Embraced by conservative activists, the president zigzagged on a range of topics, from the 2016 campaign to immigration to trade, in a speech that stretched beyond two hours.
By Seung Min Kim and Brian Fung March 2 at 3:31 PM President Trump capped a tumultuous week by reveling in the embrace of conservative activists on Saturday, deriding investigations of him as “bullshit,” repeatedly complaining about coverage of his crowd sizes and abruptly announcing an executive order to mandate protection of free speech on college campuses.
“So now they go and morph into, let’s inspect every deal he’s ever done,” Trump complained. Nicknaming House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff as “Little Shifty Schiff,” Trump continued: “These people are sick. They’re sick.” Cohen testified in detail about how Trump manipulated financial records and learned of WikiLeaks’ efforts to dump damaging information on Hillary Clinton in advance.
Trump has repeatedly slammed Powell for raising interest rates too quickly. Powell has said the rate hikes were necessary in light of the economic evidence, but in January acknowledged the case for raising rates “has weakened” somewhat. “When the wind stops blowing, that’s the end of your electric,” Trump said, before launching into an impression. “‘Darling, is the wind blowing today? I’d like to watch television, darling.’”
Ahead of Saturday’s conference, Trump dealt with a chaotic and tumultuous week even by his own standards.
