ICARO Media Group
Former President Donald Trump delivered a 90-minute keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where he boasted about not resigning in the face of 91 felony charges brought against him within the last year. Trump faces charges in Georgia and Washington DC related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, in Florida for keeping classified documents, and in New York for falsifying business records regarding hush money payments during his first presidential campaign.
During his speech, Trump maintained his innocence, claiming that the only crime he has committed is defending America. He also spread misinformation, falsely stating that the 18-month period without US casualties in Afghanistan happened solely under his presidency, when in fact it crossed over to President Joe Biden's tenure. Trump also made baseless claims of voter fraud in California, alleging that ballots were being sent out fraudulently, despite there being no evidence to support his assertions.
The former president's speech was filled with grandeur and inaccuracies, reflecting his defiant attitude amidst facing multiple legal challenges. Trump's rhetoric continues to sow controversy and division, with his unsubstantiated claims contributing to further polarization in political discourse.
