Donald Trump was impeached over allegations that he tried to get an investigation of his political opponent by withholding aid from Ukraine.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump continued to tease another presidential run in a long and profanity-laden speech.

Trump told the crowd that they will do it again in November of 2024.

The CPAC has a popular topic of voter fraud.

The fight against COVID-19 restrictions is being fought in Australia and Canada.

In recent days, Trump's comments about Putin being smart and genius have attracted attention, and he didn't back away from them Saturday. Trump commented on the reaction to his praise for Putin, saying it was a terrible thing to say.

The problem is not that Putin is smart, but that our leaders are dumb.

Trump said that the steps taken to penalize Russia by American and European allies was a weak statement. They're going to sanction me if I take over a whole country. They are not going to blow us to pieces.

Trump's first impeachment ended in an acquittal by the U.S. Senate, because of the large role that Ukraine played in his presidency.

The controversy centered around Trump's phone call with Zelensky, who was praised for his actions in defending his country against Russia.

Zelensky talked about buying more military equipment from the United States and Trump replied, "I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot, and Ukraine knows a lot about it."

Zelensky was accused of trying to hurt Biden's candidacy.

Trump offers wide-ranging comments on Ukraine

The story about my phone call with the president of Ukraine was made up by the lead House impeachment manager, according to Trump.

The invasion of the democratic nation by Russia was calledappalling by Trump.

Rick Scott didn't talk about the tax hike in his response to the GOP criticism.

"Freedom and liberty is being threatened again, and Americans are also at risk of losing freedoms, points to cancel culture."

The United States should focus on its own border, according to Trump. He said it was interesting that so many Democratic politicians in Washington were rushing to proclaim that the borders of Ukraine were sacred.

They want to say that their borders are sacred and that they feel for Ukraine.

The world is always in danger with a weak American president, and Trump took a shot at former President Barack Obama.

Obama authorized $53 million in non-lethal aid to Ukraine in 2014, including body armor, helmets, vehicles, night and thermal vision goggles, but rejected the country's request for weapons.

Is Trump running in 2024? CPAC speech touches on popular campaign issues

Trump's 85-minute speech touched on many of the issues he has championed over the years, including building a wall on the border with Mexico and appointing conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices, while folding in a host of new proposals.

The 2020 election was the focus of Trump's false claim. He said the GOP can't move on from 2020 because they can do it again.

He said that every state must have election integrity measures.

Slamming Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Trump said he used to come to the White House and kiss him.

The crowd chanted "lock her up" when Trump continued to attack Clinton.
