Republican Donald Trump’s campaign announced a “speech regarding the election” on Wednesday, sparking speculation that the presumptive nominee would announce his running mate.
Other than the date, a release from the campaign provided scant details about what the speech would be about. Trump said on Twitter his “big speech” actually would be about Democrat Hillary Clinton’s policies:
I will be making a big speech tomorrow to discuss the failed policies and bad judgment of Crooked Hillary Clinton.

NBC’s Katy Tur also reported confirmation the event would be his anti-Clinton speech that was delayed due to the mass shooting at an LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
After news of campaign manager Corey Lewandowski’s ouster, New York magazine reported the final nail in Lewandowski’s coffin was his answer when asked about his plan for the future of the campaign. According to that report, Lewandowski responded to a list of grievances from Trump’s children by saying he wanted to leak the news of Trump’s vice presidential pick. Shortly after, he was escorted out of the building by security.

2nd time’s a charmer!
Playing the press like a cheap euphonium.
I bet the Clinton campaign is giddy about the response they will be able to give and contrast her policies to Trump’s. e.g if Trump says anything about the economy, Clinton will mention how Moody’s said his policies will cause a long and deep recession. Clinton’s response won’t get as much media attention as Trump’s, but it would get a significant amount and it would be free.
I would not be at all surprised if Trump announces that "I do not NEED a VP because I am the GREATEST CANDIDATE so I am announcing that I will be MY OWN VP CHOICE. “Trump/Trump 2016”.
Hey, he can use the campaign slogan: “Double-Down on the Stupid!”
