A journalist pointed out that Trump's speech revealed what angered him much more than election meddling.
During an episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, executive editor Hugh Dougherty looked back at Trump's Thursday night speech on election security. Trump had touted it as a "primetime" speech earlier in the week, and what left him fuming more than election meddling was how it was snubbed by major television networks like ABC and NBC.
"That's the thing that really angered him," Dougherty said. "He wanted this speech to be on prime time. There's nothing he loves more than being on prime time. There's nothing he loves more than ratings, and he was boycotted. Effectively, he was switched off."
Trump showed that he was enraged by the snub more than anything because "the rest of the speech was, if I'm honest, a bit low T," Dougherty said.
"He was raspy," Dougherty said. "He was not quite slumped, but he was not standing energetically, and he went through a whole lot of grievances."
Dougherty noted that Trump did seem "very sore" about losing a presidential election. "He's very sore about what happened six years ago," Dougherty said. "And he became president again, but he can't get over that. He lost."
By contrast, "the most alive bit of this speech on Thursday night was when he demanded that they face revenge for not showing their speech," Dougherty said, referring to how Trump complained that networks such as ABC and NBC were "part of a plot."
Trump suggested that ABC and NBC should lose their broadcast licenses for not airing his remarks, reporting by The Daily Beast noted, adding that the White House Rapid Response Team even went after members of the press for their coverage afterwards.
Trump biographer Michael Wolff argued First Lady Melania Trump has become an unnervingly unpredictable force within the White House that administration insiders cannot manage or predict.
In his Substack newsletter HOWL, Wolff writes, "Of all the self-dealing among Trump family members, Melania's moves—not just about money, but about calling attention to herself—are seen as most disturbing to the White House, and most in danger of putting her on a collision course with the president."
According to the Daily Beast, Wolff claimed the couple barely speaks and maintains little pretense that Melania resides at the White House full-time, spending most time in New York.
He characterized Melania as "a wild card that he can't seem to control or even game."
“Almost nobody near Trump—including Trump himself—knows Melania’s moves until she makes them,” Wolff writes.
Financial disclosures show Melania earned $10.71 million from her documentary despite it earning only $16.7 million worldwide, plus roughly $521,000 from her memoir.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle dismissed Wolff, cursing him off.
Governor Kathy Hochul told the Wall Street Journal that New York is temporarily pausing new hyperscale AI data centers (50 MW+) while it writes rules to protect ratepayers, communities and infrastructure, and said existing facilities and smaller projects can continue.
