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.

      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.
