- Former President Donald Trump told his supporters at the 2023 CPAC event Saturday that he will “never retreat” and vowed to plow “fearlessly ahead” because if the Democrats win in 2024, “we no longer have a country.”
- Trump declared that the “era of woke and weaponized government is over” and said he would “demolish” the federal government’s deep state that undermined his winning 2016 presidential campaign and his administration.
- “We’re going to finish what we started,” Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference audience after his president straw poll win. “In 2016, I declared I am your voice. Today I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. I am your retribution.”
