The most media adverse president in American history, Donald Trump, is asking the media (again) to preempt their most valuable, regularly scheduled, primetime programs, to air what will undoubtedly be a purely partisan political temper tantrum by Trump. If they are smart, they’ll say “NO!”

While a transcript of the speech has not been provided, insiders are reporting that Trump is planning to talk about election integrity generally, and specifically about his unwavering delusion that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” from him. And he is promising to present evidence to support his claims. But if it’s anything like past presentations of evidence, be prepared to laugh your ass off.
SEE THIS: Trump’s Source for ‘Tremendous Evidence’ of Election Fraud is MyPillow Kook Mike Lindell?
In a teaser for Trump’s televised tirade, his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is titillating viewers with the prospect that “The truth is, nobody knows yet what President Trump will ultimately say, which is why everyone should tune in.”
What a brilliant display of showmanship. Leavitt is enticing people to watch because Trump is so insanely unpredictable that virtually anything might happen, and you sure don’t want to miss it, whatever it is. Maybe he’ll confess to being the real Hannibal Lecter. Maybe he’ll shoot an arrow at an apple on JD Vance’s head. Who knows?
The problem is that Leavitt couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, no one is more predictable than Trump. It is easy to plot out what he will say in this address. He will (in no particular order) declare that he has totally defeated Iran (for the umpteenth time), brag about having glamorously renovated the White House and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, presided over the strongest economy in history, and denigrate America’s ungrateful allies.
Eventually Trump will get around to how the 2020 election was a fraud, and explain why his so-called “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) is so essential to the survivability of the nation. And he will finally offer the evidence that proves it. Never mind that he hasn’t bothered to do that for the past six years. And he lost more than 60 court cases challenging the legitimacy of the election.
What’s more, if he actually has any evidence, why is he going to present on a TV speech, rather than to a Grand Jury or other prosecutorial authority that could investigate, subpoena witnesses, and file charges? Legitimate evidence isn’t delivered via courtroom versions “Dancing with the Judges.”
During Leavitt’s Thursday morning White House press briefing she conceded to knowing what Trump’s speech would be about. And she made a point of alerting the press and the nation that “It will shock you.” Partly because…
“The media has refused to acknowledge that tens of millions of Americans across the country share the concerns of this president about the sanctity of our elections.”
Of course the reason that those Americans – a distinct minority made up of MAGA cultists – have such concerns is that their Dear Leader Trump told them to. Then Leavitt added that everything Trump says “will be backed by facts and by evidence that will be provided this evening.” So will Mike Lindell be there with him. Or Rudy Giuliani? Or Todd Blanche? Or Kash Patel so he can rush off to make some arrests with conveniently assembled camera crews?
Five years later, Trump is still trying to overturn the 2020 verdict. Garrett Haake asks why Trump "is unable to let this go."Karoline Leavitt promised tonight's speech "will shock you" and claimed his election conspiracies will be "backed by facts and by evidence."The Big Lie continues…

Suffice to say that this will be just another Trump boondoggle that he hopes will get some of the attention that is generally given to other phony television reality shows. There will be no bona fide news, other than the news that Trump has humiliated himself again. Which at this point is becoming somewhat redundant. And any broadcast network that carries the speech live is admitting that they just don’t practice journalism anymore.
UPDATE: As of 7:30 EST CNN, NBC, and ABC have confirmed that will not be airing Trump’s speech live. They will air air it in full on their streaming platforms, with fact checking. Further updates will be made when CBS and FOX (the MAGA nets) announce.
