Donald Trump is showing signs of dismay since his poorly-attended CPAC speech, despite his own claims of a packed house. In particular, he seems angry at the Republican Party, attacking a list of right-wing entities in media and politics.
Trump has been busy on Truth Social since appearing at CPAC, where he spewed his unhinged grievances. He’s posted dozens of times, sharing clips of his speech, right-wing blog posts praising him, and a lot of complaints and attacks.
Among others, Trump lashed out at George Soros, the philanthropist about whom the GOP has spun a long list of conspiracy theories; Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, who has said indictment decisions are imminent; and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is investigating Trump’s alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels to prevent her from coming forward with her story of their brief affair.
However, not all of Trump’s targets are on the left. He also attacked Republicans who he has clashed with, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, as well as Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch, and a conservative organization that held a fundraiser on the same weekend as CPAC — and didn’t invite Trump.

In one post, he denied this, declaring that he had not been “snubbed,” but in fact that the Club for Growth — and Ron DeSantis — are “globalists who want to cut social security and Medicare.

“The Club for No Growth didn’t “snub” me at all, as was reported in the Fake News NYT. It is I that won’t deal with them because, like Ron DeSanctus, they are GLOBALISTS who want to cut Social Security and Medicare…”
“Ron DeSanctus voted THREE TIMES to cut and destroy Social Security, and increase the age requirement to at least 70. LIKEWISE, he voted to radically CUT MEDICARE.”

“Too bad Larry Hogan, the RINO Former Governor of Maryland, is dropping out of the Presidential Race. While he didn’t stand a chance, he would have been fun to practice on!”
The former president cited the misleading 2000 Mules documentary and the nothing-burger Twitter Files as evidence that the longstanding conservative media mogul should agree with him.
“How does Rupert Murdoch say there was no election fraud when 2000 Mules shows, on government tape, that there were millions of “stuffed ballots,” & Elon Musk released the FBI/Twitter Files, where pollsters say that the silencing of information made a 17% difference in the Vote.”
News reports on another political figure — Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s former press secretary — refusing to endorse him also seemed to enrage Trump, and earn an attack, as did video clips and commentary addressing the small audience and weak response to his CPAC appearance, which he denied.
