• President Donald Trump invoked some of his past favorite talking points to rail against his political opponents in his Saturday speech capping off the Conservative Political Action Conference.
• He attacked Democratic lawmakers and special counsel Robert Mueller, and touted his administration's economic and immigration policies.
• The rowdy speech came after a week of challenges against the president, which included a rebuke to his national emergency declaration, a failed summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and accusations from his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen of federal and financial crimes.

President Donald Trump fired up supporters with well-worn hits at his political opponents during his speech Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
