President Trump, showman that he is, just dropped a serious teaser for what he’s calling one of the biggest announcements of his presidency. The announcement is set for Thursday in prime time.
Speaking during a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, ahead of the highly anticipated address to the nation, Trump described it as “really, really big news” and stressed a core truth that has been central to his message for years.
“Without free and fair elections, you don’t have a country," he told the press.
The President was responding to a reporter's inquiry speculating that the forthcoming announcement would be about "election machines and integrity."
Trump confirmed it would address the aforementioned topic, along with a couple of other items.

Best Way to Honor Lindsey Graham: Pass the SAVE America Act Now
Given the direct quote about “free and fair elections,” the best bet is that Trump will use Thursday’s address to ramp up his push for the SAVE America Act.
The Act is the President’s top legislative priority. It is a key election-integrity measure that requires proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. It is common sense.
Anyone serious about securing our elections against the kind of wildly anomalous results we saw in 2020 — including Joe Biden’s record 81-million-vote total — as well as the many instances of attempted or successful fraud documented on these very pages, should also treat it as a top priority.
“We can only lose the midterms if we allow ourselves to lose the midterms if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise,” Trump warned previously. "But if we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election for a hundred years."
GOP leadership is officially planning to add the SAVE America Act to the National Security-State spending bill this week.

Speaking of 2020, MS NOW is claiming that Trump will use the speech to suggest "that newly declassified intelligence reports reveal a foreign nation’s plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election."
Outside election interference was an obsession of the Democrats and the media not too long ago. It was all they cared about between 2015 and 2020. Now it's simply not a thing.
Expect President Trump to frame the necessity of the SAVE America Act and concerns about the integrity of our elections as an urgent national security issue.

As for additional topics to be addressed, Axios is framing Thursday as a "potpourri" speech.
Trump might delve into the ongoing situation with Iran, especially amid recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. And don't rule out the President touting the success of his Trump Accounts program or recent stock market highs and job numbers.
Whatever Trump drops on Thursday, America will be watching. It will be big. Really big.

I can’t resist, please Lord, if you will it, let it be that ALL the uniparty has been caught stone cold, red handed cheating and will actually be removed from office and face real justice and we can move forward with actual fair elections!
I am going for it all, no need to handicap God :)
However, Lord if it is not your will, please give me joy and peace accepting your will as a faithful servant and the eagerness to embrace and serve under your guidance in all things.
He won three times. A record.
FDR won 4...............
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States four times, in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944. He remains the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms.
so very Amen
Yes, but, in a democracy everyone votes.
Since the ball-less Thune refuses to act, I'm sure the democrats already have meetings ongoing with Elizabeth MacDonough to shut down any aspect of the SAVE act in the bill.
When Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, she blamed Vlad Putin of Russia for helping Trump win the presidency. She claimed that Trump was a Putin puppet.
While it’s true that Russia spent $100,000 on Youtube video ads to disparage the democrats, it was not a factor in Clinton losing. Many black men voted for Trump who previously voted for Obama. She lost fair and square.
To a sociopath, there is no such thing as “...lost fair and square.”.............
I can't disagree more. WE MUST put an end to all the fraud and restore fair elections. THIS is the time to act!
IF his Thursday address gives specific and credible evidence of election fraud in 2020, THEN Congress needs to PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
I don't want to ever again doubt the authenticity of our elections. This is not the Congo, or Venezuela.
I believe the two term limit was installed directly as a result of FDR.
We didn’t want a king.
...and WHY was evidence of election fraud ever “classified” in the first place?
( I know : Democrats )
Lord,
You’re Driving the Bus...
I Just ring the Bell.
.
All Glory to God
1. Do we accept Biden's EO's, pardons, signed legislation as legitimate?
2. Are Biden judges considered invalid?
3. Do those who were fraudulently put into their positions step down, their rulings nullified, or forcibly removed, etc.?
In a different era, in the case of undeniable proof, those would be grounds for a shooting war, with 'lets talk about this' thrown to the side (See Battle of Athens)
Lib trolls need not respond. Your opinions are worthless.
Butler PA,
Is the DS solution.
FDR probably cheated like hell just like his satanic protege landslide Lyndon.
The truth is that we don’t have a democracy. We have an elite overclass that controls everything who lets us vote so we think we have a say in those who lord power over us.
So, to your point, nothing they did will be undone. we just have to accept that our ‘betters’ get to install whoever they want.
Just like foreigner barry obama was allowed to usurp the white house despite not being a NBC.
These sicko elites all laugh about it behind closed doors.
I pray Trump does a better job than Mike Lindell did on this.
Including the dead and ILLEGALS.
