NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — Speaking to a boisterous, full-capacity crowd at the 2017 edition of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), President Donald Trump delivered all-encompassing remarks that included blistering attacks on the “fake news media,” incorrect polling, anonymous sources, and “the Clinton News Network” of CNN.

Trump turned his ire toward the media almost immediately, but not before he reminisced about his first “major political speech” at CPAC (came back in 2011) that he “loved” in addition to “the commotion” where he spoke with “practically no notes and no preparation.”
