And if he doesn't do it during the SOTU, he will do it at some point. He doesn't want to because there's a lot of Republicans who don't want him to do it. But he doesn't want to be seen as the loser in the struggle either, especially since he's staked such a huge amount of his credibility on it. In the end, his fear of being seen as a loser will override his reservations about pissing off the GOP establishment and base.

11. If he is desperate to avoid being seen as a loser, I guess that means all mirrors are out at 1600?

That man is a walking pile of failure and loser is too kind for him as a description. He is the worst human being in the history of the species homo sapiens. He is a living affront to women, a complete imbecile and incurious douchebag. He smells of sulfur, staph and rot; and I imagine that his breath is worse than his body aromas. If he wants to avoid being seen as a failure and a loser, his only options are suicide or hiding on a deserted island until he shuffles off the mortal coil by other means...

Failed in businesses.
Failed in marriages.
Failed in attempts to bully Pelosi.
Failed in life.

There is no way that he will let an African American Woman hold the stage without some kind of interruption. If it's not national emergency, it'll be something that demands attention...infantile asshat that he is.

who craves the limelight and celebrity acclaim that goes along with a big Prime time live TV production with an audience of millions.

What more grand and pompous stage could serve as a prop for Trump's latest shocker than the elevated Dias of the US House during a joint session of Congress where he is specially invited by his arch nemesis to entertain the whole country?
