We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:
— He openly laid groundwork to challenge the midterms. He claimed our elections were "compromised," clearly setting up the justification to tamper with results before a single vote is counted.
— He said he'll "correct vulnerabilities" in our elections. Translation: he told you exactly what he plans to interfere with.
— He contradicted himself on China in real time. He first claimed China was "working to influence" and "undermining confidence" in him, then said he was doing a "great job" with them back when he made the claim. He couldn't keep his own conspiracy straight.
— He claimed China rigged the 2020 election, this time by getting journalists to write bad stories about him, because China supposedly wanted Biden to win since Trump was "wise to them."
— He said they found "burn bags" from the Obama Administration full of supposedly incriminating material, without ever saying what was actually in them.
— He said he needs "urgent measures" to stop our elections from being "hacked," citing Maduro's rigged machines in Venezuela in 2020 as his "evidence."
— He attacked networks for not airing him live, accusing them of being "part of the conspiracy to rig elections" and suggesting they should lose their broadcast licenses.
— He announced he wants to seize voter data from states he's deemed "vulnerable" ahead of the midterms.
This was a sitting president telegraphing, step by step, how he plans to undermine the 2026 midterms with egregious lies and conspiracy theories.

This was another deranged dictator speech from Trump. No evidence was presented that votes were changed in 2020. The only election fraudster is Trump. He tried to overturn a free and fair election. My reaction to this dangerous speech:
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
Rohde: If any of this is true, the person who's in the most trouble here should be John Ratcliffe.
So during Donald Trump's first term, John Ratcliffe allowed China to get, you know, 200 million voter records. Those voter records are public
Warner: The irony of this is most of the accusations he's making about 2018 and 2020, Donald Trump's appointees were in charge of the intelligence community. Why didn't they find any of this so-called allegations?
