Donald Trump took stage at a Conservative Political Action Conference gathering on Sunday where he reminded Republicans 'we are the majority' in the U.S.
'Never forget that the radical left is not the Majority in this country—we are the Majority, and it's not even close,' the former president told a friendly crowd in Dallas, Texas.
'Like socialist and communist movements throughout history, today's leftists do not believe in freedom, they do not believe in fairness, and they do not believe in democracy,' Trump said. 'They believe in Marxist morality—anything is justified as long as it hurts their political opponents and advances the radical agenda of their party.'
Trump took aim at 'Biden's border crisis', corruption in Big Tech, rising crime, Democrats' proposed tax increases and the too-swift withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

'Never forget that the radical left is not the Majority in this country—we are the Majority, and it's not even close,' Trump said as he took aim against 'Biden's border crisis', corruption in Big Tech, rising crime, Democrats' proposed tax increases and the too-swift withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan
'The Democrats know their policies on crime are so unpopular, so radical, and so crazy, they are now trying to pretend they never led the de-fund the police movement in the first place. But everyone knows this is an outrageous lie,' he said.
The 'defund police' movement spread among progressive Democrats after the police killing of Georgge Floyd in May 2020. Now Biden's administration and Democratic lawmakers are blaming the movement on Republicans after massive crime spikes spread across the country and became vastly unpopular.
Trump also brought up his lawsuit against Big Tech companies, which gained a huge round of applause.
'To protect the Constitutional rights and liberties of every citizen, this week I filed a major Class Action lawsuit – a lot of people are joining – a big class action lawsuit against the Big Tech Giants. We are SUING Facebook, Twitter, and Google,' Trump said.
'We are taking Mark 'Zuckerbucks,' Jack Dorsey, and the other Silicon Valley billionaires to federal court,' Trump said, 'and we will keep on fighting until we have stopped this assault on our liberties and until we have restored the sacred right to freedom of speech for every single American.'
Trump added: 'We are a laughing stock all over the world.'
Throughout the remarks, Trump had scattered comments about the 2020 election, which he maintained was 'rigged' and made 'too easy' for Democrats to cheat.
Donald Jr. previewed Trump's speech in the days before by claiming 'with my father, you never know' what you'll get.
'I can assure you it's going to be interesting. I can assure you people will be outraged,' the eldest Trump son told Fox News at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday before taking stage for his own speech.
Fox asked Don Jr. if he could tease Trump's speech, to which he said: 'With my father, you never know, right?'
It is known, however, that the ex-president does not plan to use his platform at the largest and most influential conservative gathering to announce a reelection bid for 2024.
He all but told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that he will likely enter the race for the White House, but made clear that he can't officially make his announcement yet.
