WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he “probably” will deliver his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination later this month from the White House.
“I'll probably do mine live from the White House,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” referring to his speech, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 27.about using the White House as the backdrop for the speech, Trump said, “We’re thinking about it.” “It would be the easiest from the standpoint of security,” he said. “It's a very expensive operation militarily, and law enforcement-wise the Secret Service is fantastic. But, you know, it's a big deal, and we're thinking about doing it from the White House because there's no movement, it's easy and I think it's a beautiful setting.”
Trump said part of the Republican National Convention will take place in person in Charlotte, N.C., where delegates will formally nominate him for president. Despite reports that said Republicans wouldn’t allow media into the convention to cover it, Trump said Wednesday, “We’re gonna let the press go in and watch it.”
At the end of the day where he does his lie filled speech from will make no difference. Everyone that sees the Don for the corrupt incompetent mobster he is will still see that. The WH wont lend an aura of competence! It hasnt yet and it won't now! so more fool him!
What’s your answer NBC!!! ?
Wouldn't it still mean that his campaign staff can't be on the WH property to assist with this event? His WH staff can't assist either. I can't wait to see him setting up the chairs, podium, mics, cameras...who am I kidding... he can still make Pence do all of that.
But Donnie realDonaldTrump , the Hatch Act does and will apply to EVERYONE else at the White House. For once, take the advice of people smarter than you (yes, there are actually a bunch of them) and do not do this stupid stunt
Skirting by legally still doesnt make it right, classless scum.
Oh HELL NO. I'm sorry realDonaldTrump , but you are NOT exempt from the Hatch Act. ConsequencesForTrump
If kids can go to school tRump can go to the convention!
Just in case anyone was still wondering, this man has the mind of a child. But this is distraction. Get back to COVID.
Didn’t know he was an attorney. Did he bestow himself with that degree also?
POTUS45 being very disingenuous when he cites finance as a reason for using WH
Somebody gas given this man too much power. He was recently told he is not above the law. 🤦🏽♀️
Mr President, you’ll get best ever ratings if you do it from the bunker. It would be the most watched ever, for sure.
Apparently, no broken laws or illegal acts can apply to Trump...until he’s not president. MwaHaHa.
Nixon: if the President does it, it is legal
The key buzzwords maybe probably could be
It is disgusting that he is even considering it. What a freaking lowlife!
Trump is DEFINITELY planning on resigning and having Pence pardon him after he loses in November.
Yeah ok: 'Except for the President and Vice President, all federal civilian executive branch employees are covered by the Hatch Act, including employees of the U.S. Postal Service.' That's presuming the President and Vice President have integrity, morals, and common decency.
I guess it won't be in the garden since it's being remodeled. Do you think he sits around or has a team sit around and figure out what will piss people off? It's a daily occurrence.
realDonaldTrump CNN MSNBC CBSNews ABC Mr Trump, the White House is not owned by the Trumps, the Republicans or the Democrats. It is owned by the people - all Americans. Do your reading of your “speech” from one of your Trump Towers, Trump Golf Clubs or Mar-a-Lago Club.
He’s so ignorant.
He still thinks he is above the law. It pertains to ALL! Resist
On January 20, 2021, when Joe Biden is sworn in as our 46th President, Trump can take his swamp to Florida. They love swamps in Florida!
When I worked for the feds we could not have a picture of Obama or Michelle when he running the first and second time not along campaign for him on our job site. What happened did they redo the hatch act.
Corruption Corruption Soooooomuch corruption going on
Obama did it
He is only correct because congress has decided, the Republican side, that if a president wants to do something they can. They're comfortable that if a Democrat were to act the same way, armed citizens would revolt. We have nuclear and biological weapons.
If Trump said it, that definitely means it’s illegal.
This is the peoples house, we own it. And as an owner of the house, I object to the 'tenant' using it as a prop.
Trump’s a crime wave faithless to the office of the President.
Since when do they care about the “hatch act” to begin with?
To him, correct, to everyone else, incorrect. So he will be doing all of the setting up, etc all by himself, no one can help him.
They don't call him moronDon for nothing- plus it really doesn't matter where he is, anytime they put a mic in front of him all that happens is a mini maga rally that most people laugh at and change the channel.
trumpIsACorruptLiar
A really bad idea.
Thinking he was above the law...Isn’t that what lead to his impeachment? I wonder if she were asked, would susancollins still think he learned his lesson.
Disgusting abuse of power, totally inappropriate and making a mockery of the constitution and basic electoral rules.
WTF.
The toddler is determined now that Nancy said he couldn't.
Honky realDonaldTrump McGuinty. White supremacist will always defend their territory. White people can’t be trusted with a real democracy. Democracy is just lip service for white people.
A stronger argument might be, 'There's a Hatch Act, but there's no real President.' TrumpCrimeSyndicate
There is one thing the responsible media can do. To not show a single second of it in any of their programs, and ignore it completely.
Go ahead have it on the lawn! WE will counter act with this!
Blow me over w a feather. He just has no conscience or even couth feigning that it is no big deal to do his GOP Nomination speech at WhiteHouse.
.
MowKremlin
PrussiaThird Clearly there are NO laws that pertain to the president. He is infallible and absolute in his authority, just as the founding fathers intended. Otherwise, they would have insisted upon some kind of system of 'checks' or 'balances'. Duh!!
LindaSN0228WI No ConsequencesForTrump ? GOPGenocide GOPComplicitTraitors GOPCorruptionOverCountry TrumpHasNoCredibility TrumpHasNoPlan DonsNextCon
If Republicans cared, they'd work with Democrats to pass a veto-proof bill that would stop something like this from happening.
I’m just going to make up shit whenever I have to answer a question. Maybe one day I can be president.
realDonaldTrump now you're telling us you'll save taxpayer money on security and travel? What the heck was Oklahoma all about? Do NOT use our White House for your political gains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump should use the event to announce his resignation and admission to a psych ward.
You'll be leaving the WH regardless- in January .
Because Bill Barr has told him he is above the law and he us going to run with that on everything. Day of reckoning coming please god
NBCNews =
'We knew you were going to try and pull this 'Hatch Act' bullshit, so we made sure to look up the law and walk that fine line. So I'm gonna shit all over tradition and ethics and the Office of the President anyway'
The law is coming. His 70+ years of skirting the law is ending.
What are the laws! stop covid
Using our mutual resources for partisan campaigning is allowed because he’s the president? Are you KIDDING me? Electing Trump was like vomiting on our shirt front and wearing it to a party anyway.
What? FBI raids?
No matter where he delivers his address it will be filled with sound and fury signifying nothing.
He really really thinks he's above any law.
Trump is the embodiment of small Richard energy
The hell there isn’t ! Fuck Donald trump!!
His hair is thinning out you can see his scalp through the comb over. Those hairloss pills not working. 😂
If Biden wins, will all of his speeches be delivered from his basement?
The White house is the American peoples house not Trump's house!! If the Republicans allow this then we finally know where they stand! Has to be illegal!
There is no presidential norm with this man - it’s his way or no way..
Your partisan is showing
Blurring the lines like democrats or different? Democrats encouraged protesting,rioting,looting and burning during the pandemic but will not give up their mail in voting scam they've invested millions in buying legislators to get it passed.
In other words, Covid has realDonaldTrump, our chickenhsit coward of a president, too scared toleave his little cubbie hole.
It's ILLEGAL to campaign on federal property How difficult is it to include the critical fact in your lede, NBC?
Times are not normal. Whatever Trump does u negatively report. Come on, at least try to act like a main stream news outlet.
No reason to let The blm antifa terrorist kill or injure voters. Trumps gonna win as it is so he knows its best to continue arresting then as fbi is closing in on the top leaders
No - for the health and safety of this nation and for the tens of thousands that would turn out in support of Trump, its best he reach the masses from live TV. His approve rating is higher than Obama at this same time.
If trump thinks that the virus is a hoax, why doesn’t he show up in public to give his acceptance speech in an enclosed auditorium?!?!
I imagine he never learned to stay inside the lines as a child, he's to old to learn now. BlurredLines
So he shouldn't have campaign events, but he also can not just accept a nomination form the White House? You should just go ahead and tell him what he can and can't do.
Isn’t this illegal to have a campaign event at the WH?😡😡😞
Oh Republicans, stand up and show us you can still lead - skip over trump and nominate someone else! Take action! Make this the most interesting election in history. Just do it!!!
Delivering his GOP convention speech from the White House will only underscore the urgent need to evict him.
'Blur' is too nice. It's corruption.
NBC bitches if he goes on the road and they bitch if he wants to stay off the road, NBC gets more disgusting every hour of the day!!!
But, JoeBiden accepting the Democrat nomination through a press release written by someone else is good to go.
Atleast he’s acting like there’s a pandemic happening.
He will be replaced. Stay focused 😷☝️
Trumps entire presidency has been a campaign rally. Not like he has done anything Presidential. 3 1/2 years of “reality TV”
But we can't wait to see the blimb in bed with his KFC.
the campaign for pedophile Joe Biden who does not articulate a single word and they write everything to him, 🇺🇲 | USA: The choreography of the hegemonic means to install in the population that Joe Biden does not attend the debates against Trump has begun 'CNN' to the front.
I know call the citizens of DC together in front of the WH and then order them gassed and attacked, walk across the street to the church and give your rambling nonsensical speech while Barr gives someone the knee at your feet
Presidential Norms =MSM Norms,GTFOH
Wondering if NBC will be airing this interview. Sounds like Biden2020 wants to debate. Why do Democrats liberalmedia not want him to. Americans should see a debate.
There certainly is a massive blur between journalism and activism!
It’s astounding how out of touch realDonaldTrump and the GOP are with what’s happening in the country. They have no plan, no answers for the spreading virus, no answer for the widening wealth gap, no answer for BLM issues, no answer for a collapsing economy...they’re a disgrace!
Good for the goose will be great for the gander. Some of these new norms will come in handy for the Dems. RNC DNC
I'm so old, I remember when the Hatch Act - and enforcement of it - was a thing.
Amadii It's illegal sweetie
Why not from Moscow? Riyadh?
Hatch Act
Imagine how loud the gop would yell is a Democrat were using the White House as a prop. There is no bottom!
Never follows rules. Vote him out. Vote Biden
It's worse than everyone thinks. I heard he had two scoops of ice cream once.

Yes, but this way, he can stay at the WH, do his nomination acceptance speech, while still being able to supervise the packing of his stuff in order to be ready to move out after Election Day. Like you said, a break from presidential norms, but with this president, makes sense
🇺🇸Trump2020🇺🇸
If that happens that trump delivers his speech from the White House, I vow to never watch, listen or read any news media that covers it, or reports it. Join me in making that commitment and putting pressure on the press.
Trump keeps openly admitting how he's going to steal the election even though he won't win. Looks like a crime in progress.
That is just wrong and should not be allowed!
From a prison cell?
He should just tweet it from the bathroom.
realDonaldTrump why not from a golf course...you're always there
Not competent to lick the White House floors
He's the incumbent you know
Smart, F the norms! He was elected to go against ‘norms’
There is no line anymore
realDonaldTrump. Doesn't deserve to lick the White House floor
I would expect nothing less form our American Authoritarian.
We are painfully aware you're the president, bro. Accept from Mar a Plague-O.
Trump is a petulant child who can't play with grown-ups. Sad.
