New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump didn’t want to give an Oval Office speech on immigration and doesn’t want to visit the southern border.
She said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that Trump looked unnatural and uncomfortable without an actual audience in the room when he gave his address.
“What I was struck by watching this speech is I had heard from several sources throughout the day the president was really not that into doing this speech,” Haberman said.
“A lot of his advisers were. A lot of his friends on Capitol Hill thought he should do this,” she added. “There is a reason he hasn’t done an address like this in the course of the last two years and it’s because he hasn’t wanted to. And I think you saw tonight why he hasn’t wanted to. It’s just not a natural setting for him and we didn’t hear a whole lot new.”
