Donald Trump says he is going to give an address on prime time tv on December 17, 2025. Are you going to watch to see what he says?

Exactly. It won’t be interesting. It won’t be truthful. It won’t be funny. It won’t be sane. So, I’ll pass.

I’ll probably opt for something more enjoyable. Maybe a colonoscopy. Or having a tooth pulled.

As I find Trump to be a reprehensible, offensive, sadistic person who lies for the pleasure of lying, and who can’t speak or read at a junior high level, I will not be tuning in.

I’d rather spend the evening ironing and folding my feet.

Zero reason to listen to him, I’ll read about it on bluesky or here.

Guesses:

  1. SMO in Venezuela
  2. Some “peace plan” for Ukraine

I’m afraid it will be about war against Venezuela.

Or he’s going to put Military in every major city now.

But I will learn about it here, most likely. I certainly won’t listen to him. He sickens me.

It’s the latest plans for his fucking triumphal arch.

There’s always a chance that he’s going to announce his resignation, on grounds of ill health.

There is no chance of Trump ever saying so.
In such a case, Trump goes away loudly crying about how unfair life has always been, and about how he is a model of health.

Edited: will I watch? Not in realtime, I’ll catch it on socials ad circle back to the highlights if I need to hear it.

It’s 9PM, it’s got to be big. Trump is a TV guy, he understands what 9PM means. This won’t be like the 1st Trump admin when the FBI would announce a big press release at 3PM and turns out to be they busted 6 Canadians running a counterfeit postage stamp ring.

My doomer money says he’s rolling out his whole “fentanyl is WMD” and “all critics are now terrorists” messaging. I think he understands that his distractions are getting less effective and he’s got to (a) start menacing people more directly, and (b) actually start bagging/disappearing some high-profile critics to really make that fear sticky in people’s minds.

So the “fentanyl is WMD” plan serves the purpose of unlocking bigger military spectacle, and a different population of people to harass, and “all critics are now terrorists” is self-explanatory.

Both of these are reportedly already in the pipeline, so the only question is if 9PM tomorrow is when they drop.

He’s an incoherent liar, as well as a malignant monster. I never bother listening to him. I could just replace everything he says with LIE-HATE-RAPE-STEAL-HURT-RUIN without missing any actual information, and at least then I wouldn’t have to hear him gibber.

One quarter will be lies about how great the economy is doing.

One quarter will be lies about how he never met Jeffrey Epstein.

One quarter will be lies about how everything is Joe Biden’s fault.

The remaining quarter will be the mystery topic. Nobody, including Trump, knows what he’ll talk about in this segment. Will it be snakes? Will it be windmills? Will it be circles? Will it be stairs? Will it be tennis? These are all topics Trump has wandered into during past speeches.

Not a chance. If I want to hear whining and temper tantrums, I’ll go see the grandkids.

That’s pretty mild. A polyp can be benign, and the anus serves a very important purpose. I propose “cancerous infected appendix” as suitable nomenclature.

As to this broadcast, it’s bad enough listening to him and watching his face, add to that the breathless commentators and analysts who will follow him that I can’t stand, and that makes it a hard pass.

I hope he’s going to toss a coin. I’d tune in to see that. Otherwise, I’m off to schedule that colonoscopy.

This actually seems likely to me. It’s a combination of his ever-increasing incoherence (when he wasn’t great to start with) and the fact that shit is approaching the fan. If he can spin it as noble self-sacrifice while simultaneously throwing Vance into said shit, he might go for it, especially if he has been promised some sort of immunity / pardon.

Alternatively, the arrest of a prominent Democrat on a treason charge.

Really really unlikely, IMO. His ego, and love of power, will keep him from every willingly stepping down, and his delusion about his own perfection will keep him from ever publicly admitting that he has a serious health condition.

My Trump Big News bingo card:

  • War (or something like it) with Venezuela
  • Trumped-up (unfortunate pun intended) charges being brought against political opponents
  • Fake news about a booming economy
  • Promise of checks being sent to Americans from tariff windfalls
  • Announcement of a “TrumpCare” health thing being in the works (nothing will come of it, of course)

I’d like to but I’ll be busy sticking pins in my eyes. And ears.

The “peace President” is going to announce an ultimatum to Venezuela, shortly followed up by a military attack.

He will drift off-script and attack Rob Reiner, Ukraine, his Chief of Staff, and the Democrats. At some point he will circle back about his health plan to replace ACA (how many promises since 2016?), mention how great the First Lady is, and congratulate Jr on his marriage announcement.

Or maybe the world will get lucky and we all will watch him suffer apoplexy …

I read about him rather than listen to him, so I’ll read about it the next morning. I assume it is some loud distraction from the files release,
