President Biden
Joe Biden Biden ‘disappointed’ in Senate parliamentary ruling but ‘respects’ decision Taylor Swift celebrates passage of Donald Trump Jr. calls Bruce Springsteen’s dropped charges ‘liberal privilege’ MORE spent his first five weeks in the office peeling off the legacy of its predecessor, one executive action at a time. On Sunday, former President Donald Trump will take his first opportunity to respond.
Biden moved on his first day in office to reenter the Paris climate accords, cut funding for the border wall, overturn Trump’s travel ban, and redo the World Health Organization. And the president’s rhetoric is regularly filled with swipes about Trump’s failed handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his inability to be transparent to the public.
Trump’s first media appearances since his departure focused on national headlines about the deaths of Rush Limbaugh and Tiger Woods’ serious car accident. But he is expected to answer the fire against Biden in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday.
“Joe Biden’s dangerous failures in the first month will feature prominently in Sunday’s speech,” said Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump.
Immigration is expected to be one of the dominant topics of the address, according to people familiar with the planning. Trump is likely to take advantage of the influx of migrants at the southern border, prompting the Biden administration to reopen a Texas teen facility that operated for a month during the previous administration.
That decision has sparked fire from all sides, with liberals decrying the use of the facilities to house young migrants, and conservatives complaining that Biden’s policies are pulling immigrants to the border amid the pandemic.
Trump’s crackdown at CPAC comes as former Trump officials are slowly increasing their visibility and criticism of the Biden administration’s policies.

Miller, who only occasionally appeared on television during the Trump administration, has been a regular on Fox News since Biden took office.
But no one in the Republican Party is drawing attention like Trump, and all eyes in the political world will be on his address on Sunday.
The Biden administration’s early policies were largely aimed at undoing Trump’s actions and addressing what they believed were shortcomings left by the previous administration in the distribution of vaccines.
In addition to executive orders from day one, Biden has established a task force to reunite families who were separated during the Trump administration and has repealed the ban on transgender troops in the military.
On Wednesday, Biden issued an executive order that reversed a series of Trump actions, including actions that set new guidelines for federal architecture, outlined new regulatory guidelines during the pandemic, and a review of funding for so-called “ anarchist ” cities where protests took place. last summer.
Despite its focus on dismantling Trump’s policies and tendency to blame him for the initial problems with the vaccine rollout, the White House has been adamant that it will not respond if the former president speaks.
Biden said at a CNN town hall earlier this month that he was tired of talking about Trump. And press secretary Jen Psaki

Psaki on Tuesday referred to Trump’s forthcoming speech at CPAC as a “performance,” and on Thursday said any upcoming comment from the former president about immigration would be of little use to the current administration.
