This report he says he’ll release makes me think of the _1776 Report_ his administration produced shortly before he left office. The report was supposed to present a history of the US more in keeping with the country’s “core principals,” as opposed to previous efforts which he claimed were tarnished with liberal/progressive falsehoods. The report was excoriated by historians. I read through it and it was mostly vacuous. You can read about the report here: > **[1776 Commission](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776_Commission)** > > The 1776 Commission, also nicknamed the 1776 Project, was an advisory committee established in September 2020 by then-U.S. President Donald Trump to support what he called "patriotic education". The commission released The 1776 Report on January 18, 2021, two days before the end of Trump's term. Historians overwhelmingly criticized the report, saying it was "filled with errors and partisan politics". The commission was terminated by the successive President Joe Biden on January Trump first s... ---

It occurred to me last night that perhaps this will be another in his money-making schemes, like the bibles. “I have all the unrefruited information here in my book that you can have for only $49.95. For another $20, I’ll throw in a MAGA hat.” ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > Has anybody ever suggested to him that he’s complaining about an event that happened in the past, that nothing is going to change nearly three years later, and if he wants to be president after the next election, he’d better look ahead, not backwards. But as I said above, he _can’t_ ‘look ahead’, because that way lies prison. He has to retroactively win the 2020 election, or he’s fucked. At this point, what happens in 2024 has very little to do with the real issues facing the US voters. It will all come down to the juries in his various trials. That’s not a great situation, but it’s the one the US has found itself in. ---

It seems we’re going straight from “Imma gonna show you something amazing” to “Wasn’t that the most amazing report you ever heard?” and skipping the actual showing of the report. In a month, the MAGAts will be fondly remembering how Trump devastated everyone with his incredible refutation. ---

I think Trump thinks that he can drag things on for ever and defeat anyone with counter suits. That may work with a contractor. Not so much with the Federal or State Government. The man is an idiot. ---

If Trump’s lawyers have their way, there will be no press conference and no REPORT. I’m curious whether he’ll find some excuse to cancel or, as he did with his thousands of other lies, just pretend he never said anything and let the whole thing quietly fade away. Or he might just be stupid enough to go ahead anyway. > **[Panicked Trump lawyers urging him to pull the plug on Georgia press...](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia-indictment-2663996948/)** > > Donald Trump's planned press conference next week, where he claims that he will provide evidence of 2020 presidential election fraud in Georgia, might be in doubt as his legal team is warning him it could cripple their efforts to defend him.According... ---

I think any lawyers left still working for Trump really ought to put forth an ultimatum: they’ll fire him as a client if he goes through with presenting this report, in whatever form or content. And follow through on it. Anything else is just a complete lack of self-respect. Besides, they’re probably close to the end of their cash retainer, and good luck getting any more from the guy. If they went to work on a handshake, they should look up the phrase “sunk cost”. ---

His lawyers are of course, completely right that this idea of Trump’s is ludicrous. At least from the point of view of the law (maybe not from the point of view of “riling up the goobers” or “grifting the rubes”) Likely, all this “report” (which is apparently being written by Liz Harrington, a Trump communications aide) will simply contain the same old debunked garbage conspiracy theories, and other crap that has already been tossed out of court. All this report is going to do from a legal standpoint is confirm that all of the charges against Trump are valid. That’s it. He’s basically going to present a confession. At a press conference. Really, if he goes through with this, his lawyers would indeed be well advised to walk. ---
