National emergency incoming?



@realDonaldTrump I will be making a major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 P.M., live from the @WhiteHouse.

EDIT: Maybe not?

I wonder if it'll be any more substantive than the last "major announcement" which just wasted everyone's time.

@MajorCBS 15m15 minutes ago More Two seniors sources tell me @realDonaldTrump will not announce national emergency in Saturday address; will outline what WH believes could be path to end #govermentshutdown No details on proposal; unclear if discussed w/top Dems. 1-2



@MajorCBS 11m11 minutes ago More 2-2 Awarness of economic consequences & disruptions of #governmentshutdown increasing inside WH; @realDonaldTrump still adamant #borderwallfunding ; Sat proposal in part shaped by Thursday convos between @senatemajldr @VP & J. Kushner In end, might be small steps, not b-through

The only announcement he could make that I would give a fuck about is 'I quit.' Otherwise, he can go fuck himself. (Even then, he can go fuck himself.)

After what happened yesterday with the Buzzfeed report, I could see him declaring national emergency. Maybe not right now, but something like "if the Dems don't agree to give me the 5 billion within 4 weeks, I will end the shutdown and declare national emergency".

Can't wait to see what the brain trust of Trump, McConnell, Jared, and Pence come up with.

I'm honestly not expecting anything except a repeat of the last speech. "Illegal immigrants bring in drugs and murder people. Build the wall!"

Sounds like the plan here is to try and push a plan hard out into the public, mumble incessantly to try and make it sound reasonable, and then attempt to weaponize it against the Dems when they don't bite?

Looking at that update it sounds as if he is gonna come out and lay out a plan that his base is gonna love and that the Dems are gonna hate.

That way when the Dems continue to refuse the Wall Trump can hold his hands up and say to his base "look guys not my fault. I tried!"

Yet again, this is Trump trying to control the media cycle. He is trying to distract and move on from the Cohen shit. It's what he's been doing this entire presidency and it's frustrating the media just keeps jumping on board and broadcasting it.

I don't see what they can offer that will change minds. But if those tweets are to be believed it means he knows and the WH knows the longer this goes on the more programs will be hindered and people won't be paid.
