Former President Donald Trump likely will make his first post-White House appearance at the end of February.

He will be a keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2021 in Orlando, Florida, CPAC Communications Director Ian Walters confirmed to The Epoch Times.

The former president’s speech is scheduled for the afternoon of Feb. 28, the last day of the conference, Walters said.

It will likely be Trump’s first public appearance since he left the White House on Jan. 20.

American Conservative Union (ACU), the host of the conference, invited the former president to speak at CPAC.

“I’d love to see him come to CPAC,” CAU Chairman Matt Schlapp told the Washington Examiner. Schlapp said he extended the invitation personally.

“I think he deserves to be heard. I think even people who disagree with him will agree that he deserves to be heard. He should be uncanceled,” he added.

An official close to the planning process told The Epoch Times that the invitation was sent out last year.

Trump appears to be more active in the political arena after the conclusion of his second impeachment trial.

I’d like him to attack more on a positive nature. No need for personal stuff even when thrown at him.. I know he really needs my advice/s. but he can call out these guys for why they are not defending the middle class. Why are they now promoting america first. Like Rush did. He needs the spirit of Rush. When he does that (and he has a lot), it resonates. Just keep it positive.

Keynote speech seems too mundane a description for how awesome this will be. I hope it lasts at least an hour.

The CPAC convention will be packed to the rafters at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on International Drive, next Sunday, in Orlando. Trump supporters should gather outside the hotel on International Drive and Orlando streets by the tens of thousands, if not millions to support and honor our greatest POTUS, Trump!!!
