The speech marked Trump’s third consecutive appearance as president at the gathering of conservative leaders.
Before Trump spoke, the television screens in the room played a contentious interview between American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, the organizer of the conference, and CNN anchor Chris Cuomo. At one point, Cuomo said the president “lies all the time.” Schlapp shot back, “Not true.”
At one point, as the CPAC crowd looked on, CNN flashed a chyron that said, “Conservatives fail to call out Trump’s repeated lies.” Schlapp later introduced the president, making a point to stress the crowd size at the event, a metric that the president obsesses over. “We’re so full that even our overflow rooms have overflow rooms,” Schlapp said.
“Even in the midst of nuclear diplomacy, Mr. President, we are happy that when you walked away, you walked here to be with us,” Schlapp added later.
