OMG: Audience CHEERS for Trump's IMPEACHMENT at CPAC

I, um, don't think that this was the answer that Trump wanted to hear at CPAC from the main stage.

How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?

No, that was the wrong answer. Let me try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?

No.

Can someone bring some coffee out for the C-PAC? Now I could chalk it up to an honest mistake the first time, but when the audience continues to cheer on the prospect of impeachment hearings for Trump even after they're corrected, maybe it's just becoming clear that Donald Trump isn't quite as popular as Matt Schlapp thinks. And let's be clear, C-PAC has not exactly churned out the kind of content that the GOP was hoping for this week.

For example.

I think they would get destroyed in the midterms. I get the vibe a lot of people I knew who just voted for Trump because they thought it was cool in like high school are just now just being like, I can't stand the guy.

This isn't what I voted for. It's almost like when Trump tells everybody that he's gonna focus on the little guy, gonna lower costs and keep gas cheap and avoid forever wars and release the Epstein files and actually do an America First agenda, and then you fail to do any of those things, that suddenly your political movement loses some of its shine. Although in fairness, I should mention that there are worse things than a conservative crowd cheering on the prospect of impeaching a conservative president, like for example,

being served at said conference during a live TV hit.

Most of them break a law within the first three months. Most of them—we're on TV here, please. We're on TV, please. We're on TV, please. We're on TV, please.

We're on TV, please. As they say, elect clowns, expect a circus. But it wasn't all fun and games. There was also some serious policy discussion taking place at CPAC, too.

What's keeping our country healthy, which is one of the best investments we can make as a nation, because it adds, if you can just get folks so darn healthy, they want to keep going at what they're already doing in life, it's worth about a trillion dollars to our

economy. already doing in life worth about a trillion dollars story economy so in addition to using taxpayer dollars for war it turns out that the next bright idea on the right is to force americans to work even later in life so they can generate more tax dollars which can then fund the war effort even further see isn't that great news when they told us america first what they really meant was that we could all be cogs in the military industrial complex machine, just working until we die so that Jared Kushner and Don Jr. and the rest of the Trump family can keep raking in their military contractor profits while

the rest of this country gets poorer and poorer because populism or something. Granted, not everybody is having a bad time. If you dive way, way down into the rabbit hole, some people still think Trump is the second coming of Christ.

He is the president of peace. So this is to bring peace in the area. When this, when this gets taken care of, it's going to be peace. And it's what I believe. I'm on true social. That's the only social media I do, and I believe that he's going to have, you know, bring peace and it's

gonna be very short, and he's got a plan. He's a genius, and we trust President

Trump. All of us trust President Trump. I wonder if there's any connection between only getting your news from Tru Social and uttering the phrase, Trump is a genius. Truly one of life's great mysteries. The reality is that if it feels like CPAC isn't hitting the same way this year, that's because it's not. It's because the right has realized the bill of goods that they've been sold. They realized that while Trump ran as a populist, as this working class champion, that he's

just a con man. I mean, I'm sorry, but how many times does he have to go back on his word before you realize that his pandering was nothing more than window dressing? And this is nothing new. In his first term, he proposed an infrastructure law that never materialized, a health care plan that was cheaper but more comprehensive that never materialized, a middle class tax cut that never materialized, a jobs boom that never materialized, a manufacturing renaissance

that never materialized. And then in this term, he did the same thing, promising reduced costs and cheaper groceries, lower rent, cheaper housing, free IVF, getting inflation under control, justice when it comes to Epstein's victims, and accountability for his criminal associates, but he's not delivering on any of those things. The only thing he's actually done in both terms is give a tax cut to himself and his

pals. That's it. He's building himself a ballroom, doubling his own net worth, setting his own family up with military defense gigs. I don't know how to make this any clearer. He does not give a shit about you. He never did. He just says things that people want to hear, but he never delivers. His entire presidency is a graveyard of broken promises. He didn't end the Russia-Ukraine war, didn't lower prices, didn't bring down inflation,

didn't release the Epstein files, didn't usher in a manufacturing renaissance, and guess what? He won't, because those are just things he says to get your votes, and now that he's got them, he doesn't need you anymore. Now it's about him. Now it's about his legacy, about his tax cut, about his headlines, about everything having

to do with Trump. He is broadcasting every which way that his priority is not regular Americans, it is himself. He will not lift a finger to help you. He'll make all the excuses in the world, but when it comes to continuing the same failed policies that he railed against, apparently there's a blank check and you're the ones paying for it. So it should be no surprise that as president, he is not looking to hold rich, connected,

powerful people to account. Those are his friends. They're his pals. They funded his campaign. They're in his tax bracket. You think he's going to give those people up so that he can pander to the suckers who

believed his populist shtick? Trump said what he had to say to who he had to say it to in order to get elected. But that does not make him a populist, it makes him a conman, something that should have already been abundantly clear after decades of stiffing working class Americans while consolidating more wealth for himself, abundantly clear after his first term where he did the exact same thing he's doing right now. And look, this is not about political party. Yes, I'm a Democrat. No, this isn't about being a Democrat. I'm asking any Trump voters out there to just open your

eyes. You do not owe Trump anything. He owes you. He works for you. And if he has so much contempt for you that he would lie to your face constantly for years over multiple terms, then remember that he and his party are not entitled to your support. Your vote is not their birthright. So as midterms approach, do what Republicans won't and show some respect for yourself.

Before you go, I'm very excited to announce that I've written a new book titled The Day After, How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World. The book explores what is, in my opinion, the single most important theme that we're dealing with in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans abuse it and how Democrats refuse to wield it. This book explains how we got here and more importantly, how we should finally wield power

This book explains how we got here and more importantly, how we should finally wield power if we're lucky enough to get it works.
