I have zero idea what he plans to lie to us about this evening.

If he takes questions:

I suspect he will be asked about the passing of Herman Cain due to the coronavirus, following Cain’s presence at his Tulsa, OK, rally on June 20th, 2020.

My friend Herman Cain, a Powerful Voice of Freedom and all that is good, passed away this morning. Herman had an incredible career and was adored by everyone that ever met him, especially me. He was a very special man, an American Patriot, and great friend. I just got off…

…the phone with his amazing wife Gloria, daughter, Melanie, and son Vincent to express my deepest condolences to the entire family. @FLOTUS Melania and I loved Herman Cain, a great man. Herman, Rest In Peace! pic.twitter.com/GNUf5jHjX0

I suspect much focus will be paid to his thoughts that the election might need to be postponed following his tweet from early Thursday.

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

I suspect he’ll be asked about the historic drop in the GDP.

A 1% drop in GDP is a recession. We called a 6.5% drop in GDP "The Great Recession". In 1929, we called a 15% drop in GDP "The Great Depression". What the fuck do we call a 33% drop in GDP?

I suspect he’ll be asked about the funeral of Congressman John Lewis, specifically if he heard former President Obama attack the current admin without actually naming them.

In his eulogy for Rep. John Lewis, former President Obama addresses the state of voting in the US on the eve of a presidential election, saying "people in power are attacking our voting rights with surgical precision" https://t.co/UuZqqFQqq9 pic.twitter.com/bZLSC0wfkc

or maybe, he’ll be asked about former President Bush’s offering his thoughts on the passing of Lewis.

Live Feeds.

The White House.

The Hill.

As always the Boy Wonder will most likely be late to his own attention whoring event, which he called at the last minute on Thursday.
