{{Cquote|[[Trump]], in the midst of a rapidly [[escalating]] [[war]] with [[Iran]], had nothing better to do on Thursday night than launch a verbal attack on [[China]] for alleged [[United States Presidential Election, 2020|meddling in the 2020 election]]. Now '''let me state up front that I believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, but it was not because of foreign influence. It was good old fashioned [[ballot stuffing]].''' In fact, Trump’s own [[DOJ]] and the [[FBI]] have been gathering evidence in [[Georgia]] that is likely to confirm that Georgia [[fraud|defrauded]] Trump. But that’s another story for another day.
Tonight, Thursday, Trump gave a roughly 30-minute primetime address from the East Room and made the following claims:
'''Voter file theft.''' Trump said voter registration files in 18 states, totaling 220 million voter files, were “bought, stolen, or hacked by China,” and that China “carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history.” The files, he said, included names, addresses, and political affiliations. He called it an “unprecedented [[election]] [[security]] nightmare.” He attributed the [[intelligence]] to a White House task force and the [[President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board]].
'''Ballot manufacturing.''' He claimed Chinese meddling activities “included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots” for [[Biden]].
'''[[Cover-up]].''' He said the “[[deep state]]” worked to hide the “extent of China’s sinister election meddling,” and that the [[intelligence community]] did not previously inform the [[White House]] or [[Congress]] about the hack.
'''Motive.''' He claimed China did not want him to win reelection — “They fought like hell not to have a Donald Trump to win” — and suggested Chinese meddling put Biden in office.
'''Machines.''' He said forthcoming documents would show foreign nations and groups had the ability to modify the behavior and information collected by electronic voting machines. ...
What Trump did tonight is one of the most ghastly examples of [[propaganda]] designed to stir up enmity.
At a time when the [[US]] is utterly dependent on China for [[rare-earth mineral]]s Trump decided it was a good time to insult them and threaten them.}}
