Former President Donald Trump said he will do his own live fact check and play games with President Biden’s SOTU.
What is Trump doing during Biden’s SOTU?
Trump posted on Truth Social:
I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow evening we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. I will correct, expeditiously, all inaccurate statements, especially those relating to Border and his arming of the Department of Justice, FBI, District Attorneys and District Attorneys, to prosecute his political opponent, M.E. (something never done first in this country) !). We have already done it once with enormous success: breaking all records. It is important that the country gets the TRUTH!
No one will actually let Trump loose on live television during the State of the Union. One persistent positive outcome of the Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News lawsuit is that conservative cable news networks are wary of being sued, so they are much more careful in dealing with Trump.

Trump’s live play-by-play will be on Truth Social, which will likely be run by his campaign, with some rants posted by the former president.
The whole setup has the potential for disaster and comedic gold.
Donald Trump doesn’t know who the current president is most of the time, so thinking he’ll be able to fact-check Joe Biden or perhaps Barack Obama borders on delusional thinking.
Biden is set to deliver a State of the Union address that will focus on the needs of the American people, such as reducing costs and improving health care.
Trump is more interested in attacking prosecutors who brought criminal cases against him and trying to avoid incarceration.
The state of our union is strong, while Donald Trump remains weak.
