I’m guessing to announce travel restrictions and more news on some sort of stimulus (payroll tax holiday?).

Oh goody. A moron stares blankly while mumbling and sniffing incessantly.

Now that there’s some good TV.

Thank God for
Adult Swim counter programming

Oh look! Forged in Fire is new tonight. Yay!

I know so many folks with tax bills this year because of previous cut in withholding

Whatever he says, don’t believe it.

Actually, I think he is suddenly going to be shocked, shocked by how severe the coronavirus situation is, and go from denial to complete panic in 5.0 seconds.

Dear G-d, can’t somebody just shove a wad of $100 bills in his mouth?

Our poor economy just can’t take another Trump address!

Mikebeee · March 11, 2020, 8:53pm

Oh no no no

txlawyer · March 11, 2020, 8:53pm

Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be dumb and counterproductive.

He. Just. Cannot. Shut. His. Pie. Hole.

schmed · March 11, 2020, 8:53pm

And that, ultimately, is a good thing.

alanonguitar · March 11, 2020, 8:54pm

trump can’t just coast now, he has to navigate stormy waters.

thebigragu · March 11, 2020, 8:55pm

Does he “double down” or try to fake acting presidential???

uneducated · March 11, 2020, 8:55pm

Great time for many of us old folks who go to bed at 9PM.

maximus · March 11, 2020, 8:56pm

So the drinking game trigger(s) for the spielfest?

Obama
Biden
Hillary
Pelosi
Schiff
Fake
Genius

Any more suggestions?

Hannity must be gleeful that the dear leader is taking his time slot.

cberry · March 11, 2020, 8:57pm

I’m sure it will be a perfect address using all the best words that assures us he’s just fine “down there”.

alanonguitar · March 11, 2020, 8:57pm

The skeptic in me suspects he noticed Wall Street responding positively yesterday on hopes of a stimulus, so he’s going to double down on the stimulus, a beautiful stimulus. Maybe the greatest in history.

michaelryerson · March 11, 2020, 8:57pm

What could he possibly say that anyone would have the slightest interest in hearing? Maybe ‘I resign’. Somebody text me if he steps down.
