2. And it will be identical to every other speech he's given, regardless of venue.

I'm the best president ever. The economy is great because of me. We need a wall to prevent the Democrats from inviting millions of MS-13 and ISIS members from coming across the border and raping our women with duct tape. And there was NO COLLUSION. And I don't know Roger Stone.

He s like a broken record, he just wants to hear himself talk about what a great guy he is. Expect enough word salad to stock fhe worlds biggest salad bar.

Big donors do not like being held up for hours and flying in an unsafe manner, this would not be tolerated from Cheetolini.

as they fly a couple times a week and they value their safety - that this shutdown would be ended.

Up till today the shutdown didn't impact them in any real way. When airports experienced ground stops today - it became real for them. Their safety was at stake. They needed to end this shutdown.

Otherwise, all we'll hear is the sound of laughter and clinking champagne glasses from the Democrats' side and from the other side wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Speaker Pelosi can still cut him off at the knees!

The Speaker controls who can and can't enter the House, here's how she can keep him under control!

1. No invited guests at all for either side!!!

2. Only members of the US Congress, SCOTUS, Cabinet members, and the Joint Chiefs will be in attendance!

3. Use House media facilities to record his line of crap, and provide a copy to each media outlet!


Number one doesn't allow him to pad the gallery with Angel Moms and such, using them as props for his lies!!!

Number two gives him a limited audience, many of which will not be impressed by what he has to say

Number three, since their isn't a law requiring the presence of the media, then the American people can watch TV without interruption!

Just an idea.
