Trump says he'll make a 'major announcement' about the government shutdown on Saturday

As the US government nears the one-month mark in partial-shutdown mode, President Donald Trump said he would make a "major announcement" regarding the US-Mexico border on Saturday.

"I will be making a major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 P.M., live from the [White House]," Trump tweeted on Friday afternoon.

Trump continues to face opposition against funding for a barrier along part of the US-Mexico border by Democrats and some Republican lawmakers. The debates culminated in the government shutdown that has affected about 800,000 federal and contract employees.

It will be one of his media gotchas with a big sob story, yada, yada campaign rhetoric. He might even have a few unpaid fed employees as props. Who all want the wall, of course.
