Trump at CPAC Texas: America should kill drug dealers like Communist China does
DRUG DEALERS = BLACK/LATINX AMERICANS
Posted on August 7, 2022
Donald Trump headlined CPAC Texas, delivering a series of broadsides to the Biden administration to a packed arena at Dallas’s Hilton Anatole. The more than 2,500 seats were filled — with even more guests lining the aisles.
Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was supposed to introduce the 45th president — but found herself bumped at the expense of Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, for reasons that remain unclear.
Prior to the former president’s speech, a short film played on the large TV monitors. “We are a nation in decline,” a Trump voiceover began. “We are a failing nation.” Gloomy black-and-white footage followed, accompanied by thunder and rain sounds. A screenshot of Trump’s suspended Twitter account was perhaps the most moving image.
Every cell phone in the room was in the air as the former president entered to “Proud to Be an American,” standing motionless at the podium for the entire duration of the song. “The proud patriots here today are the beating heart of the conservative movement,” he began.
Early on, Trump shouted out a number of MAGA members of Congress who were present — including Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Of his former doctor Ronny Jackson, now a Texas congressman, he said, “He loved looking at my body, it was so strong.”
Trump reminisced about assassinated Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, with whom he was friendly. “He’s on greener fairways now — he loved golf… we played golf…”
He then described his new Hispanic supporters as “hard-working” and “unbelievable.” “Viva Trump!” came the yells from the back of the room.
It wasn’t long before Trump turned his sights from his friends to his enemies. “Crazy Nancy Pelosi — what was she doing? Everything she touches turns to…”
“Shit,” cried the crowd.
He then focused on the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which was being voted on in the Senate concurrently with his address. “Joe Manchin has totally sold West Virginia out,” he said, before claiming of both Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, “if this deal passes, they will both lose their next election.”
He railed against “old broken crow” Mitch McConnell for trusting Manchin, before offering musings on Joe Biden, inflation, the border, his Remain-in-Mexico policy… and then reverting to more contentious themes.
“The election was rigged and stolen…,” he said to applause.
“I ran twice, I won twice, and I did much better the second time than I did the first, getting millions and millions of more votes than I did in 2016, more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country. And now we may have to do again, we may have to do it again.”
Staying on domestic issues, Trump said, “Our country is now a cesspool of crime.”
“The streets of our Democrat-run cities are drenched with the blood of innocent victims.”
For possible solutions to America’s rising crime, the former president turned to an unlikely source: Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party.
“You could go all over Hollywood, you couldn’t find an actor to play President Xi,” he said, before speaking with admiration about Xi’s approach to drugs — instituting the death penalty for drug dealers after a “quick trial!” (He did the voice.)
Trump also covered homelessness, the intersection of violent crime and immigration, critical race theory and education. He then moved on to a new theme that’s emerged in recent rally speeches: “Keep men out of women’s sports.” Trump summoned University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who competed against Penn’s Lia Thomas, up on stage. “This is our real champion,” he said. After being offered the mic, Gaines kept it brief, advocating to “keep female sports female.” Trump drew her into an embrace and said, “Just to show you how ridiculous it is, look at me, I’m much bigger and much stronger than her. There’s no way she could beat me in swimming, do we all agree?”
He described the events of January 6, “a protest over a rigged and stolen election that no one wants to look at” — and then launched into a physical comedy routine based on Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony of him attempting to seize the wheel of the Beast and throwing food at the wall of the Oval Office.
Despite the hopes of many in the room, Trump didn’t announce a 2024 run, keeping allusions to the coming presidential election vague by saying the GOP should “continue onwards with the unstoppable momentum” generated from a win this November and pledging that “we will soon have that greatness again.”
After close to two hours, the former president left the stage and the masses filtered out of the room. His most diehard supporters, and the media, will have to keep waiting for Trump to fully reenter the fray.

Key Moments of Donald Trump's CPAC Speech as Critic Brands It 'Frightening'
BY KHALEDA RAHMAN ON 8/7/22
NEWSWEEK
Former President Donald Trump spoke for almost two hours as he closed out the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.
In his remarks, he described a country that has been destroyed since he left office and outlined the steps Republicans should take if they win back control of Congress in November.
He decried the inclusion of transgender athletes on women's sports teams, and reiterated calls for drug dealers to get the death penalty and homeless people to be moved to tent cities.
Trump's speech was "unapologetic fascism," Michael Hardy, a senior editor at Texas Monthly, said in a tweet.
"This might be most frightening speech I've ever heard," Hardy wrote, adding that it indicated that the former president's rhetoric is "significantly more extreme than even a few years ago."
However, not everyone agreed. Mark Pukita, a Republican who ran for Senate in Ohio this year, said Trump was naming a "list of what Americans want."
Here, Newsweek has rounded up some key moments from the former president's speech.

'Drenched in blood of innocent victims'
"The streets of our Democrat-run cities are drenched with the blood of innocent victims," Trump claimed.
"Gun battles rage between bloodthirsty street gangs. Bullets tear into crowds at random, killing wonderful beautiful little children that never even had a chance. Carjackers lay in wait like predators hunting their prey."
Hardy described those comments as "some literal blood-and-soil rhetoric."
'Hold the Biden administration accountable'
The November midterms need to be "a national referendum on the horrendous catastrophes radical Democrats have inflicted in our country," Trump said.
The Republican Party "needs to campaign on a clear pledge that if they are given power, they're going to fight with everything that they had to shut down the border, stop the crime wave, beat inflation and hold the Biden administration accountable."
He said job number one for the next Congress and president is "restore public safety."
'Felt very strong'
Trump mocked former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony alleging he grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
"How about that phony story?" Trump said.
He went on to suggest that he was flattered at the idea that he could take on "big, strong" Secret Service agents, referring to Hutchinson's testimony that Trump lunged at Secret Service special agent Bobby Engel.
"I wasn't sure if I should be honored 'cause I felt very strong," he said.
'We will keep men out of women's sports'
"We will keep men out of women's sports," Trump said, before bringing Riley Gaines, a University of Kentucky swimmer who has been critical of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, on stage.
"Just to show you how ridiculous it is, look at me. I'm much bigger and much stronger than her. There's no way she could beat me in swimming. Do we all agree?"
Trump also said: "No teacher should ever be allowed to teach transgender to our children without parental consent."
'He loved looking at my body'
Trump also boasted about how former White House doctor Ronny Jackson "loved" looking at his body.
"He was a great doctor," Trump said. "He was an admiral, a doctor and now he's a congressman. I said, which is the best if you had your choice?
"He loved looking at my body. It was so strong, powerful. But he said I'm the healthiest president that's ever lived. I was the healthiest. I said, I like this guy."
'The woman brings chaos'
Trump took a moment to swipe at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, criticizing her trip to Taiwan.
He said: "Crazy Nancy Pelosi... What was she doing in Taiwan? Everything she touches turns to—I do not want to say it cause I don't want them to say I used foul language."
He went on: "I got impeached twice. She failed twice. The woman brings chaos. And that's exactly what's happening. What's happened in China, Taiwan, what's going on - she played right into their hands because now they have an excuse to do whatever they're doing."
Relocate homeless people in 'tent cities'
Trump also reiterated his calls for homeless people to be moved to "tent cities" on the outskirts of major U.S. cities.
"It's also time to take back out streets and public spaces from the homeless and the drug addicted and the dangerously deranged," he said.
"The only way you'd going to remove the homeless encampments and reclaim our downtowns is to open up large parcels, large tracts of relatively inexpensive land on the outer skirts of the various cities and bring in medical professionals, psychiatrists, psychologists and drug rehab specialists and create tent cities... We have to relocate the homeless until they can get their lives back."
Death penalty for drug dealers
Trump also repeated his calls to impose the death penalty on drug dealers.
"If you look at countries throughout the world, the only ones that don't have a drug problem are those that institute the death penalty for drug dealers," he said.
He said Chinese President Xi Jinping had told him that his country dos not have a drug problem because it executes drug dealers after "a quick trial."
While acknowledging that "it sounds horrible," Trump said such policies would effectively reduce drug trafficking in the U.S.
Bring back 'stop and frisk'
The "tried and true" strategy of stop-and-frisk must return, Trump said, referencing the highly controversial policing tactic.
"Instead of taking the guns from law-abiding Americans let's take them away from the violent felons and career criminals for a change," he said.

'America is on the edge of an abyss'
Trump began his speech by declaring the U.S. "is being destroyed more from the inside than out."
"America is on the edge of an abyss and our movement is the only force on earth that can save it," he said. "What we do in the next few months and the next few years will determine with American civilization will collapse or fail or whether it will triumph and thrive frankly like never before. This is no time for complacency."
He said that Republicans must "run aggressive, unrelenting and boldly populist" campaigns. A priority for the next president, he said, will be to "drain the swamp once and for all and remove rogue bureaucrats and root out the Deep State."
