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

    So he will claim that elections are suspended this year to combat fraud. The illegal fraud he is perpetrating on the USA. Don the Con, we got your number you complete fucking idiot.

    I 100% support voting, but we are at a point where that isn’t enough and not enough people have realized or accepted that.

    The midterms will not bring respite - I’m happy to be wrong.

    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.

    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.

    “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.

    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.
