If Trump manages to eke out a few sentences that have relevance to truth, I'll be flabbergasted. I'd think, in fact, that a fact-check of the speech would be all that's needed to refute it. But leave Trump to slide towards a deal, probably a DACA Deal, in which Dreamers get everything, and Trump gets his $5 Bill. I see it coming. It's interesting.

Trump says there's a crisis at the border, terrorists and violent criminals are streaming into our country. The evidence doesn't support this: the truth doesn't support the lies he is feeding his base. His primetime address tonight will be filled with more lies and deception in an attempt to bring a wave of public pressure on the dems. But polls show most of the public doesn't see an invasion on our southern border. GOP senators are going to have to face the fact (yes, the fact) that their party's leader does not represent the country, that continuing this path will lead to political suicide as more and more people suffer in the government shutdown. But will they suddenly find their integrity and resolve this? I'm not holding my breath. Once again, it comes down to what is perceived as truth.
