Let me start by stating I didn't see anyone wearing green ribbons at CPAC. There were Republicans wearing the ribbon at the State of the Union, but, that stops afterward evidently.
There were also no Blue Dog Democrats, either.
Blue Dogs (click here) are not beholden to any political party leadership, but rather the constituents they represent.
But, the Donald Trump thing is assuming he was actually speaking to that huge Political Action Conference. I don't think he was addressing the people in the room so much as seeking to use influence to speak to Europe.
The argument can be made Trump was speaking to the racist side of those at the PAC as Europeans are not Hispanic so much as nice white folks. But, I think it goes beyond that.
...For instance, (click here) instead of allowing the 11-million illegal immigrants to remain in our country – all of whom he says will vote for Obama – we need to allow more American-educated Europeans who attend prestigious universities, like Harvard, to stay in this country after graduation and use what they learned rather than taking that knowledge back to Europe.
“I have many friends from Europe, people I know, tremendous people, hard-working people. They can’t come in,” Trump said. “Nobody wants to talk about this. Nobody wants to say this.”
Not allowing Europeans to work in this country is one issue, but the former presidential nominee could not help but harshly criticize President Obama and the White House administration, which garnered applause; although, he did not touch on politics too much....
Trump is having trouble in Europe. I don't doubt he has friends in some places of Europe and I don't doubt he would like to be an influence peddler to the potential to immigration to the USA, but, he isn't exactly welcome in Europe. Scotland in particular.

An 11,000-signature petition (click here) calling for a public inquiry into the handling of Donald Trump's golf project in Aberdeenshire has been lodged with the Scottish Parliament....
I think the Trump speech when it came to immigration carried a racist message, but, it also carried a message of influence and corruption to people in Europe.
