      I watched it.

      • he sounds like he’s dying. His throat sounds like death.
      • he does this little shoulder dance frequently, it’s odd.
      • he started off saying American are beautiful and they have better jobs than ever right now
      • it took him 5 minutes to get to the main point about elections
      • he claimed China has been hacking our systems in a non-auditable manner since 2018.
      • he claimed China stole something like 10M (100M?) voter registration details, but didn’t mention what China is doing with them.
      • he claimed that our election system has a lot of integrity issues that make it untrustworthy, but that he plans to resolve them.
      • he said he plans to (1) send every state a list of voters to deregister, (2) prevent mail-in ballots, and (3) require proof of citizenship to vote.
      • he urged everyone to reach out to their representatives and urge them to pass the SAVE America Act.

      Oh, and he claimed this information was being declassified with the documentation available on whitehouse.gov.

      He’s trying to erode confidence in the election, get a bill passed, and prevent ease of voting.
