Trump Wants to Deliver Prime Time Address on Government Shutdown and Will Visit the B

President Trump wants to address the nation about the government shutdown on Tuesday night, and later in the week plans to travel to the southern border as part of his effort to persuade Americans of the need for a border wall — the sticking point in negotiations with Democrats who are eager to reopen shuttered agencies.

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about a request to television networks to carve out time for an Oval Office address. A person familiar with the request said the White House had asked to interrupt prime time programming on Tuesday.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, announced Mr. Trump’s plans to travel to the border on Thursday, which would be the 20th day of the partial government shutdown if an agreement between Congress and the White House is not reached in the meantime.

So far, there has been little progress in the negotiations. The shutdown is the second longest in the nation’s history and affects about 800,000 federal workers, many of whom will not get paid for the first time this week.

Mr. Trump has said he would not sign legislation to fund shuttered agencies — and reopen the government — unless it includes funding for a border wall between the United States and Mexico. Nancy Pelosi, the new speaker of the House, which came under Democratic control last week, has asserted that the president is “not going to get a wall.”

I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.


He is not backing down

Don’t know if his stubbornness will help us or hurt us

His stubbornness is a blessing in disguise for all Undoc,Dreamer, DACA, Illegal Immigrant, and Foreign National. He can have his stupid monument to self, just let us live in peace inside this great nation.

Notice how even the pants on head right wing media is starting to see the trees in the forest.

I just need old, oxidized, spent hen, and past-her-prime coulter to shut her stupid whore mouth for just 1 month. For miller to be quiet while I mail him my secret hair growth formula, and for all the rest to keep their stupid whore-slut mouths shut and listen to Kushner and Ivanka. Ivanka needs to go to daddy and explain why DACAs are good, and why trump must make a tremendous deal.

All the planets are starting to align. Bring out your quartz crystals for energizing.

I think he may take the national security route, instead of going through congress. If he does this, then I don't see a deal for us any time soon.

I hope it turns into a roast.

fuck trump.

Dammit Donzo The clown, money witch pelosi, and crying chuck. You government-apes had one job!

The government trying to find solution and dreamers r like:

Manufacturing a crisis is straight out of an authoritarian playbook. That’s what he’s trying to do since there’s no national emergency down there.

I think the reason for this is two folds. He knows that this is probably his only chance of getting his Border Wall Money. And it is a good distraction from the Mueller probe. I believe the rest of the year is going to be an even greater shit show than what is going on.
