What if Trump's primetime address tomorrow is for something else?
EEE | 08 JULY 2018 | EEE

Posted on 07/08/2018 8:49:30 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

I apologize for this vanity, but this has been gnawing at me all day.

Why would Trump hold a primetime, evening address to the nation to name a SCOTUS selection?

He didn't do it for Gorsuch. Usually, a SCOTUS selection is just a general press conference with the president and SCOTUS choice.

What if there's going to be ground-shaking news tomorrow? The sealed indictments? Mueller or Rosenstein getting fired? Possibly the reunification of North and South Korea? Troops on the border or a national emergency to immediately begin construction of the wall?

Exactly ... it’s about the nominee and he’s doing this to make sure his narrative gets out ahead of the MSM fake news attempts to Bork him.

Bill Clinton’s sideways looks during those debates was literally one of the funniest (and most satisfying) things I have ever seen.

Anyone else would have been destroyed and in hiding when all those allegations came out, but the Democrats loved Billy even more.

President Trump is probably going to TELL, NOT ASK The Crazy loons on the Left to not go ANYMORE FULL BORE STUPID OR THEY WILL BE SENT TO ONE OF Sheriff Joe’s Tent “Community’s”

Because this nomination is extremely important... one of the biggest, most important things of his presidency. The left knows this too, and is geared up for a fight. Now is the perfect time to pull out the big gun... the evening address is a big gun. Trump wants to win this one. I want him too.

Nah, he already said this is for the SCOTUS announcement. He’s just drumming up attention.

Yes he is driving the DemocRATS further Left before the Election.

LOL

Please don’t get my hopes up. I would do backflips for that but after waiting so long for it to happen I have given up hope.

However, there may be big things afoot. I saw a video on Twitter today of Bill and Hillary Clinton flying commercial. The two of them must be worth $100m at least. Why would they be flying on a commercial jet?

Perhaps they were being transported by U S Marshalls to a federal holding facility.......

Trump will announce he has banned the NYT, CNN, and the DNC and that the bombing starts in 5 minutes.

Will have to wait it out - Gorsuch was important but this one helps solidify the court unless Roberts opts to go off the ledge some more...

Anytime Trump wants to use primetime to make an announcement worthy of interrupting regularly scheduled programming, it should always interrupt Madam Secretary.

Gee ... 9 p.m. ... that’s Hannity’s time slot. If Hannity’s not on the air, you don’t suppose ... nah!

Our Prez might have a little fun with all the media hyperventilation, rolling a grenade under the press corps with some unexpected announcement, but in the end he’ll use the event as intended.

Yea, maybe President Trump will extend the Olive Branch to both the Clinton's and Obama's by telling the Nation his first 3 choices for the SCOTUS pick is Hillary, Bill and Barrack... but he is really sorry since none of them passed the Bar Exam. Then he can tell the Nation he wanted to have an Indian pick for SCOTUS, but Elizabeth Warren refused the Million Dollar perk. He also wanted to see if Maxine was available, but when Kennedy left his one condition at this time was she not be nominated for what he called obvious reasons.

Trump then stated he wanted someone who could first Read, and second Interpret the Constitution as written - so he was going to have to get someone not educated in Ivy League Schools, and instead he would find someone who could both meet the two qualifications and someone who is logical rather than emotional thus eliminating the majority of democrats he knew in public service based on what they had said before. He then told us he had no choice other than to selection a Lawyer who graduated from one of the three Military Academies simply because they have all taken an Oath that (and then Trump reads) I, (name), having been appointed an Air Force cadet in the United States Air Force, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. (So help me God). With that the President simply say's goodnight My Fellow Americans.

Well he does like to announce a press conference for one thing and then turn around and make the bulk of it about something else so who knows.

I’d love to hear him say “Oh, and I’m declassifying all documents related to the FISA warrant for the Dossier.”

Not going to hold my breath though.

What if all he does is announce his Supreme Court pick? And is annoyed when ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox don’t break into their programming to cover it?
