President Donald Trump declared a national emergency Friday morning and predicted that he will face challenges in the courts. The way the president delivered his remarks, however, was... different.
It started off normally by today's standards.
"The order is signed, and I'll sign the final papers as soon as I get into the Oval Office and we will have a national emergency," Trump said in the White House Rose Garden.
Watch below:
Trump began vocalizing an upward inflection at the end of every phrase... like he was singing an Ed Sheeran song. Big thanks to the Gregory Brothers for this gem.
The thing is it really works:
Sing along with the chorus:
"And we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the Ninth Circuit even though it shouldn't be there, and we will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we'll get another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we'll get a fair shake, and we'll win at the Supreme Court."
Coda:
"Just like the ban. They sued us in the Ninth Circuit and we lost in the appellate division, and then we went to the Supreme Court, and we won."
This is the wholesome content we need right now.
People had their suspicions during Trump's big break.
This is not fake news.
2019 gonna 2019.
Next steps include more autotuning, obviously.
I think I found my weekend plans.
Have we reached peak reality show yet?
Happy Presidents Day weekend.
