‘My ultimate and absolute revenge’: Trump gives chilling CPAC speech on presidential agenda

Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds – was followed by the tinny sound of Justice for All, a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

Their alleged roles?!?! YOU FUCKS goddammit Guardian what the motherfucking hell are you doing? They were convicted by a court of law there's no alleged about it!! FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

well that and they where on video that they took of the event! in case anyone wants to go with the oh the court is rigged or something. definately no alleged about it.
Who exactly does this schlocky shit appeal to? This is obvious theatre; it's scary how manipulable his base is.

He added: “We have languages coming into our country … they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a horrible thing.”

He comes up with the weirdest shit.

What languages nobody has ever heard of? Spanish? Mandarin? German?
- What languages nobody has ever heard
  SIGN LANGUAGE!!
  ...I'll see myself out.
- Well in Trump's case, English.
- If you knew, it wouldn't be unheard of.
- It's from the underground country of Hipsterkistan. You've probably never heard of it.
- Ruby?
We have ____ coming into our country … they have _____ that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a horrible thing.”
It's ad libs at this point.
- Always has been.
Does he mean like when English came into this country and nobody had ever heard of it?
I’ve heard of talking backwards in code to the beat of a babies heart. And then sucking the last drop of adrenochrome from the teet, sinking teeth to eat, ketchup, the walls! The walllls

Among the great tragedies of our time is the fact that this slimy rapist dirtbag conman isn't already yesterday's news. Fade the fuck away, Donald.

The American right are beyond pathetic that this whining fat orange bitch is the best they've been able to come up with for 3 consecutive election cycles. At best he's a distraction from the shit our country needs to do and at worst he's a danger to the entire world, us included. Demented dotard belongs in jail and nowhere near the levers of power.

He's not a danger himself. He's not in the shape for anything but hospice.
This is elder abuse and I feel terrified at the thought of anybody being in his skin.
- Pretty sure Trump doesnt deserve that level of empathy

There's the quiet part that gets said out loud.
then there's the part that they think, loudly.
Then there's the parts that are so awful, they even think them quietly.  
 
 
I'm convinced CPAC is the last part, there.

Removed, and 24 ban. Advocating violence.

I'm genuinely creeped out that someone saying these things can have so much support. Honestly I just want to go home and hide under the bed. A year ago when people said things about Trump like "authoritarian" and "fascist" and whatever else it was kinda true but also some hyperbole. Now it's just plain true.

It was never hyperbole. Remember when he tried to overthrow democracy? Sorry, but you're just coming to acceptance. This isn't new. Ask historians.
- Exactly. Anyone saying Trump criticism was just hyped up bullshit is a straight moron, or completely in denial. Sure, he's just saying it plainly now, but it was really fucking obvious previously.
You should see how they talk when they think they're in their echo chambers. Hell, they just do it in the open now.
You should hit the streets and let everyone you know that Project 2025 doesn't have to be real.

Those quotes sound way too coherent to be coming from Trump....

How does he manage to say the most Fascist shit so clearly but then everything else is just mumbled incoherent garbage?

It's written by Steven Miller, Bannon, and the like
But yea, he's good at saying the fascist shit. Rolls right off his grotesque tongue and out his putrid KFC-hole
Because someone else wrote it.
Trump is a moron and can barely string a sentence together when he is winging it. When he has a prompt and someone he owes money to tells him what to say, he is as eloquent as he can be.
I feel like the only one who sees through the bullshit. I feel like I'm the only one who has realized that trump isn't a smart person nor good at speaking unless he has a script to follow that he can't diverge from because as soon as he does the crazy cat lady is on display.
- He says to a community to agrees with him and is posting the articles that say that
- I feel like the only one who sees through the bullshit. I feel like I'm the only one who has realized that trump isn't a smart person nor good at speaking unless he has a script to follow that he can't diverge from because as soon as he does the crazy cat lady is on display.
  Yes, yes...you very special and unique little unicorn.
  You're the only one.
The article explains that he used a teleprompter for this speech and broke away from it a few times to ramble incoherently.

How does Merrick Garland sleep at night?

With a full bank account.
- Indeed
In a crypt most likely
In a hammock that perpetually leans to the right
Like a Republican.

Damn, these people have nothing in their lives but hatred.

This man says so many things daily that shows he is unfit, and the best defense we have against him is Biden. It is going to be a rough ride.

How are there not at least a million other citizens in the United States who would be better presidential candidates, not just these two old yokels.
Biden beat him the first time. Was that not good enough?
- Trump still had a chance, and Biden is less popular than he was in 2020, I personally doubt Biden will win.
No, we have other better options, but liberals will refuse to vote for anyone who they haven't had led to them by the DNC establishment, and then act like everyone else is enabling fascism by suggesting actual leftist leadership.
- Why do you think that regular voters get to decide who the DNC candidate is during a Democratic incumbent administration?
  If you abstain from voting because you equate Biden to be as bad as Trump, Trump will be the next President. Don't be a fucking idiot.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but that title is misleading:

the unprecedented success of the United States of America will be my ultimate and absolute revenge.”

Sure, but that "success" are coming after his "day 1 dictator" comments-- just a few short dots to connect and come up with the original title here.
- Sure, but then quote the actual problematic comments, don't purposely mislead with the one thing he said that wasn't problematic. That just gives fuel to their persecution complex.
Dog whistles
These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump's words.

Meanwhile I just saw an article about donors being worried about Biden using note cards...

I'd be more worried about the genocide.
People ITT: Fine with supplying arms to a country engaged in genocide as long as it's the dems doing it.
- Yeah yeah yeah, you got us all figured out seeing as we're not slovenly throwing charged words around while using conspiracy to deflect in our edits.
  Maybe people are simply tired of hearing off-topic screeds? Nah, it's the children that are wrong.
- I'm not happy about that, either, but my choice is between someone who'll maintain the current level and someone who'll make that genocide even worse and try to start one HERE, too. Both options are bad, but one is measurably and obviously less bad.
- You say this as if Ol' Trumpie boy wouldn't also contribute to both the Palestinian genocide AND the Ukrainian one
- The fact that anyone thinks electing Trump will somehow improve the Gaza situation is absolutely baffling to me.

Just... wow.

Is his campaign manager Vince McMahon?

Could be, they do know each other. Even worked together.
Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.
His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.
No idea why this isn't brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?
- Because the kind of loser that liked WWE is the kind of person that is terminally online on the even nerdier version of Reddit.
Look into the term Kayfabe and how it relates to the rhetoric of Trump. There are several worthwhile analyses. Here is one such article:

If any of you are wondering I am selling pitch forks.

This is a song I like to call: "we all hate you, please die."

In the 1800s and earlier, this kind of talk would be met with bayonets.

Let's make it happen

Can somebody just put the full text of the speech here?

Linguaphobia! That's a new one

Is he gays

I saw it myself on televised cameras. There was nothing "alleged" about the disgusting and utterly degrading assault of America than happened on January 6th, conducted by the lowest forms of vermin on earth. I saw it myself - it did happen.

And furthermore, any human being who casts a vote for an excremental piece of criminal vermin like trump should be considered dangerously ill and NEEDS to be stripped of their American citizenship and their voting privileges. Society cannot afford to have sick cretins running around loose. Lock them up, or at least build gas chambers to get rid of them all for good so we can move on from this horror.

I'm frustrated too, but this is the rhetoric of the people you're railing against. Please take a moment and regroup.
This is very antidemocratic of you. It's treating the symptoms and not the root cause. While I agree that trump and his supporters are vile, we should not advocate for removal of citizenship or voting rights of anyone.
Trump exists because of a flawed system, not flawed individuals. We need to fix the system or will continue to get Trump after Trump

Sure sounds like Trump is a big threat. I may not know much but it seems like cutting off arms supply to Israel would be a bargain if it means this guy doesn't get elected again. I'm sure some moderate will come in and educate me on why they should get to have their cake and eat it too.

Stop equivocating. There's no tomorrow after this. Short sighted. I'm starting to despise people like you as we get closer to the election. And before you try to debate me, THIS POST IS A FORUM ABOUT THE THREAT OF A TRUMP VICTORY. No response of yours refutes the fact you're steering the conversation. You're working toward a Trump victory no matter what you claim your motivation for your comment.
- I'm not equivocating. I'm saying if the situation is this dire then surely cutting off arms supply to Israel is a fucking bargain isn't it?
  It's time to compromise with leftists and progressives. If you won't do it now when "there's no tomorrow after this" then you never will. Make a choice.
This would be the progressive dream. Not arming Israel and Trump losing is having my cake and eating it too. It'd be a dream come true.
- People need to start hounding moderates that it's their turn to compromise. They've dominated the party for so long they think they can just elect whoever they want in the primaries, refuse to compromise and blame somebody else.
- Surely you can set me straight with a lecture about compromise or something.

..need some oxygen in the old thinking-noodle no doubt.
