That swamp is a little more murky than he thought.

What I see: a man who is fighting those who don’t want America great again and there are a lot of’m. Strong as he is, he should take a golf break and forget about DC for a few days. This was the first major event that wasn’t posted on the White House YT channel.

Well said Mandy; I thought he looked rattled when he approached the podium and as you rightly say who knows with what traitors and rats he has as supposed allies ! The republican party has not been his ally throughout his entire Presidency. If they had stepped up before the midterms they could have got this through.He stands as almost a man alone in my opinion,and what with investigations going on all around….what a fantastic man….the ignorant scum who oppose him couldn’t run a booze up in a brewery…I won’t go on…I think he is a great President and really loves his country….to the total shame of his opponents. He is amazing.,the opponents will never be remebered and that is as it should be,they are insignificant except as weasel attempted destroyers. Thanks Mandy MAGA.

Absolutely right. Picked up on the same contrast in the rambling and non-confident remarks and the increased confidence and combativeness with the questions. There was also a significant delay in the start time of the remarks. My read is that he expected more support in this from republicans. He is realizing that he is in this fight essentially alone against a combination of democrats who are on the take with drug cartels and/or looking for slave illegal voters, and republicans who are also corrupted by donors who want slave labor. It has to be frustrating to realize that only a handful of people in Washington have the best interests of the country in mind. He needs another rally with the real Patriots. All of Washinton hates Trump because he is fixing problems instead of maintaining them as a political ploy. They could not take him out with the entire top level of the FBI and DOJ trying to set him up. 21 have been fired and more are on the way with two grand juries convened on Comey and McCabe. Even salmon eventually get tired of swimming upstream.

I see early on that it isn’t the information that he is giving,that makes him so apprehensive. It’s that he is dreading having to crawl out on the political limb,he is about to. He is repeating himself,avoiding making the announcement ,as long as he can. I get the impression that he is tired ?

It’s as if he were saying what he was told to say and he don’t like it. This is scary. I sure hope we’re not losing him. Your observations were right on.

How many punches can one guy take before he starts to show tiredness? Trump knows what the wall really means and why it’s so important. We do not know but I can guess. There’s more than just drugs being moved in and out of this country.

There is something more in both the China stuff and the wall reasons that he is bottling up. Something he wants to go public on but can’t. Something big but something that his advisers do not want public. The reasons for that.They may be three things:
1. It would be generally dishevelled.
2. It would trigger riots or war if public.
3. They are much more advanced than expected. He’s bottling up excitement.

Can you rule any of the three out from how he says things?

P.S. note new log in for me. I busted the old one. lol.

Right on point Mandy!

I believe that OUR President Trump is just tired out from all the stupid fighting, and also is thinking here of the fact that he signed the very bad spending bill in order to secure the total funding he needed for what he can get built by September, when the next negotiation will come. He is fully aware of the poison pills in it, but it was, overall, a win for him, just did not look like it. He can’t say anything about that so it weighs on him. The emergency declaration he is making here is actually future planning, he expects nothing for several months, and he KNOWS it is another large and unpleasant fight — but he knows that all is proceeding well despite appearances — but tired of the relentless fight. ANY politician in his place would have collapsed months ago, it IS a tribute to his strength and veracity also, that he has even survived these ongoing attacks from the frightened little fake government idiots of DC. Trump knows that they are illegitimate, but they have spread through as a virus and DO still looks as though they have the power that they do NOT —… Read more »

When the first budget went through in 2017 with a lot of military spending in it, I thought that the President was already planning on using some of it for the wall. If he couldn’t get the wall done through Congress, he was prepared for today. Can not imagine being up against the world and still persisting. As all of us may be disheartened watching for this, I can recommend Sundance’s articles over at the Conservative Treehouse. At least it cheers me up so see the breadth of sea of change this one man is accomplishing, despite all:

What is your take on the sing song speech about being sued? And also what do you think about Jim Acosta sitting down?

I think he’s just fed up.

This is so not Trump ..scary stuff!
