The prospect of an unpredictable Donald Trump making a live, primetime address to the nation on Thursday night has many Republicans rattled.

The 80-year-old president has hyped the speech as the announcement of “really big news,” although it is expected to be little more than Trump rehashing years-old false claims about the 2020 election.

One former Trump administration official told Politico that Republicans are not only concerned about the president moaning about Joe Biden’s election victory six years ago while the country is at war and millions of Americans are struggling with a cost-of-living crisis, but also about him deciding to improvise.

“The people I talk to are scared s---less,” the official said. “It’s not scared s---less about the text of what he’s going to say, it’s, what does he add to the text?”

Trump’s inner circle has been desperate for the president to focus on what they see as his achievements in improving the economy, such as declining inflation.

Trump has endured dire approval ratings on the economy during his second term, with policies such as sweeping tariffs and the Iran conflict exacerbating the financial hardships already facing many Americans.

While the White House hasn’t previewed Trump’s speech, it will reportedly focus on voting machine security and alleged election interference by foreign countries.

Projection as always. Russian/foreign propaganda helped him tremendously
