Donald Trump (CPAC)
President Donald Trump returned to the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he delivered a rambling speech filled with boasts about his popularity and attacks against the media.
Twitter users, naturally, were horrified.
Trump is speaking at CPAC and I watched a bit of it. It's like watching Hitler doing stand-up comedy.— Bjoern Means Bear | #BLM ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 (@Bjoern Means Bear | #BLM ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽) 1487950225.0

Trump: "Let's not even mention names, right?" The crowd calls for names. Trump: "The Clinton News Network is one!"— Olivia Messer 🌻 (@Olivia Messer 🌻) 1487950300.0
The forgotten men and women of America are finally getting the war on anonymous sourcing they always craved.— Jonah Goldberg (@Jonah Goldberg) 1487950313.0
I suppose this would also end anonymous donations to Super PACs and "non-profits." https://t.co/cj7ynnfcC7— LOLGOP (@LOLGOP) 1487950339.0
Trump is bananas 🍌 #Trump #USA #CPAC2017 #CPAC Only talks about himself, the media, crowds and standing ovations. Vague, meaningless speech.— Monica Mrs U (@Monica Mrs U) 1487950639.0
It is pretty amazing that Trump seems to have come to CPAC, temple of conservatism, without a prepared speech— James Astill (@James Astill) 1487950635.0
Btw as Trump is railing against the media here at CPAC, the press pen is flanked on all sides by the audience, which points & boos at us— Benny (@Benny) 1487950498.0
At this point the camera folks have just given up trying to find any diversity in Trump's audience at CPAC https://t.co/U79xEWwJGz— Plunderbund (@Plunderbund) 1487950347.0
There is the Trump lie that we don't win anymore. Did he watch the last Olympics? #CPAC2017— Richard W. (@Richard W.) 1487951006.0
The president claimed lines to get into his CPAC speech stretched 6 blocks. Per @kasie there are no lines, the event is not open to public— Dafna Linzer (@Dafna Linzer) 1487951607.0
Biggest difference btw Trump's 2015 CPAC speech and today -- besides the self-congratulatory jerking off -- is he's gotten less coherent— Anna Merlan (@Anna Merlan) 1487950891.0
Trump says we're "putting the regulation industry out of business" and "I want regulation" in the same thirty seconds.— Matt Taibbi (@Matt Taibbi) 1487951500.0
What does CPAC want? Much more applause for building the wall than slashing regulations in Trump speech. #CPAC2017— Sarah Posner (@Sarah Posner) 1487951468.0
Crowd at CPAC waving these little pro-Trump flags that look exactly like the Russian flag. Staffers quickly come ar… https://t.co/bbuOxaJj29— Peter Hamby (@Peter Hamby) 1487950446.0
