President Donald Trump is urging TV networks to provide him with airtime so he can deliver a prime time address about the government shutdown and pitch his $5.7 billion border wall – with a Thursday border trip planned for emphasis.
The White House confirmed the trip to the southern border Monday, but a high-profile speech to the nation was less clear. The New York Times reported that Trump 'wants to address the nation' about the government shutdown, where Trump's demand for a border wall is the primary sticking point.
Earlier on Monday, Trump tore into the 'fake news' media, accusing the press of making up stories and ignoring positive statistics about job growth. He lashed out at members of the press as 'crazed lunatics.'
Although a president can give a speech whenever he wants, it only has maximum impact if carried live, and networks are loathe to interrupt their prime-time lineups unless they believe the speech is a legitimate news event, not just talking points.
Trump's double-barreled plan to break through the politics of the shutdown comes as the White House revealed he is heading back to the U.S.-Mexico border as he doubles down on his demand for a wall amid the ongoing government shutdown.
The president 'will travel to the Southern border on Thursday to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis,' White House press secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted Monday.
'More details will be announced soon.'

The move is immediately taken as a signal that Trump intends to dig in on his demand that Democrats provide $5.6 billion for construction of a border wall – a 2016 campaign pledge that is at the center of the partial government shutdown.
He has stuck by that financial demand – even after he said he would show flexibility on the wall being constructed out of steel instead of out of concrete. He said a steel wall would actually be more expensive.
'The barrier or the wall can be steel instead of concrete if that helps people. It may be better,' Trump said Sunday.
He also said he would call major steel companies asking them to design a wall – which would be a long way from core missions of smelting, procuring materials, and running a factory.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the trip on Thursday as the partial government shutdown was on its third week

'I intend the call the heads of United States Steel and a couple of other of our great steel companies. I will have them come up with a template or design of a beautiful steel product, which we now may use and use that as our barrier,' he said.
Trump also has said Mexico will pay for the wall, something he says will be accomplished by a new U.S.-Mexico trade deal that has yet to go through Congress.
The trip to the border comes after Trump tasked top aides along with Vice President Mike Pence and son-in-law Jared Kushner to try to negotiated an end go the standoff that has kept 800,000 workers from either going to work or getting paid.
Even as he demands Congress fund the wall, Trump said on Sunday he's looking at his options to get the wall built,including declaring a national emergency.
'I may declare national emergency dependent on what going to happen in the next few days,' Trump said.
'Congressman Adam Smith, the new Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, just stated, 'Yes, there is a provision in law that says a president can declare an emergency. It's been done a number of times.' No doubt, but let's get our deal done in Congress!,' the president tweeted Monday.
But Smith also warned Trump 'would be wide open to a court challenge' if he made such a move.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
