- President Donald Trump has insisted his primetime speech Thursday night got “great reviews” despite network boycotts and major backlash.
- “Great reviews on speech last night. Big audience. Pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!!! Thank you!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning.
- He claimed in the address that China carried out “the largest compromise of election data in history” beginning with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, just one of numerous schemes he claims “deep state” actors within the American government concealed from him.
- China’s Foreign Ministry said Trump’s allegations had no factual basis and reiterated that the country adheres to the principle of non-intervention in other state’s affairs and had no interest in influencing U.S. elections.
- Former national security officials and Democrats also pointed out that the president’s speech was filled with falsehoods and exaggerations and major news networks, including NBC, ABC and CNN, refused to air it, leading to calls from Trump for network licenses to be revoked.
