Some members of the mainstream media are expressing concern over Donald Trump’s forceful declaration of “retribution” during his speech at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). CNN journalist John Avlon voiced his worry on “CNN This Morning” while discussing Trump’s 62% victory in the CPAC straw poll. During his hour and a half long speech, Trump heavily criticized Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other members of the GOP for their handling of the conflict in Ukraine and their attempts to curb spending on Social Security and Medicare.
Donald Trump solidified his message of seeking vengeance when he proclaimed to the audience at CPAC, “In 2016, I announced: I am your voice. Today, I’m adding: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And to those who have been mistreated and betrayed: I am your retribution.” John Avlon commented on Trump’s lengthy 145-minute speech and his posts on Truth Social, claiming they indicated that he was not in good mental health. However, Avlon acknowledged that Trump is currently the leading candidate for the Republican nomination.
