So sayeth the WSJ (based on an unnamed source):

quote:

President Trump isn’t expected to declare a national emergency at the southern border when he addresses the nation about his request for funding for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico boundary, according to a person who has reviewed drafts of the speech.

The president’s speech didn’t include any declaration of a national emergency, according to the person. Instead, the speech seeks to explain the president’s rationale for why he viewed the situation at the border as a crisis. Mr. Trump has said he wouldn’t sign any bill ending the partial government shutdown that doesn’t allocate money for hundreds of miles of a border wall.

Because Trump never goes off script when giving a speech.

How many more hours until the "speech"? We won't have to wait very long to find out the accuracy of this reportage.

Are you saying you want to bet on the outcome?

un-named source, WSJ



So this, the source being TRUMP, is just bullshite? The MSM is grasping

quote:

On Sunday, at Camp David, Trump returned to the theme, saying, “I may declare a national emergency dependent on what’s going to happen over the next few days.” When he got back to the White House, he added, “We have a national emergency, just read the papers. We have a crisis at the border, of drugs, of human beings being trafficked all over the world, they’re coming through . . . criminals and gang members coming through. It is national security. It is a national emergency.


Sounds like to me that is a prepping of the anus.

He does. What is your prediction? Will this headline end up being accurate or not?

I mean yeah, the odds are probably better than not that he doesn't do it on this telecast but will throw it out as a possibility

Obviously. But that's not what this thread is about.

I'd do a $20 Paypal bet with anyone (everyone) that he DOES NOT declare a National Emergency.

They'd prefer to just poo poo the WSJ and then ignore the accuracy of the report in a few hours when Trump definitely does not declare an emergency tonight.

Oh I'd agree 100%. It is extremely likely he will grease the skids though. He will make the case. But I believe any declaration per se would come later.

True. I mean, he's already forgiven for what is obviously a reversal on the Syria withdrawal.
