While Republicans continue to empower Donald Trump and his continued dangerous claims about the election, the president offered a surprise speech on Wednesday that was immediately labeled by Twitter and Facebook as he spewed out lie after lie after lie. Frankly, it was embarrassing to watch as the desperate president claimed that it “may be the most important speech I’ve ever made” just before he unleashed his rant packed full of lies and conspiracy theories. It lasted for forty-six very long minutes.
Trump’s deceptive speech was called out.
Pres Trump in this 46 minute video he just released says this might be the most important speech he has ever given.
What’s clear is that it might be one of his most dishonest speeches he’s ever given. He’s making baseless claims that courts, the AG & DHS have said didn’t happen.

Wisconsin has already certified its vote.
But, Trump keeps saying he “miraculously” and “unexpectedly” lost when the mail in ballots were counted. He even brings out charts in this video showing how he lost.
But, it’s clear Biden supporters were more inclined to vote by mail. pic.twitter.com/keMc8PTVyr
