CPAC 2024: Trump taunts Biden’s teleprompter skills
NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland – Trump Mocks Biden at Conservative Political Action Conference
As former President Donald Trump took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference, he didn’t hold back in his criticism of President Joe Biden. With an hour and a half of remarks, Trump entertained the crowd by impersonating Biden’s stumbling and pointing gestures.
“He always points, like where am I, thank you,” Trump said, imitating Biden pointing. “And then he points, and then he ends up going in the opposite direction.” If there’s a wall behind him, he ends up walking into the wall.
This comedic routine is nothing new for Trump. He often showcased these imitations during his campaign rallies, exaggerating Biden’s actions and mocking the 81-year-old president.

“When I imitate him with the stairs, he can never find his way. Do you ever see — Secret Service runs up and grabs him, helps him off the stairs,” Trump exclaimed. “This is what we have negotiating nuclear weapons,” as the crowd applauded.
Throughout his speech, Trump continued to improvise, delighting the friendly crowd with his off-the-cuff remarks.
“Isn’t this better than reading off a teleprompter; anyone can do that except for Biden. He can’t do that either,” Trump said, as the crowd cheered.
After a long ramble, Trump predicted that the media would portray him as cognitively impaired for going off on tangents. However, he confidently declared it as “genius.”
With the possibility of a Trump-Biden rematch in 2024, voters may have to choose between the 78-year-old Trump or the 82-year-old Biden. The next president inaugurated on January 20, 2025, will likely be the oldest person ever sworn in as president of the United States. Previous presidents’ median age at inauguration was 55, according to the Pew Research Center.

What did Trump accuse Biden of regarding border security and the Paris Climate Agreement?
Ld Trump took to the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland, he wasted no time in ridiculing his successor, President Joe Biden. The event, held on February 28th, 2021, marked Trump’s first major public appearance since leaving office, and it provided him with a platform to critique Biden’s policies and leadership.
In his speech, Trump unleashed a series of scathing remarks targeting President Biden’s handling of various issues, including immigration, foreign policy, and the economy. He questioned the administration’s decision to reverse many of his own policies, particularly regarding border security and the controversial Paris Climate Agreement. Trump accused Biden of putting American jobs and national security at risk by “caving in” to international pressure.
Furthermore, Trump took aim at Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, criticizing his administration’s vaccination efforts and calling for the immediate re-opening of schools nationwide. He blamed Biden for what he deemed the failure to effectively distribute vaccines, arguing that his administration had laid the groundwork for the successful development and distribution of the vaccines.
However, Trump’s speech was not solely focused on criticizing his successor. He also used the opportunity to tout his own accomplishments during his presidency. He highlighted the strong pre-pandemic economy, tax cuts, deregulation efforts, and the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines under Operation Warp Speed. Trump defended his ”America First” policies, insisting that they prioritized the needs and interests of American citizens.
The crowd at the CPAC event was receptive to Trump’s remarks, displaying their unwavering support and enthusiasm throughout his speech. Chants of “we love you” and “four more years” echoed among the attendees, demonstrating the enduring loyalty of Trump’s base. The former president’s presence at the conference served as a reminder of his continued influence within the Republican Party.
Trump’s appearance at CPAC also raised speculation about his future political ambitions. Although he did not explicitly announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, he hinted at the possibility by stating, “Who knows, I may decide to beat them for the third time.” This remark left room for interpretation and ignited conversations about Trump’s potential run for the presidency in the future.
The Conservative Political Action Conference has long provided a platform for prominent conservative figures to share their views and rally their supporters. Trump’s appearance at this year’s event was no exception, as he delivered a fiery speech that resonated with his base. His criticisms of President Biden’s policies and leadership underscored the deep divide between the two administrations and served as a testament to the enduring impact of Trump’s presidency.
As the political landscape in the United States continues to evolve, the role of prominent figures like Trump will undoubtedly shape the direction of conservatism in the coming years. While it remains uncertain whether Trump will run for president again, his presence at the CPAC event and his relentless critique of President Biden indicate that he is far from disappearing from the political arena. Only time will tell how Trump’s influence will continue to shape conservative politics in the United States.
