Because many of you, you’re not part of the story. So you have no idea how bad it is, because if you are not part of the story - and I put myself in your position sometimes. You will see stories dry up like you’ve never seen before. They are very dishonest people.Īnd they shouldn’t use sources. They’re great.īut there are some terrible dishonest people and they do a tremendous disservice to our country and to our people. They’re talented, they’re honest as the day is long. I mean, I had a story written yesterday about me in Reuters by a very honorable man. “A source says that Donald Trump is a horrible, horrible human being.” Let ’em say it to my face.Īnd remember this - and in not - in all cases. They shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name.
I’m against the people that make up stories and make up sources. I don’t mind bad stories if I deserve them.Īnd I tell ya, I love good stories, but we don’t go…īut I am only against the fake news, media or press. So I’m not against the media, I’m not against the press. And now I’m saying, “Oh no, this is no good.” But that’s the way they are. They dropped off the word “fake.” And all of a sudden the story became the media is the enemy.
In fact, in covering my comments, the dishonest media did not explain that I called the fake news the enemy of the people. They have nine sources.” They make up sources. There were no nine people.īut they say “nine people.” And somebody reads it and they think, “Oh, nine people. Nine people.Īnd I said, “Give me a break.” Because I know the people, I know who they talk to. I don’t believe there was one or two people. I saw one story recently where they said, “Nine people have confirmed.” There’re no nine people. They are the enemy of the people.īecause they have no sources, they just make ’em up when there are none. It’s fake, phony, fake.Ī few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people. Never.Īnd I want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. Especially my opponents, because I kept them down to a minimum.īut the consultants didn’t think we would win.īut they all underestimated the power of the people: You. They’re not good at politics, but they’re really good at sucking up people’s money. The consultants that suck up all that money - oh, they suck it up. You did it because you love your country, because you want a better future for your children and because you want to make America great again.
Took you a long time.Īnd it’s patriots like you that made it happen, believe me. And now you finally have a president, finally. TRUMP: So, I’ve been with CPAC for a long time. … and people consider that controversial but you didn’t consider it controversial. We wanted all of the things that we’re going to get… I would’ve come last year but I was worried that I would be, at that time, too controversial.

So when you have practically no notes and no preparation and then you leave and everybody was thrilled, I said, “I think I like this business.” I had very little notes and even less preparation. And I got a little bit concerned when I saw what was happening in the country. I loved the commotion.Īnd then they did these polls were I went through the roof and I wasn’t even running, right?īut it gave me an idea. So I just want to thank - but you know my first major speak was at CPAC and - probably five or six years ago. They leave out the part, “They never sat down.” They leave that out. “Donald Trump did not get a standing ovation.” So they will say, “He never got a standing ovation,” right? (Inaudible). No - you know why? Because everybody stood and nobody sat. You know the dishonest media they’ll say, “He didn’t get a standing ovation.” You know why? TRUMP: You know if you remember my first major speech - sit down everybody. … I’ll be doing this with CPAC whenever I can and I’ll make sure that we’re here a lot. These are my friends.Īnd we’ll see you again next year and the year after that and I’ll be doing this… I wouldn’t miss a chance to talk to my friends. When I watch them on television defending me, nobody has a chance.Īnd when Matt called and asked I said, “Absolutely I’ll be there with you.” I mean, the real reason I said it, I didn’t want him to go against me cause that…Īnd it really is an honor to be here. So thank you - thank you very much.įirst of all, I want to thank Matt Schlapp and his very, very incredible wife, and boss, Mercedes, who have been fantastic friends and supporters and so great.
