Trump will make "major announcement" at 3 pm tomorrow

Oh boy. Here we go. Trump tweeted about an hour ago that he would make a major announcement from the Oval Office at 3 pm tomorrow about the "humanitarian crisis at the southern border" (P.S. there isn't one) and the shutdown. There is a lot of speculation happening on Twitter. Most expect him to declare the "national emergency" that he has been threatening for weeks. Just the fact that he has stalled on it for so long has weakened his argument on it aside from the fact that there is no emergency at the border. He keeps making stuff up just to try to get his stupid vanity wall. Remember that horrible awful caravan that was coming before the mid-term elections? Did they get in? NO. Did we have his stupid wall then? NO. He is now trying to threaten that another caravan is coming. Don't see how we need a wall yet since the last caravan didn't get in without one. In any case, if he is stupid enough to declare a national emergency (narrator: he is), it will immediately be challenged in court and Trump will most likely lose. Pretty much everyone who knows anything about law is agreed on this. Not really sure why Trump is even bothering to try this except to maybe try to make up ground with the white non-college educated voters (his base) who are abandoning him. WHY BOTHER HOMIE? YOU'RE NOT LASTING THROUGH 2019! P.S. I swear I have more interests than politics/Donald Trump. There were just a lot of interesting topics about him and his dumpster fire presidency this evening.

I was scrolling through amazon prime t.v. earlier. There is a roast on Donald Trump done by comedy central. I forget all that roasted him. Seth McFarlane and Snoop Dogg were one of them. I didn't watch it as you had to have the comedy central channel. I wonder if the imaginary world he lives in has a pink princess bed and nice purple plush couches? Can we impeach him yet? As an aside, Lawrence O'Donnel talked about how the Speaker Of The House was no longer allowed to fly commercially because of 9/11. At that time I was not at all interested in politics so I had no idea that the Speaker had ever been allowed to fly commercially to events.

@NJChicaa Oh yes, I know she's down the line of sucession. I saw a clip of her today. She said that she didn't "believe trump was trying to retaliate." I am pretty sure she probably believes it but she can't exactly say that she believes he's being a childish pansy.

@ScribbledAdNauseum she knows exactly what he did but she has too much class to call him out on it.

Technically she is 2nd in line to the Presidency after Pence so she gets maximum security. Trump, being a huge baby and huge a-hole blew the whole thing up after she cancelled his SOTU speech. He gave away where she was going so flying commercial wasn't even an option any longer. I read that they tried to go commercial but were told that there were too many threats to the area after hearing that they would be visiting.

I'm not one to discuss politics openly, but I do have some strong opinions! I love the United States and I love kindness...I just want us to be known as a kind country that yes, looks after our own, but doesn't turn our back on the world. As for the rest of my opinions, I'll keep them to myself!

Well Trump has branded our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, as enemies. You can start there. He also wants to pull out of NATO. . . you know, the alliance that was formed from the World Wars? The one whose protective force was ONLY ACTIVATED ONCE? Ya know when? After 9/11.

@NJChicaa I live less than an hour from Canada. We go several times a month in good weather. We chat often and I find that MOST (not all) of our Canadian friends get that we are not enemies.

Tomorrow's going to be interesting. Or not. This could be like his last TV address where he said nothing but what he's already said.

@NJChicaa Maybe he'll get arrested before 3 PM. Fingers crossed.

@xander6464 I keep hoping that the Secret Service will hit him with a tranquilizer dart!

He's had a lot of bad news come out. He's gotta do something big to try to distract (in his mind). The law will still come for him.

I am so tired of that man and his politics but interesting to know what he plans to say. Please let us know what he says. I know I won't listen.

I won't watch it as I can't stand to listen to him or watch him. He disgusts me. i'll catch the gist of it an hour after it.

God, I cannot wait for this orange monster to get out of the WH. I don't care how it happens -- impeachment, resignation, election or act of god -- but he is destroying this country.

He has done a lot of damage to the country, our farmers, and to our international relations. . . all the while profiting off of his position. And the spineless GOP just let it go on. This has been a dark chapter in our country's history but I think the Democrats regaining control of the House, Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker of the House, and all of these news stories breaking. . . even BEFORE Mueller's report mean that the Very Stable Genius is in SERIOUS trouble.

I am hoping that this major announcement will be about him resigning - eh, but I guess that's being too hopeful .

My money is on Trump declaring a National Emergency and possibly martial law in the border states.

His "national emergency" will get struck down by the courts so quickly. This is just an attempt to distract from the Michael Cohen news. Pathetic.
