White House Calls Abrupt, Unscheduled Rose Garden Press Conference

Since the beginning of the year, we’ve noticed an increase in unscheduled, ad hoc press events in the Rose Garden where President Trump addresses the media about an important issue of the day.

The press has been advised to remain calm, though White House reporters were summoned without being given any information about the event.

CNBC’s Eamon Javers also reported that the event will feature “an animal,” possibly a reference to the annual pardoning of the Turkey at the White House (which usually doesn’t take place until Thanksgiving day).

The White House is gathering reporters in the Rose Garden for an unscheduled event. No details about what we’re about to see, but it seems like we will hear from POTUS shortly. Stand by.

There are a number of issues that the president could address, from a potential presidential intervention to stop a Navy SEAL accused of posing with a dead ISIS prisoner from being kicked out of the elite unit, to the abrupt departure of Navy Secretary Richard Spencer that this controversy allegedly elicited, to the ongoing impeachment drama.

Or perhaps he intends to brag about today’s fresh record highs in the market, which he tweeted about a few hours ago.

Another new Stock Market Record. Enjoy!

Whatever it is, we’ll know soon enough.
