(10,131 posts)1. That was a way for him to continue to make the argument for his border wall
Miller was drafting something along those lines.
They're losing in the polls - gets worse each week.
He needs something to turn the dispute his way.
To me, with this announcement, they might be getting ready to fold

(53,410 posts)3. He doesn't understand when to use quotation marks
I think if he did he would understand that the way he used quotation marks on the word great means he is implying a hand air gesture around the word which in turn denotes sarcasm about the word or a real quote regarding that particular word.
His tweet does none of these. So it looks like hes disparaging himself, his forthcoming speech or some as yet unknown thing.
