Trump's Election-Fraud Claims Fall Flat in Prime-Time Speech
The New Yorker analyzes President Donald Trump's prime-time speech on election fraud, which he hyped as containing 'really, really big news.' However, the declassified but heavily redacted documents he presented failed to deliver any true revelations, drawing comparisons to Pam Bondi's bogus Epstein binders. The article notes that Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37%, with only 15% strongly approving, and his handling of the economy and the Iran war also receives low marks. Trump accused China of acquiring 220 million U.S. voter files, but these files are often publicly available, and intelligence assessments found no evidence of tampering with election results. He also claimed 278,000 noncitizens are registered to vote, but evidence of actual noncitizen voting is minimal, with the conservative Heritage Foundation finding only 77 instances since 1999. The piece characterizes Trump's speech as a bait-and-switch aimed at laying groundwork to contest potential November losses.
