Trump returns to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday — his first visit since leaving in disgrace after Jan. 6 — to deliver the keynote address for AFPI’s America First Agenda Summit. As the ex-president is poised to announce a 2024 run, his allies are eager for him to use the occasion to press pause of his grievances about 2020 and begin to lay out a game plan for 2024.

Will that speech be televised? probably.

why do the other side seem to have so many of these big summits and conferences and all sorts of events headlined by trump and his cronies. and they all make headlines... and they all make money.

they are experts at manipulating the media.
