Trump will talk about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. In addition, expect the 45th president to take over President Biden’s “disastrous amnesty and border policies”, according to a source familiar with Trump’s speech.
Trump has remained relatively quiet since leaving the White House on January 20 for his resort in Mar-a-lago in Florida and after Twitter banned him from the social media platform after the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
But Trump has indicated that he wants to remain politically active and told his supporters after the impeachment was absolved that the MAGA movement is still going strong.

“Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement for Make America Great Again (MAGA) is just beginning,” he said in a statement last week. “In the coming months, I have a lot to share with you and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!”
Fox News was the first to report in December that the CPAC will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida, from February 25 to 28.
The conference, first launched in 1974, has always been held in or near Washington, DC. For the past eight years, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Maryland, just outside the District of Columbia, has been the home of CPAC. But the huge resort remained closed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
