A special article about tonight’s speech by Trump detailing efforts in 2020 to interfere in the election. Please share!!!

President Donald Trump is going to address the nation Thursday night about alleged foreign interference in the 2020 Election and election machine vulnerabilities.

Who are we kidding? Trump could have a soccer stadium full of foreigners weeping and confessing to having fixed the election and half the country—and 95% of the media—will still insist Joe Biden legitimately got 81 million votes. Don’t believe me? How many Democrats still believe Trump called Nazis and white supremacists at the Charlottesville Riot “very fine people” despite video proof Trump said the opposite?

Democrats are more likely to confess to the Manson murders than admit Trump was right. About anything.

Conversely, the other half of the country will be saying, “Of course 2020 was rigged. Nobody who gets manhandled by the Easter Bunny is going to get 12 million more votes than Barack Obama. That thing was fishier than Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio. Graham Platner will win ‘The Bachelorette’ before Joe Biden legitimately wins that race.”

So what’s the point of Thursday night’s speech? Who’s it for? Posterity. It’s for the record. And for America’s future.

For the Record: The Reckoning With 2020

First off, the United States won’t truly have its head on straight until it reckons with 2020. Not just the election, but COVID, and the George Floyd riots.

Thankfully, the DEI, “Black Lives Matter” and “Defund the Police” garbage ginned up after Floyd’s death has been largely cleaned up.

Thankfully, COVID’s reality is becoming clear. Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s recent release of declassified intelligence indicating Dr. Anthony Fauci in funding and covering up the origins of COVID is the latest step in helping the nation understand that much of what was said and done with COVID was BS. The masks, the shutdown, the social distancing …

The social distancing that, not coincidentally, gave Democrat officials in swing states the excuse they were looking for to run roughshod over state constitutions, and force massive mail-in balloting, which swung the door wide open for all manner of mischief. To “fortify” the election as some involved in the self-described “conspiracy” boasted to TIME magazine in February 2021.

Thankfully, on Thursday night, President Trump may finally offer some clear, comprehensive idea of just how badly the nation got Spencer Platt-ed in 2020.

Actually, it shouldn’t be Trump.

Let the Others … and the Evidence … Do the Talking

Trump’s been screaming “I wus robbed!” from the minute mysterious overnight ballot dumps sent Biden’s fortunes in Democrat-run swing state jurisdictions spiking like the blood sugar of a five-year-old at a birthday party. And he has not stopped. His gravestone will be marked “Three-time Presidential Election Winner.”

Similarly, the media has been screaming “Trump’s lying!” in response. And hasn’t stopped. Virtually every media story even remotely involving the 2020 election includes phrases like “Trump’s false claim” or “Trump, without evidence.” It’s a mantra. Like “Trump Colluded with Russia,” “Hunter’s Laptop is Russian Misinformation,” “17 Intelligence Agencies Determined Russia Hacked the DNC,” “Trump Led an Insurrection January 6,” “Trump Responsible for U.S. World Cup Loss.”

The White House doctor could say Trump has 20/20 vision, and the media would declare, “Unlike his false claims about the 2020 election.”

Given that, Trump would be wise to let others do the talking Thursday night. FBI Director Kash Patel, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Acting Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lucas will be there. They must not be standing there like flag posts. They … and the evidence … must lead the way.

The bar for these officials is not as high as people might think.

Folks talk and joke about Biden’s 81,000,000 votes, but that’s not the real number the presentation should focus on. The real number is 42,918. That’s difference between Trump winning and losing. Less than 43,000 votes spread across three states, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

10K votes in Arizona? 11K votes in Georgia? 21K in Wisconsin? That’s Stacey Abrahms daily caloric intake. (I mention her because she was heavily instrumental to the shenanigans in Georgia.)

So China…or Russia…or Ukraine…or Iran…or Venezuela wouldn’t have needed to put their thumb on the scale to make a difference. Just the tip of their pinky. (And as John Solomon reported in April, China tried putting its whole red hand on the scale.)

For the Future: The SAVE America Act

Still, what difference would evidence of foreign trickery, even trickery that changed the outcome, make at this point? Joe Biden is plugging his presidential memoir, and Trump is plugging away on the world’s problems.

Simple: Demonstrating just how vulnerable our election was will prove just how crucial the SAVE America Act is. It is a lot harder to mess with elections when you ensure every ballot is legitimate and every vote comes from a verified American citizen.

We must go from “too big to rig” to “too secure to question.” You would think the simple truth about 2020, and commonsense efforts to secure future elections would be a must for any American. But that’s not the case.

When you see Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin claiming that if the SAVE America Act passes, it will be “hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election” … and Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez begging networks not to carry Trump’s address … the need for the SAVE America Act becomes even more obvious.

When you see counties like Fulton County, Georgia fight tooth and nail to keep investigators and the American people from seeing their ballots, when you see lawyers having their careers destroyed simply for representing people who questioned the results, the need for the SAVE America Act becomes desperate.

The curtain rises Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern.
