What they’re saying

“Even if I knew, I wouldn't say, right? It's President Trump's message to the nation. Can only guess. War? Dissolving the Supreme Court? Suspending midterms to stop cheating? Mass arrests? Extraterrestrials? I'm grasping at straws, but I've heard it'll be major, weighty. It could be the speech President Trump's base has been waiting for—for many years—a bombshell.”
