“I suggest everybody tune in.”
There has been a lot of speculation about how the government shutdown might end. One theory was that it would end with an emergency declaration by the president premised on a crisis along the southern border. That speculation may have moved one step closer to reality. A short time ago, Trump tweeted that he’d be making a big announcement about the border and the shutdown tomorrow:
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 .
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 18,2019
That’s not much to go on and no one else is talking.
Asked if @POTUS will use Saturday announcement to declare a national emergency to build a border wall, @PressSec says she won’t get ahead of @POTUS . “I suggest everybody tune in.” She says he’s continuing to look for an end to the crises at the border.
