Despite all the media blackmail
against President Donald Trump, it is becoming clearer that, he is gradually
becoming accepted by most of the people who fought against his presidential
election.
The latest is coming from a
formerly hostile audience of Conservatives as they cheered his plans in office
to the rafters. As they all gave him a rousing welcome for his political plan
for the country.
According to sources, Mr Trump
received rounds of praise as he outlined the proposals he matched to his shared
"values" with the right-wing and staunchly religious crowd at the
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
They included pledges for the
"greatest" build-up of the US military, the repeal of Barack Obama's
signature healthcare programme and the renegotiation of Democrat-negotiated
trade deals.
He also established the building
of the US-Mexico border wall will begin "real soon" and "way
ahead of schedule", while earning large cheers for plans to "keep
radical Islamic terrorists the hell out" of America.
The biggest of the ovation was
given to him for his backing for the constitution’s rights to gun ownership, telling
them almost in passing: "And by the way we will protect our second
amendment."
The support was in marked
contrast to his controversial last appearance on the same stage in 2015 when
the presidential hopeful was booed when he doubted then crowd favourite Texas
congressman Ron Paul's chances of winning office.
Trump was then heckled by one
member who shouted: "You have zero chance of getting elected."
Two years on, as a returning
president, Mr Trump enjoyed near universal support, though at least one
audience member was taken out of the auditorium in National Harbor, Maryland
after briefly shouting out insults.
Mr Trump began by showing his
gratitude to the CPAC crowd, saying "I love this place", before
thanking them for helping get him into power, telling them: "It's patriots
like you that did it."
After reiterating many of his key
campaign promises, he told the audience: "The future belongs to you. It's
going to be bigger and better and stronger than ever before."
The president also urged the
fully standing crowd to sit down and rise again to give him a standing ovation,
joking that in its absence "the media" would have played down their
support for him.
