Before President Donald Trump uttered his first sentence Thursday night about his bombshells [1] concerning the 2020 election, most of the Trump-hating media had already written the script. Yes, before Trump even took the microphone, the election deniers on the left had already written off his claims as long-debunked “conspiracy theories.” They ignored the fact that he had declassified documents [2] uploaded to the White House website and brought receipts to the argument – and they will continue to do so.
And after the speech [3], the leftist media had all of their dishonest “fact checkers” tell us that Trump was lying – and their Democratic politicians like Michigan Governor Whitmer and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson put out statements just minutes after his speech about how Trump’s information was “debunked” long ago. No, they couldn’t be bothered to look at the documents and comment on them. They just commented on Trump. That’s always been their way.

Donald Trump’s speech was nothing but another desperate attempt to subvert our democracy. He sees the midterm losses coming and wants to destroy trust in our elections to cling to power. We will not let him. We will fight. He will lose. The people will win. pic.twitter.com/5MWueb3oVn [6]

This is a 25th Amendment moment.
I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil.
Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him.

NBC called him a liar. So did CNN and much of the rest of the left media, along with elected Dems and Democrat voters who faithfully echo their narrative.
Donald Trump is spending his evening spewing lies from six years ago instead of lowering costs for you right now.

No, President Trump, you can’t spread lies about an election you lost to try to interfere with the next one.
Here in Michigan we know the truth — our elections are secure, safe and accurate.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who thinks trump should move on from the election lies already, it’s not like he didn’t already admit he lost to Joe Biden, way back in 2024:
“He beat us by a whisker.” 👀

The Daily Mail, laughably, decided to write about a totally different angle – that the president sounded congested during his speech. WTF? Who cares?! Maybe he ingested some of the Canadian wildfire smoke like the rest of us.
The left, who has been spending disinformation, misinformation and malinformation about Trump since he first ran for office are all over the internet and social media right now desperately trying to assure everyone that our elections are safe and secure. THEY ARE NOT.
Trump released declassified docs last night about China hacking and stealing 220 million voter registrations. He released docs about our insecure voting systems that are able to be manipulated by other enemy countries. He also said that his investigators had found at least 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote across several states. You know – stuff that Dems have told us never happened.
And Trump told us about Democratic-aligned GBI Strategies in Michigan submitting fraudulent voting registrations, a story [14] first made public by the Gateway Pundit in 2023.
Maybe the best part of Trump’s speech was that it was short. It was less than a half an hour – and most of it was on point and from the teleprompter. At the beginning for the first few minutes, he told us all how much better the country has been under his leadership and he had a laundry list of accomplishments. Then he went right into the information about the election problems in 2020.
The reaction to all this? Perfectly predictable. Never happened. Trump is lying. Trump is worried about losing the midterms. Trump is trying to undermine confidence in the election systems. Dear Dems: that ship has sailed. We have NO confidence in our elections systems. And every time Democrats oppose election integrity measures like the SAVE Act, they only reinforce those doubts. Because of their actions, we know that our fears are justified and they convince us every day that they have something to hide.
