Roger Stone, ex-advisor to the ex-president pardoned by Donald Trump, dances to a Trump rap.
The background for this bizarre performance is the "Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC)", the annual meeting of the US Conservatives. Once a serious traditional meeting, this time a tribute to the elected president.

“You're not going to take away my freedom of speech. That's why I'm here. I want to fully support President Trump. He's the best president in my life and he's done more for us than any other president combined. "
Donald Trump will speak at the event himself.
He is omnipresent at the conference.
There are plenty of Trump souvenirs out there, including a gold statue slated to sell for $ 100,000.

“We believe that Trump is the heart and soul of Republicans, and they cannot ignore him. There are 72 million of us who like this guy and who voted for him. "
Despite Corona, the CPAC is held as a face-to-face event.
Mike Pompeo also made an appearance.
The former US Secretary of State made fun of the elected US President Biden - and was celebrated.

"America First" takes real courage. It takes a Secretary of State who is willing to walk into a room and say what it is like and a President to back him up. We had that. (Applause) Speaking of which, I hear President Biden say, “America is back.” Back to what? (Laughter) Back to pallets of money to the Ayatollah so he can build missiles that threaten us? Back to an apology when Iranians bring our soldiers and sailors with us bring them to their knees at gunpoint? "
The highlight of the event will be the appearance of Donald Trump himself this Sunday.
Many conservatives are looking forward to the event.
They expect him to hold the prospect of running again for the 2024 presidential election.

"The Republicans in Congress better get behind him or they'll look at it from the outside."
The speech is also expected with great interest in Europe.
In the United States, it seems, many Trump fans are already - or still - in campaign mode.
