White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shed light on an announcement President Donald Trump was expected to give on Wednesday night.
After Trump revealed that he would give a speech from the White House, Fox News asked Leavitt to detail "what it's all about."
"We greatly look forward to President Trump addressing the nation tomorrow night, 9 o'clock Eastern," the press secretary replied during a Tuesday interview. "I hope your audience will tune in, and Americans across the country will tune in to hear from their president as well about the historic accomplishments that he has garnered for our country over the past year. If you look at the security of our border, if you look at stopping Joe Biden's inflation right in its tracks, bringing down gas prices to the lowest level in five years."
"President Trump will be talking about what's to come," she continued. "The best is truly yet to come, as he often says."
"And so he'll be addressing the country about all of his historic accomplishments over the past year and maybe teasing some policy that will be coming in the new year, as we head into this Christmas season."
"Quite the tease," Fox News host Sandra Smith remarked.
It was not immediately clear that all broadcast networks would air Trump's remarks live.
Hang in there America---the best is yet to come! At least until after the midterms when Trump and Republicans go back to treating you like shit and don't deliver on ANY of their campaign promises.

Ford_Prefect
(8,610 posts)He's so far around the twist that I'll be suprised if he doesn't drool on himself. He has no capacity left for coherent thought or speech, no matter what's on the teleprompter.
My grandfather, my mother, and my mother in law all went this way. I was caregiver to all three and saw the changes up close and day to day.
DJT belongs in protective care, not the Oval Office. He should in no way at all be making policy decisions. Nor should Congress accept or acceed to his demands.
IMO day to day policies and action demands are coming from Reichsführer-SS Miller and other players in the Project 2025 hierarchy who have no standing to demand policy actions from Congress, the Pentagon, or the agencies, autopen notwithstanding.

DISCLAIMER***. If you or somebody you love is a Village Idiot, I am very sorry in advance. I grew up in the 50s and 60s in a very small town in rural Kansas. We had a Village Idiot, Town Drunk, several Know -It- Alls, numerous Busy Bodies and a Window Peeker.
Hope I haven't offended anyone.

I predict, with absolute confidence, that when the low ratings numbers come in, Trmp will claim it's all a hoax and whine and whimper like the spoiled man-baby he has been for his whole life.
