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

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

    I would be more surprised if countries like Russia, Iran, and the DPRK didn’t have plans to try and interfere in US elections. Now, can he provide evidence that those plans actually went into effect and had a material outcome on the election? Because that’s what really matters. I can make elaborate plans to create cold fusion. But small issues like entropy mean those plans don’t count for shit.

    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.

    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.

    So we all know what he’s going to claim now right? We’re going to keep pretending after that, America?

    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.

      That’s not true. Something like 40% of the US population believes every word he says, no matter what.

        That’s what kills me the most. It’s completely shaken my belief that people are anything more than stupid scared animals in a herd.

    It’s ALWAYS the republicans cheating. If they’re not cheating, lying, or raping, then they’re projecting about one of those things.

      In this case he’s almost telling the truth. It’s just that election was rigged by and for him with the help of Russia. There’s a very clear Russian Tail on all three elections he was involved in.

    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.
