Presently we have but three hours and a half to "guess" what the President is going to say in his speech.
What do you think his speech is going to include?
I will offer my guess.
I think he is going to announce he is going to persuade congress to accept his offer to fund the wall construction himself, and be paid back a billion a year, plus interest.
That way, the shutdown ends, and congress does not have to come up with over five billion dollars at one time.
The other option is, he will declare a national security risk, and take money, and resources from the military to build the wall.
I'm interested very much in watching the dem rebuttal, too. I wonder who the Dems will tap tonight to make their case to keep the shutdown going considering, as Mitch McConnell noted today, the funding President Donald Trump wants for the border wall represents only 1/10th of 1% of federal spending.
Today I come to you in hopes to explain the issues that face the nation. We are in the middle of a government shutdown due to the lack of funding over a serious issue on the American/ Mexican border. I have asked congress for 5 billion dollars to finish and fund key parts of the border that will secure our nation from murders, terrorists and drugs that are pouring into our country. We have human trafficking, and illegal immigration and serious security holes that need to be addressed. The Democrats refused to provide the funding and or work with my administration with the recent caravan of immigrants that which brought HUGE groups of people to the border it became clear this issue needs to address to the American people and congress. The shutdown continues until congress funds the wall construction and put our people back to work. If this continues any longer by the Democrats I will be forced to declare a state of Emergency.
Trump doesn't have enough personal money to fund the wall, and any proposals of his to do this are just blather.
There's a campaign trending on Twitter to not watch whatever it is Trump has to say, but after considering the merits of skipping it, I decided to watch - so I could be better informed about what he has to say and whatever his body language might indicate about his state of mind: will he be calm and rational? Will he be belligerent? Will he be self-contradictory, with obvious lies? Nervous? Calm?
How will Trump appear physically? Heavier? Bloated? More orange? Circles under his eyes? Or in ruddy health?
What props will he have near him? Will the usually empty desk be adorned with keepsakes or significant trinkets?
What color tie will he wear? His ubiquitous red tie, or something else? What signals will he unconsciously project? What will the TV pundits make of it all?
And what will the Democrats have to say afterwards?
Bigly
Mexico is not sending their best
Mexico is going to pay for it via Nafta 2.0
Democrats are obstructionist
Nobody knows how to build a wall better than me

We'll soon know...
Upon the day he announced he would be running for President, he had a net worth of ten billion dollars.
Later estimates put it at just over five billion.
Obviously he could well afford to build the wall on what he has behind him.

Bob.
I completely, 100%, disagree with all of this.
