Trump to hold news conference from Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 6

Former President Trump announced he would hold a news conference from Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 6, the one-year anniversary of the riot at the U.S. Capitol that the former president himself was accused of inciting.

"Why isn’t the Unselect Committee of highly partisan political hacks investigating the CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?" Trump said in his statement Tuesday announcing the news conference.

-- skip --

Earlier this week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that her office intended to hold a "prayerful vigil" and a discussion among historians on the upcoming anniversary of the attack.

(Will it really be a 'news conference' where he will take and answer questions -- or just another rant?)

televising a news conference - for someone who is no longer a public official and does not publicly demand such coverage.

Yes double down on your association with the insurrection by televising another unhinged rant on its anniversary. Brilliant!

As the man is incapable of shutting the hell up. He'll just keep beating this dead horse into the ground, while incriminating himself even more.

Stand up and stand by = his orange ass thrown in prison.
Good people on both sides = his orange ass thrown in prison.

He's got to be held liable for instigating violence.

He can talk to the Select Committee voluntarily.

FOX will be there sucking up to him, as usual. The other networks should report on it if there is anything newsworthy. Otherwise, leave him with FOX.

Driving into work.

I really hope the media does NOT cover it. Leave it to newsmax, oann, fox.

This is a day of mourning - and that mother fucker caused it.

Pelosi has a day of recognition planned - and THAT is what matters. Not what this fucking piece of shit drips out of its asshole mouth.

if the advertising revenue projections suck.

Remember, that sorry assed sack of orange shit only does things for money- if this looks like a loser for a network, and subsequently him- he'll back out and find a way to blame Biden for "not giving him air time," or some silly garbage his cult followers will believe.

I suspect it will either be canceled, or turned into a local rally somewhere in Bumfuck Whereever the Hell it's over 78 degrees.
