Former President Donald Trump told friends he would not appear at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida if Mike Pence, his always-loyal vice president, was also on the bill, according to people familiar with his conversations.
Details have emerged as Trump prepares to make his return to the limelight over the weekend with a speech expected to lay out his vision for the future of the Republican Party and include a forceful critique of President Biden's immigration policies. The strategy is to keep the 45th commander in chief ahead of others mulling a run for the party's presidential nomination.

Or Christian behavior?
They seem to savor the taste of Rump's butthole and anything that comes out of it. Disgusting hypocrites.

Pence refused to do that favor and hand the government over to trDump's militia junta of violent goons so trDump harbors a visceral hatred for Pence.
This reality alone connects trDump directly to the 1/6/2021 coup de' tat more than anything else. trDump wanted Pence dead, trDump wanted the US Capitol trashed because he could not finagle a second term in the White House.
trDump's actions with Pence at CPAC erases all ambiguity, question, or doubt
if trDump was calling the shots on 1/6/2021. trDump was the ringleader his fascist white supremacist goons were trDump's foot soldiers enlisted to carry out trDump's preconceived plans, "If trDump can't have the presidency,... he would trash and turn Democracy upside down, then smash it to smithereens."
That is precisely and exactly what trDump did. He must be brought to accountability.
