(46,576 posts)It was a fund raiser. Text/emails messages were sent to supporters asking for money for the wall. The wording was very pushy and specifically sent to close supporters who had donated before. The note said that Trump would know if they donated.
When the speech was over, they were given another email that said that Trump knew they didn't donate and they would be given more time to donate.
Jesus. He just turned the public announcement for national emergencies into a marketing ploy. Now you know why we all dreaded the nationalizing of our text messages.

Translation: He fell flat.
Chris cuomo actually backed her up saying he was at the off the record lunch today and Trump is much better reading rooms like that not these kinds of speeches. Maggie agrees.
Later she said it was a "Hail Mary"
