Trump to Give Primetime Speech on Thursday: What to Expect
Axios reported that an unnamed senior adviser expects Trump’s Thursday primetime speech to be a “potpourri” about topics he deems important but that the Iran war will be one of the discussion points. “It’s changing by the minute, but it’s something he wants to address,” the adviser told the outlet.
Focusing on elections
Elections are also reportedly going to be another point of discussion. Reuters reported, citing an unnamed Administration official, that Trump will speak about newly declassified intelligence on investigations into U.S. elections and what the White House claims are risks related to voting machines.
MS NOW first reported on the speech’s planned content, citing two anonymized White House officials.
Trump, who lost to Joe Biden in 2020, has repeatedly claimed without evidence that that year’s election and other elections in the country have been rigged. The President has continued to promote conspiracy theories even as his own Justice Department, lawsuits, and independent studies have failed to find evidence of significant anomalies.
