Mercedes Schlapp, host of Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Now and former Trump White House director of strategic communications, criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s trial against former President Donald Trump, labeling it as “authoritarian.” In an interview at CPAC Hungary, Schlapp denounced the trial as lacking due process and fairness, expressing hope that the jury would see through what she described as a politically motivated attack. She also pointed out alleged coordination between the court cases against Trump and the White House.
During CPAC Hungary, Schlapp addressed Europe’s progressives who are apprehensive about Trump potentially returning to the White House in 2024. She praised Trump as a sensible and strong leader, emphasizing the importance of his diplomatic skills in handling international relations. Schlapp highlighted Trump’s approach to foreign policy and national security, urging America to prioritize its people and maintain global stability.
CPAC Hungary, held in Budapest, drew over 3,000 conservative attendees, making it the largest gathering of its kind in Europe. Schlapp’s message resonated with the audience as she defended Trump’s presidency and called for continued support for his policies.
