Per the Washington Post:
… The former president had been planning to speak at his private Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida on Thursday night.
According to a person familiar with the matter, Trump wanted to make a scene and deride reporters at the event but had been told repeatedly by his advisers that it could be the kind of coverage he doesn’t want. Trump also did not know exactly what he wanted his message to be, and his team was taken aback by how many reporters were planning on attending, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
“It was going to be awful, awful press,” a Trump adviser said. The adviser, who was not authorized to speak publicly about deliberations surrounding the event, said Trump had originally announced the news conference on a lark and without a plan in place.
A Trump spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
The Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was launched by a mob trying to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden’s electoral college win. It resulted in five deaths and injured about 140 members of law enforcement…
Big points for honesty, there!
Peter Navarro just laid out the entire January 6th coup plot and named names on national TV
Not exactly a “very stable genius” move on his part…
