Trump announced Friday he'd hold a big press conference in DC on Monday. Don't think he dares to now

I doubt there's any way he's going to be able to handle questions from the media at this point.

He crawled out from under his rock at Bedminster this evening to retweet a story about the DOJ investigation from Axios -- as if he could in any way take credit for it -- but at the moment he seems afraid to tweet anything else.

He is planning to sign an executive memorandum about trade and China tomorrow

but it's hard to imagine him opening himself up to questions from the press.

Editing to add that I was right. There's no press conference on Trump's schedule for Monday. See replies 3 and 4 below.

1. Oh, yeah! how will the "big announcement" go down now?

2. It'll go down like the Titanic. Right now the staff must be scrambling for a lifeboat big enough for

Trump. But no announcement on trade and China, especially a policy that sounds pretty foolish, is going to distract the media from Trump's complete failure as president in his response to what happened in Charlottesville.

On Friday, Trump announced he'd hold a "pretty big press conference on Monday." There's no press conference on his Monday schedule.

The little chickenshit is running and hiding!

Someone should, I don't know, maybe place a giant chicken outside the White House.
