ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Leading Republicans spent much of three days avoiding Donald Trumps chief grievances or ignoring him altogether as they unified behind a midterm message designed to win back the voters the polarizing former president alienated while in office.
That changed Saturday night.
Facing thousands of cheering activists at the Conservative Political Action Conferences annual meeting, Trump falsely blamed his 2020 election loss on widespread voter fraud, for which there is no evidence. As Russian troops advanced on the Ukrainian capital in an invasion widely condemned by Western leaders, Trump described Russian President Vladimir Putin as smart.
Of course hes smart, Trump said, doubling down on praise of the Russian leader that many other Republicans have avoided in the wake of the invasion. But the real problem is our leaders are dumb. Dumb. So dumb.
While Trump expressed support for the Ukrainian people and called the countrys president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a brave man, he also noted his ties with other leading autocrats. He specifically pointed to his friendly relationships with Xi Jinping of China and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

(6,485 posts)Which part? The Jan. 6 failed insurrection, or the double impeachment? We'll do it again, too! Donny Two Scoops will most likely be in jail. His timing on this "running again" announcement is probably done on the theory that, if he is a candidate, nobody can touch him! He doesn't think too clearly, and doesn't pay wages to those that do.
