I'm waiting to hear back from ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox broadcast about whether they will carry Trump's prime time address tomorrow night. The networks don't automatically say yes when a president asks for airtime.

Trump plans on giving an address on his manufactured border crisis tomorrow night at 9pm. Retweet if you wont be watching and reply with what youll be doing instead. #DontWatchDonald
