Donald Trump: The Speech That Started It All | CPAC

Donald Trump reflects on the speech that helped launch his political movement, recalling his early appearances at CPAC and the path that led to the presidency.

Speaking before a packed CPAC audience, Trump looks back on the 2016 election, the skepticism he faced during the campaign, and the coalition of supporters who helped deliver one of the most unexpected victories in modern American political history. He discusses the America First agenda, judicial appointments, economic growth, and the policies he believes reshaped the country.

Trump also recounts how political commentators repeatedly argued there was "no path to 270" electoral votes before his victory, while emphasizing the role grassroots conservatives played in building a movement that challenged the political establishment.

CPAC hosts incredible guests and speakers including Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Ben Shapiro, Steve Bannon, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Dan Bongino, Michael Knowles, and many more leading voices in conservative media and politics.
