Today's 5 PM EDT presidential press conference will be interesting if it is not cancelled.

There are numerous possibilities for him to explode or suffer a coronary:

- The war with Avenatti
- The Kavanaugh debacle
- The UNGA laughing at him yesterday
- The UN Security Council members trashing him to his face today
- The failure of his tax bill to influence voters
- The bleak outlook for Republicans during the mid-terms
- The Mueller investigation

I honestly think he will cancel it.

This could be one for the ages!

It would be fine with me if he exploded from a coronary.

They took him to task on his policies, particularly Bolivia.

Now with that said a good dose of drugs would encourage him to sleep through it.

It would be like when you drop a pumpkin from a great height and there's orange goop everywhere.

but he won't take questions. If he does, they'll be from friendly media.

Mostly he'll bloviate and bully. It will be another brick in the wall of Autocracy.

He's already high AF on self-regard, and fancies himself a media genius.

I suggest the legitimate press pound him one 1 topic, any topic, and don't let him off the hook. Echo, refrain, badger until you get through that wall of bullshit.

But the legitimate press doesn't take my advice...
