Primetime

I'm a little bit surprised that all the major networks are going to air Trump's request for a prime time address to the nation tomorrow.  Expect him to talk about the border wall and probably declare a national emergency - even though it isn't one - just to get the funding for the wall that he so desperately wants.  Absolute nonsense, an absolute waste of money, and expect his address to be full of misinformation and scaremongering.  He says he plans to address the country on "the humanitarian and national security crisis at our southern border".  Well the humanitarian crisis is entirely of your own making when you break up families at the border.  Stupid.  These prime time speeches are supposed to be apolitical and only given for moments of significant national interest, and this most certainly is not one.  The least the networks could do is air it on tape delay, and cut out all the falsehoods he makes - that should make for a short address.  Or give the opposition the opportunity to air their side of what is clearly a politically charged topic.  Either way, I don't expect it but I hope Trump goes off script - that is always good for a laugh.
