Trump plans to make Democrats an offer to end shutdown, not declare national emergency

President Donald Trump plans to offer Democrats another proposal to end the shutdown when he addresses the nation from the White House on Saturday afternoon -- what officials are describing as his third offer to end the shutdown, according to a senior administration official.

The official told CNN that Trump's idea is to put something on the table to get Democrats to engage with negotiations. Trump is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall, but the plan will seek to entice Democrats by offering other concessions.

This is what OANN is saying according to their twitter feed: Alex Salvi ‏ @alexsalvinews 27m27 minutes ago #NEW on @OANN: President Trump's Saturday address: Expected to offer proposal to end shutdown. Includes items to sway democrats who have not countered. Not expected to announce national emergency. However, declare a national emergency still under consideration.

Probably DACA related. Didn’t work before, but puts the heat squarely on the RATS back.

I tweeted the WH the other day for them to make public specifically what they want so the public would know what is going on with the negotiations. LOL

If I were him, I would float the rumor that I intended to turn the layoffs into permanent RIFs so the government employees could draw unemployment.

I hope he announces that if the shutdown is still in place on Monday, he will be permanently firing a couple hundred thousand furloughed fed workers.

If it’s amnesty for DACA, we’re screwed.

Trump could’ve built the wall without dealing with the treasonous dems. This will be a HUGE defeat.

I hope that the plan involves a horse’s head in Nancy’s and Chuck’s beds.

Agree. Do not doubt that if he declares a national emergency that the unhinged Left may well use that as grounds for impeachment, citing it as an attempt to violate the role of congress, something like that that they will call a “high crime” and get a small army of law professors to back them up. it would be a distraction at best and an actual constitutional crisis at worst. He wants to avoid that of course.

They could even try to invoke the 25th amendment. These people are sick!

Let Trump be Trump...it will work out in the end.

DACA amnesty.

Or he’ll offer to jack up the H1B visas. That’s not going to go over well with the base. No way would I support that unless there are major reforms to the program. It is routinely abused. Americans have lost jobs over that program.
