JD Vance Praises Trump Administration’s Early Successes at CPAC

At the opening session of CPAC, Vice President JD Vance recounted the Trump administration’s early wins, asserting that the primary mission was to restore safety and prosperity within just 30 days of taking office. Speaking at National Harbor in Maryland, Vance detailed how the administration tackled illegal immigration, reclaimed American energy leadership, and managed to slash excessive government spending, even remarking humorously on the number of executive orders signed compared to CNN’s viewership.

Vance stressed that the administration had already made significant progress in curbing illegal border crossings by enforcing a stricter immigration policy. He pointed to a drastic reduction in such crossings and announced plans to designate certain migrant criminal groups as foreign terrorist organizations, sending a clear message that these groups would no longer be tolerated.

On the subject of economic growth, Vance emphasized the need to reinvigorate the American economy by creating better jobs and higher wages. He referenced the popular "drill, baby, drill" mantra as a commitment to boosting the nation’s energy sector, a move that received enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Criticizing previous spending practices, Vance condemned the misuse of taxpayer dollars under the current administration. He illustrated his point by questioning the funding of unconventional projects overseas, asserting that such practices had come at the expense of American taxpayers, and stressed the importance of rebuilding the country’s infrastructure and financial stewardship.

Finally, Vance argued that robust immigration and border policies are integral to ensuring that future generations can thrive in a safe and secure America. He drew parallels between the need for American resilience and the broader defense of free speech and sovereignty, urging for a return to policies that prioritize national security and cultural preservation.
