There are always multiple possibilities.

He hyped this up so that the entire world would tune in: people who don't watch rallies and who might now start to see differently and ask questions...or be open to what's coming down the pike without freaking out.

Perhaps the focus was drawn to himself as a distraction from some other mission being carried out.

Was that the actual Trump?

Was this one of those "Make the opposition expend ammo" things?

I wholeheartedly and entirely reject the idea that we have to endure foreign interference in our elections any more, like ever. Clearly that infiltration goes way beyond just elections, but seriously...how can we even have a discussion about the next elections without addressing what's right in front of our eyes?

Which brings me to my next thought...Trump can't be the one who pushes the military button in the public eye. Maybe his speech was an activation, outlining all the fuckery (that we've all heard multiple times in rallies) so that literally anyone who breathes would wonder why it hasn't been addressed yet.

A tenderizing speech, as it were. And I'm assuming that he's putting his trust in all of us BIG TIME to keep the faith. The tenderizing is a prep for what will shortly be unfolding.

This was just a smokescreen.
