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

"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.

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.

Based on how Iran is going, I think Canada would kick our asses.

Dumbass starts a war with Canada and they burn the white house. Trump: "now they gotta pay for my ballroom! These losers are not too smart folks, not too smart."

Remember that Greenland is still a Danish protectorate, so we'd be getting into a shooting match with the entire EU, more than likely.

If Canada wants to start annexing states, I'm cool with that.

They will use this to force the SAVE act as an emergency measure.
It's their last try to shove this up our asses.

Or they will use it as an excuse to give up on the failed Iran negotiations and try a ground assault.

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.

In this case he's almost telling the truth. It's just that election was rigged by and for him with the help of Russia. There's a very clear Russian Tail on all three elections he was involved in.
astronaut_sloth@mander.xyz · 14 pts · 21d
No shit there were plans. Russia and China plan to interfere with every election the US has. The real question is if there is proof that they were successful.
Just saying there are plans is meaningless, but Trump and his toadies will trumpet this like his election denialism is actually justified. Utter and complete clown show.

Mueller report reported a similar thing. But this poor snowflake was in office so they postponed it... Never heard of again. Buried under the Epstein files. Also never heard of again. Because buried.... etc.

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.
kboos1@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 21d
I'd bet a paycheck that a foreign country has interfered or planned to interfere or influence elections since the end of WWII, probably as early as the first election.
If they prove that his first and second elections were interfered with and he still won; does that change anything? Do we get to undo all of his decisions? What does he plan to accomplish by pointing out that there was a security breach on his watch?
Fandangalo@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 21d
Likely used as justification for some sort of illegal change to how voting works or to further push the “SAVE” act.

How about they instead focus on the inconceivably vast statistical improbability of the 2024 election instead. Probably more domestic interference than foreign, but still.

I would laugh so hard if OpenAI or Claude came out after this was released and they said it had their fingerprints all over it, and after looking up the prompts they were used to help fabricate it all.
They're that dumb, it's totally possible.

Claude did back out contracts over a disagreement on military use and the government try to blacklist them, so you never know they might speak up if they were flat out lying to the people like that and they saw the fingerprints.
