Just trying to stir up trouble before the election, like usual. Remember when "The Caravan" was coming to America, THOUSANDS of blood-thirsty south-of-the-border thugs coming to rape, pillage, and murder?

Then the election happened, and he never mentioned it again, and The Caravan just melted away.

This time the boogeyman is the Chinese, because he can't blame the real problem, Russia, because he KNOWS they were involved, and can implicate him.

I think we should do deep investigations into the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, leave no stone unturned, spare no expense, and make it all public, and find out who REALLY has been manipulating our elections.

Oh, and do a Federal investigation into Florida elections while we're at it. They've been 100% rigged for years.

Yep, the most fundamental grift for Trump is converting the credibility of the office of the presidency or the country in general into credibility for his money or power scheme of the moment. That's what this primetime address was.

In the future, primetime presidential addresses (under Trump but also after) will have less credibility, because that broadcast spent some portion of it.

And if course his goal is to spend all the credibility of the presidency and US on himself before he dies, because that's just good narcissist math.
