So, what will Trump say this morning?

I think it's completely unpredictable. I'm ready to hear just about anything come out of his twisted little mouth. So, I'm not going to guess.

Why didn't he speak last night? Because he hadn't talked to those he listens to yet. He hadn't heard from Sean Hannity or Vlad Putin yet. He had calls to make. He needed to check in with some people.

So, this morning, he'll step out and say something that might reveal his plans, or might not.

It all depends on what he heard from the people he talked to after the Situation Room was empty and he was sitting alone in his underwear on his bed.

That is what our presidency has devolved to in January of 2020.

Expect anything, but don't expect it to make any sense. That's my advice.

That's what a bully would do and that is a big part of what he is. Of course, there's the criminality, greed, lying, self-serving, hate for everyone not rich and white, stupidity, dementia and idiocy to boot.

Trump will let us know how hard he has been working.. He will let us know how he is a better President than Obama... He will let us know that the problems were created by Hillary and Obama. And.... he will have thought of a new name for Nancy Pelosi....

Maybe he will resign.

Maybe pigs will fly out of my ass.

Maybe I’m really a unicorn.

12. He'll make some empty threats. He'll brag about the lives he has saved.

He'll say Obama should have already done this. He'll brag about the economy. I predict he will be sniffing . . . a lot.

The usual vague threats, along with self-puffery.

He certainly did not look physically well, though.

That's a number of minutes wasted that I'll never get back.
