CPAC speech: "I will be making a decision sometime prior to June"

In his debut speech at CPAC, Donald Trump stole the show with a bombastic address teasing a presidential run. "I will be making a decision sometime prior to June," he announced, positioning himself as a wealthy outsider who could solve the country's problems. He attacked Ron Paul (who won the straw poll) as having "zero chance" of getting elected, and criticized other potential rivals like Mitt Romney. The speech was a pivotal moment, transforming his media-driven flirtation with politics into a tangible campaign platform in front of the conservative base.
