The Tiny Tyrant’s appearance at CPAC, not all he claimed, to say the least. Here’s the roundup:
President Donald Trump complained the media would not report that crowds lined up for six blocks to hear him speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference — and he’s right.
There were no lines outside the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center, where the annual CPAC gathering is hosted, because the event is private, reported The Slot.

CPAC attendees wave Russian flags with the word “TRUMP” written on the front (Screen cap).
Russian flags were being waved all over the place during the Tiny Tyrant’s braggadocio, which alarmed CPAC organizers, who had them quickly collected.
Apparently, the flags were handed out beforehand in an act of brilliant subversion. People who prefer obscurantism are so damn gullible. By the way, if you’re unclear about all the latest on the Russian situation, Think Progress has you covered.

Lastly, the twitternet exploded over the Tiny Tyrant’s bizzare speech, a mix of bragging and a philippic against media.

Remember the bad old days when being in-cahoots with Russia was a political death knell?
Yes, I do. Those would be the good ol’ days now.
I just wanna know what the US should be doing about Nordstrom’s. Is the threat real?
So The Daily Caller has a story on the flags. They not only named the wrong person, but they called him “shadowy” and “questionable”… while using JAMES O’KEEFE AS A SOURCE!

My mistake. Both the person they named and the one I read about elsewhere were involved.
The James O’Keefe thing is still laughably real.
Pfff, if you cannot tell a Russian flag on sight or don’t care because it says “Trump” then you deserve all the ridicule you get.
Yeah, but they were red white and blue. In some order. It’s the colours, right, that are important? Not the arrangement…?
