Cover or not cover it?

Or cover it until he rants, and then cut away and fact check?

Or cover it while the anchors laugh and mock it, or point out how dangerous it is, all the way through?

They might cut away, though if he starts inciting violence.

I agree. He’s bound to be unhinged at this point.

Is an alien insurrection where Trump is captured so that the space creatures have proof that there is no intelligent life on earth.

The only large open space I see is behind the Alamo Metal Recycling?

Looks like both Harlingen and McAllen airports have flight restrictions. He may be arriving at Harlingen and departing from McAllen?

"President Trump is expected to travel to Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday to mark the completion of more than 400 miles of border wall -- a promise made, promise kept -- and his administration's efforts to reform our broken immigration system," White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere told reporters ahead of the visit.

That he will not have a "presser" that involves being questioned. The next time he answers questions he will be under oath.

After tomorrow's vote, he and his followers are going to reach the peak of insanity. But, still, it has to be done. If his followers break bad, they will have to be the ones to pay the piper.

Zero tolerance! Law and Order!
