结的感觉——这一信息立即被混淆了，因为他也多次针对自己政党的成员，包括在某个时候列出每一个支持弹劾他的共和党人，因为他在煽动国会大厦袭击中的作用，而这位前总统没有提到。
特朗普在周日的演讲中还描绘了拜登政府时期美国可怕和恐惧的形象。

在2024年的演讲中，他还继续取笑竞选，拒绝组建第三方的想法，以典型的严厉甚至有时是恶毒的方式指责拜登的移民政策，攻击安东尼·福奇博士，最后告诉他的支持者，帮助共和党获胜的“唯一方法”是向他的超级政治行动委员会捐款。
特朗普推行虚假选举主张
在他的演讲中，特朗普挖掘了他的选举不满指责民主党人利用致命的新冠肺炎大流行来“欺骗”选举，并一再抨击最高法院没有干预和推翻选举结果。
“这次选举被操纵了，最高法院和其他法院不想对此采取任何措施，”特朗普说，这导致人群大声高呼，“你赢了，你赢了，”特朗普回应说，“我们赢了。”
“他们拒绝了，”特朗普继续攻击高等法院。“他们应该为自己对我们国家的所作所为感到羞耻。他们没有勇气做出正确的决定。”
如果共和党内的一些人希望这位前总统从2020年开始前进，特朗普很快明确表示，他计划在未来很长时间内继续煽动虚假的选举主张，推动他在1月6日致命的国会大厦袭击之前推动的许多同样被揭穿的主张。
特朗普继续戏弄2024年竞选
正如特朗普卸任以来所做的那样，他在2024年继续取笑竞选——但没有明确宣布竞选。
“事实上，正如你所知，他们刚刚失去了白宫，但这是其中之一。但是谁知道，谁知道呢?我甚至可能决定第三次打败他们，好吗?”特朗普对“美国”和“再四年”的欢呼和圣歌说

抨击拜登将“美国放在最后”
特朗普也出来了反对拜登这是前总统卸任一个多月以来前所未有的举动，也是总统政府在从新冠肺炎和学校关闭到能源和移民政策等话题上的一次行动。
“乔·拜登经历了现代史上最灾难性的第一个月。这是真的，”他说。“拜登政府已经证明，他们是反就业、反家庭、反边境、反能源、反女性和反科学的。在短短的一个月里，我们从“美国第一”变成了“美国最后”"
这位前总统呼吁拜登“让学校开门，现在就开门”，称关闭是“最高级别的丑闻，也是我们有生以来任何一位总统最懦弱的行为之一。”

然而，大多数学校在特朗普执政期间第一次关门时，已经关闭了近一年的面对面学习。此外，疾病控制和预防中心两周前发布了如何安全开放学校的指南。
他还抨击了安东尼·福奇博士，他现在是拜登在新冠肺炎的首席医疗顾问，特朗普在任期间与他关系不佳。
“第一，Fauci说你不需要口罩，没有口罩，不行。然后突然——现在他想要双面具，”特朗普说。
特朗普吹捧‘特朗普主义’
特朗普在谈到共和党的未来并与民主党人划清界限时表示，他的运动“基于对美国的热爱以及这是一个受到上帝保佑的特殊国家的信念。”
他还说，他经常听到“特朗普主义”这个词，并将其定义为“伟大的交易”和“强大的边界”。

“很多人问，什么是通快主义?一个新名词被越来越多地使用。我越来越多地听到这个词。不是我想出来的，”川普笑着说。"但这意味着伟大的交易，伟大的贸易交易."
“这意味着街上没有骚乱。意味着执法。这意味着对第二修正案以及持有和携带武器的权利的非常强有力的保护，”他在美国国会大厦遭到致命袭击七周后说。
特朗普拒绝组建新政党的想法，攻击支持弹劾的成员
特朗普表示，他对组建新政党“不感兴趣”，尽管一些新闻报道称，他正在考虑离开共和党。
他还坚持自己在党内的最高地位。
“我们有共和党，”特朗普在热烈的掌声中说。“它将团结起来，比以往任何时候都更加强大。我不是在开新派对。那是假消息。假消息，没有。那不是很好吗?让我们开始一个新的聚会，让我们分开我们的投票，这样你就永远不会赢。不，我们对此不感兴趣。"
在试图推动共和党“团结”的同时，这位前总统也继续了他的复仇之旅，列出了投票支持弹劾的共和党人的名字，以引起人群的嘘声。
“民主党没有像米特·罗姆尼、小本·萨斯、理查德·伯尔、比尔·卡西迪、苏珊·科林斯、莉萨·穆尔科斯基、帕特·图米那样的哗众取宠者。在众议院，汤姆·赖斯，南卡罗来纳州，亚当·金辛格，丹·纽豪斯，安东尼·冈萨雷斯——这是另一个美人——弗雷德·厄普顿，杰米·埃雷拉·比特勒，彼得·迈耶，约翰·卡特科，大卫·瓦拉多和战争贩子，一个喜欢看到我们的军队战斗的人:利兹·切尼。”
Trump's CPAC speech repeats false election fraud claims, teases 2024 presidential run
In a sprawling hour and a half keynote address closing out the Conservative Political Action Conference Sunday night,former President Donald Trumpdelivered a speech filled with many of the same false election fraud claims that he has repeated since losing to the election to President Joe Biden in November.
His false claims that the election was “rigged" is what Democrats and many others have said led to the deadly Capitol attack carried out by his supporters not even two months ago, which led to his second impeachment.
Trump, at his first speech since leaving office in January, also looked to reassert his grip on the Republican Party and portray of sense of unity—a message that was immediately muddied by the fact that he also repeatedly targeted members of his own party, including at one point listing every Republican who supported impeaching him for his role inciting the Capitol attack, which the former president did not address.
Trump also painted a dire and fearful portrait of America under the Biden administration during his speech Sunday.
He also continued to tease a run in 2024 throughout the speech, rejected the idea of starting a third party, railed over Biden’s immigration policy in typical harsh and at times vicious ways, attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci, and in the end, told his supporters the “only way” to help Republicans win is to donate to his Super PAC.
TRUMP PUSHING FALSE ELECTION CLAIMS
Throughout his speech, Trump dug into hiselection grievances, accusing Democrats of using the deadly COVID-19 pandemic to “cheat” the election, and repeatedly hammered the Supreme Court for not intervening and overturning the results.
“This election was rigged, and the Supreme Court and other courts didn’t want to do anything about it,” Trump said, which led the crowd to loudly chant, “You won, You won," to which Trump responded, “We did.”
“They rejected it,” Trump continued, attacking the High Court. “They should be ashamed of themselves for what they've done to our country. They didn't have the guts or the courage to make the right decision.”
If some in the Republican Party hoped the former president would move on from 2020, Trump quickly made clear he plans to continue to stoke the false election claims well into the future, pushing many of the same debunked claims he pushed in the lead up to the deadly Capitol attack on Jan. 6.
TRUMP CONTINUES TO TEASE 2024 RUN
As he’s done since leaving office, Trump continued to tease a run in 2024—without explicitly announcing a run.
“Actually, as you know, they just lost the White House, but that's one of those things. But who knows, who knows? I may even decide to beat them for a third time, okay?” Trump said to cheers and chants of “USA” and “four more years.”
“With your help, we will take back the House, we will win the Senate and then, a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House," Trump said at CPAC Sunday. "And I wonder who that will be. I wonder who that will be. Who, who, who will that be, I wonder?"
SLAMS BIDEN AS PUTTING ‘AMERICA LAST’
Trump also came outswinging against Biden-- a rather unprecedented move by a former president just over a month out of office -- and the president's administration on topics ranging from COVID-19 and school closures to energy and immigration policies.
“Joe Biden has had the most disastrous first month of any President in modern history. That's true,” he said. “Already, the Biden administration has proven that they are anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women and anti-science. In just one short month, we have gone from ‘America first’ to ‘America last.’”
The former president called on Biden to “get the schools open and get them open now,” calling closures "a scandal of the highest order and one of the most craven acts by any president in our lifetimes."
However, most schools have been closed for in-person learning for almost a year now, when they first shut doors under Trump. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released guidelines two weeks ago on how to open schools safely.
He also took a swipe at Dr. Anthony Fauci, now Biden’s chief medical adviser on COVID-19, whom Trump shared a rocky relationship with in office.
“First, Fauci said you don't need masks, no masks, no good. Then all of a sudden -- now he wants double masks,” Trump said.
TRUMP TOUTS ‘TRUMPISM'
Speaking to the future of the Republican Party and drawing differences from Democrats, Trump said his movement is “based on love for America and the belief that this is an exceptional nation blessed by God.”
He also said he’s hearing the term “Trumpism” a lot and defined it as “great deals” and “strong borders.”
“Many people ask, what is Trumpism? A new term being used more and more. I'm hearing that term more and more. I didn't come up with it,” Trump said with a smile. “But what it means is great deals, great trade deals.”
“It means no riots in the streets. It means law enforcement. It means very strong protection for the second amendment and the right to keep and bear arms,” he said, seven weeks after the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.
TRUMP REJECTS IDEA OF FORMING A NEW PARTY, ATTACKS IMPEACHMENT-SUPPORTING MEMBERS
Trump said he was “not interested” in starting new parties, despite, he said, some news reports saying he was considering leaving the GOP.
He also asserted his place at the top of the party.
“We have the Republican Party,” Trump said to roaring applause. “It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. I am not starting a new party. That was fake news. Fake news, no. Wouldn't that be brilliant? ‘Let's start a new party, let's divide our vote so that you can never win.’ No, we're not interested in that.”
While simultaneously trying to push that the Republican Party was “united,” the former president also continued his revenge tour, listing the names of the Republicans who voted for impeachment to boos from the crowd.
"The Democrats don't have grandstanders like Mitt Romney, little Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey. And in the House, Tom Rice, South Carolina, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Newhouse, Anthony Gonzalez -- that's another beauty -- Fred Upton, Jamie Herrera Beutler, Peter Meyer, John Katko, David Valadao and the warmonger, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting: Liz Cheney."
