President Donald Trump teased an address to the nation to tale place on Thursday at 9:00 pm but did not provide any further details on the topic of or reason for the planned speech.
News of the expected remarks came in a post to Truth Social which read: “President Trump will be making a Speech to the Nation on Thursday evening, at 9 P.M. Eastern. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Unlike most of his missives on that social media platform, the post was written in the third person and did not indicate that he had authored or posted it himself.
The White House did not respond to a request for information on the planned remarks, including the topic or reason for them, except to send The Independent a link to the same Truth Social post that lacked that information.
