He'll present nothing and his supporters will forget about this announcement.
His supporters don’t need good or correct answers; they just need answers- something to say at the rally to placate them until the next bright and shiny arrives to distract them again…
In two weeks, when no report has appeared, remind every single Trump supporter you encounter. Don't let them forget this. Keep hammering on it. Keep asking when the report is going to drop. Don't let them change the subject. Don't let them talk about anything else. No matter what they want, keep demanding the report or that they admit he lied to them to placate them.
Don't waste your time. They'll be able to provide any kind of "reasons".
Doesn't matter. Keep hammering on it. They will fail to back up those reasons, and keep pushing. Don't let them change the subject. Insist on fully addressing the issue before moving on.
You see, their whole tactic is to flood the communication pipeline with sewage, so nothing of actual substance gets resolved. Turn off the sewage spigot. Don't let yourself get baited into responding to new, off-topic crap they bring up. Stay focused and force them to stay focused, too.
Eventually, they'll either leave, knowing you're not susceptible to the sewage, or you'll force them to admit he didn't produce any "report" whatsoever, let alone an "irrefutable" one.
I don't know, I hear the parking lot at Four Seasons Total Landscape still has room for a podium.
Not all. Some will find something they can point at and definitively say this is what he meant. It probably won't be a report. It definitely won't "prove" him right. It might even prove beyond all reasonable doubt that he's guilty. But they will point to it and say that's it. And they will have won (in their heads), the argument.
He will present a bunch of folders full of blank paper, again.
