Pete Hegseth announced on Wednesday that the US military will test soldiers over thirty years old for low testosterone. But judging by President Trump’s pallid performance last night during his election integrity speech, that testing should commence with him. Trump appeared to be a spent force, slurring many of his words and rehashing old grievances ad nauseam. His principal complaint: starting in 2019, China engaged in machinations to make it look like ‘your president wasn’t so hot’.
But last night, Trump himself failed to bring the heat. The American left went into overdrive, fretting that the President would fire an opening salvo to seize control of the midterm elections in November. In fact, he only shot blanks. The most he could issue was a plaintive plea for Congress to pass the Save America Act, a voting Bill that Trump has proclaimed will ‘guarantee’ a Republican victory in the midterms. ‘Congress must pass the Save America Act,’ Trump said. ‘How easy is that to do – unless you want to cheat? The only reason you wouldn’t do it is you want to cheat.’ So far, the controversial Bill has gone nowhere.
Trump is in deep waters at home and abroad
The most animated that Trump became yesterday was when he threatened to revoke the licenses of ABC and NBC News for failing to broadcast his speech. But even the President’s most loyal network issued what amounted to a thumbs-down verdict on his speech: ‘Fox News has not seen the evidence yet and is not in a position to evaluate the accuracy of the President’s statement and claims.’
