President Trump surprises the crowd as he makes his grand return to CPAC.
He poked fun at Biden while also sharing his heart on how he felt about seeing criminals pouring in over the last four years.
The event also saw Vice President Vance, border czar Tom Homan, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt join in.
A CPAC straw poll showed Trump with a near-unanimous approval rating.
The mood was festive and nothing but high hopes and optimism for at least the next four years.
"The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists, and Deep State bureaucrats are being sent packing. The illegal alien criminals are being sent home. We’re draining the swamp and restoring government by the people."

Of course it wouldn’t be a proper Trump speech without roasting his anti-American enemies.

The Hill reports:
President Trump took a victory lap at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this week after his resounding general election victory in November.
The annual event featured an array of Trump’s most vocal supporters, including Vice President Vance, border czar Tom Homan and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
While the mood among speakers and attendees was celebratory, this year’s gathering appeared somewhat diminished in terms of its overall importance on the national level.
Here are five takeaways from CPAC 2025:
CPAC goes full MAGA
Prior to Trump’s foray into politics, CPAC was seen as a big tent gathering for conservatives of all stripes. The annual event was an opportunity for various kinds of conservatives and Republicans to tout their visions in front of the grassroots.Additionally, the gathering was an opportunity for emerging Republican talent to introduce themselves to the grassroots.
But in the Trump era, he is the clear star of CPAC. There is virtually no room for criticism of the president among the staunchly pro-Trump crowd. Most speakers, American and foreign, made a point of heaping praise on the president and his conservative populist agenda.
ADVERTISEMENTUnderscoring that fact was the CPAC straw poll, which showed Trump with a 99 percent approval rating among 1,022 attendees, with 95 percent saying they “strongly approved.”
Trump takes victory lap after chaotic first month
In addition to being a celebration of his election victory, CPAC was also a victory lap following Trump’s whirlwind first month in office.Musk discussed the administration’s moves to slash the size and scope of the federal government at breakneck speed, while Vance noted his address at the Munich Security Conference last week that left European leaders seething at his criticism.
Various odes to Trump’s first month in office were on display throughout the conference, including bedazzled jackets on sale with “Gulf of America” written on the back of them. A number of speakers criticized The Associated Press for its policy choosing to refer to the body of water as the “Gulf of Mexico” in its stylebook.
