Former president Donald Trump will claim he is the leader of the Republican party and its "presumptive 2024 nominee" when he makes his first public appearance since leaving office during the Conservative Political Action Conference next weekend in Orlando, according to a report.
A longtime Trump adviser told Axios his CPAC speech will be a "show of force," and said the message will be: "I may not have Twitter or the Oval Office, but I'm still in charge." The source reportedly added that "payback is his chief obsession."
According to Axios, Trump is expected to go after the 10 House Republicans who voted to convict him in his impeachment trial, spurred by the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, and the seven GOP Senators who voted with Democrats to convict.
Trump was acquitted, with 57 senators voting for his conviction -- short of the required two-thirds majority -- and 43 voting against conviction.
He also reportedly plans to argue in the CPAC speech that many of his predictions about President Biden have already come true.
"Trump effectively is the Republican Party," Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News. "The only chasm is between Beltway insiders and grassroots Republicans around the country. When you attack President Trump, you're attacking the Republican grassroots."
Trump has found support from state Republican officials who censured some members of Congress who voted against him. Meanwhile, his leadership PAC, Save America, has $75 million on hand to help set up primary challenges to sitting Republicans who went against him, as well as a database of tens of millions of names.

My vote is his if he wants it. He’d be they first president to win 3 presidential elections but only serve 2 terms. He should select DeSantis as his running-mate early and the primary will just be a formality.
Was it 95% of Republicans who backed him last November? Last poll I saw showed at around 65% as the putative favorite .
If Trump runs for re-election I don’t think it’ll be as a Republican.
Trump is president and he should state it.
He’s not really wrong.
This man fights and I’ve never seen anyone with an R by their name who delighted taking on the left and establishment Repukes more than Donald Trump. I like DeSantis and Noem, and would consider them in 2024, but if Trump runs again he’s got my vote!
Under the Constitution, vote rigged or not, Biden sworn in it not sworn in, his term came to a conclusion at noon on 20 January per the law. That’s just plain fact. He is former president Trump.
If he is President, then we have quite the National security crisis with a private citizen in possession of the nuclear football carried by a senior military aide.
Works for me.
“If he is President, then we have quite the National security crisis with a private citizen in possession of the nuclear football carried by a senior military aide”
Yes.
It is a full blown constitutional crisis.
Biden cannot be president because he did not win and used election fraud.
A ceremony cannot change the fact that he is illegitimate.
The congress that went along with the fraud also is illegitimate as is whomever swore him in.
Those occupying the buildings of the government are not legitimate, we do not have a government at this time.
Why do you think they are so gung ho in censoring anything relating to election analysis?
Yes
Actually Trump hasn’t said anything yet.
As he should I still say he should run for congress the Trump wave in these conservative districts would be overwhelming to see him become speaker of the house
He doesn’t need to run; he needs to get back and serve his second term, to which he has already been elected.
If what you say were so, history would record a President Samuel Tilden. It does not.

Jobama the Pretender
But....but zfox news said he said~~
Color me skeptical.
“Trump is president and he should state it.”
Then he’ll sound like a loser from 2016 called Hitlery complete with fake presidential seal.
