he might instead use the occasion to give a "major speech"

Oh, goody. I wonder what the theme might possibly be?

*** Megyn Kelly Verbally Urinates on Dummkopf Trumpf's Freedom 250 Event ***

"This has been a disaster from start to finish. I tried to find somebody defending it. I went to the Republicans, who I follow on X, and trust me, I follow thousands of them. They were all ripping it, too. No one was impressed. It may sound mean, but it's true.

"No one was impressed. Everyone thought this was kind of a joke. I think the artists saw the universal reaction to this lineup as, I'm sorry, pathetic. It was a very negative reaction across the board, and they said, Oh my god, I can't be a part of that.'

"Everyone's looking at each other thinking you're the one they're talking about when they say it's pathetic, you're the one they're talking about when they say it's lame, not me, and I can't be associated with you losers."

If wishes were horses, Trump could "plan" something other than a complete effup. If, as I say, wishes were horses. But they aren't, and he just can't.

Surely he can find some law they may have broken and have them arrested.
