President Donald Trump plans to claim in a Thursday night speech that newly declassified intelligence reports reveal a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, two White House officials told MS NOW on Monday.

Trump will be joined by officials including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, according to one of the officials, who were granted anonymity to discuss the internal plans, MS NOW reported.

Trump earlier Monday afternoon announced on Truth Social that he “will be making a Speech to the Nation on Thursday evening, at 9 P.M. Eastern,” without providing further details.

I bet this is all made up pretense for him to take control of elections

    Nobody in this country, or the world, believes a damn thing he has to say. It’s all pure bullshit, spewed from the shit-invested walls of his decaying cranium.

    They will use this to force the SAVE act as an emergency measure.

    It’s their last try to shove this up our asses.

      Or they will use it as an excuse to give up on the failed Iran negotiations and try a ground assault.

    Let me guess? It was Greenland, all along!! Now they’ll definitely have to annex them, just to stop the voter fraud!! Then, they’ll discover Canada was in on it, and invade them next.

        Dumbass starts a war with Canada and they burn the white house. Trump: “now they gotta pay for my ballroom! These losers are not too smart folks, not too smart.”

    “A foreign nation.” I guarantee that no foreign nation was interfering to get Biden elected.

    No shit there were plans. Russia and China plan to interfere with every election the US has. The real question is if there is proof that they were successful.

    Just saying there are plans is meaningless, but Trump and his toadies will trumpet this like his election denialism is actually justified. Utter and complete clown show.

    How about they instead focus on the inconceivably vast statistical improbability of the 2024 election instead. Probably more domestic interference than foreign, but still.

    Mueller report reported a similar thing. But this poor snowflake was in office so they postponed it… Never heard of again. Buried under the Epstein files. Also never heard of again. Because buried… etc.

    Inspires utmost confidence, if you don’t have properly functional gray matter.

    I’d bet a paycheck that a foreign country has interfered or planned to interfere or influence elections since the end of WWII, probably as early as the first election.

    If they prove that his first and second elections were interfered with and he still won; does that change anything? Do we get to undo all of his decisions? What does he plan to accomplish by pointing out that there was a security breach on his watch?

      Likely used as justification for some sort of illegal change to how voting works or to further push the “SAVE” act.

    This is how he keeps his psychotic cult riled up for midterms: give them a conspiracy to hold onto until time to vote. Then if it doesn’t go his way, we get another J6.
