Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a “conclusive report” proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to “a complete exoneration” of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.

    Holy shit he actually said “the report will come out next week”. Like his healthcare solution. Or his infrastructure plan. It’s all coming out next week.

    Amazing how he “suddenly” has proof of the fraud that could have made him President.
    He… lost it until now?
    Did he finally find it while looking for more TOP SECRET documents in a box in another bathroom?
    He will literally open his mouth, commit more crimes, and be in more trouble. I hope he gets himself jailed!

    Drinking Game: Every time he says “perfect phone call” you drink a shot.

    He’s had 3 years and only threatens to show his hand weeks before receiving what could be a life sentence for himself?

      It’s a ploy, he wants to get censured so he can claim the evil libs won’t let him share the truth, so his base is riled up enough to act again.

      And what, exactly, has he faced in terms of consequences for anything during his 77 years on this rock? There is pretty much zero chance he sees any jail time and he’s well aware of this. So what has he got to loose? Might as well stir up shit in prep for a Jan 6 v2 in 2025.

      He’s already set up his base to think the charges are fraudulent. Any additional charges will just compound their irrational beliefs.

    Dope! Let’s do it in court where if you’re right we can restore you to your rightful office and if you’re lying you’ll go to prison for the rest of your life.

    I’m willing to bet money the only reason he is doing this is because the judge told him to make his defense in court, not social media.

    The “proof” going to be one of his indictment papers with his name crossed out and Biden’s written beside it in red crayon.

    So he couldn’t present the evidence in court to exonerate himself, but it magically appears after the fact for a press conference… Interesting

    I could hold a press conference about how the world is flat and not round but that will not make it so. Trump is such a fucking moron. Even his Wharton professors thought so.

    We’re literally watching a civil war / military takeover in realtime getting set.

    The plan is to make it a week from today, so he can’t be jailed before then for violating his court duties without Republican’s claiming it’s proof Biden is using the court system to silence him.

    Then after he announces rubbish on Monday, he’ll instead claim he’s being silenced for revealing “the truth”.

    The only move that can be taken to counter this would be to move to trial sooner / almost immediately or for the normal republican’s to make a signed letter acknowledging that trump is a psychopath

    I’m an Aussie, but I wish you guys all the best dealing with this dictator-wannabee (and ya’ll welcome here in Australia to counter the growing nonsense we’re seeing Trump spread here too).

      It’d be great if little to nobody showed up. Any serious reporter wouldn’t want to go. Can you imagine how much drivel is gonna spew out at that event? It’s a better venue for a comedian or comic reporter like Jordan Klepper as long as Klepper could ask pertinent questions. Remember, Orange Con Don didn’t like doing press conferences as prez and he rarely answered questions. Answering those questions is hard you know. You just gotta change the subject and ramble long enough that his supporters don’t even know what’s being talked about anymore. Anyway, he’s got snacks to eat and TV to watch. You know, stuff like OAN and Playboy.
