Not like the earlier Trump CPAC speeches, this was a comparatively muted and boring affair.

King, the joys is gone.
Trump at CPAC 2024 had the appear and feel of a bunch of individuals, together with Trump, who have been simply going by way of the motions.
The MAGA motion and the Republican Social gathering each appear bored and drained, and Trump’s speech was a convincing flop.
