National emergency is my guess.

A "Yuge" deal that will do nothing but piss off more people?

Declaring an emergency gives Trump an out. He can save face with his base that he didn’t back down on the wall. He’ll lose in the courts because there is no real emergency, and then he’ll blame the courts for there not being a wall. Who knows what will happen though. Just a thought. As long as we get funded I could not care less what happens

Government shutdown might be ending tomorrow, depending on how Trump's press conference goes. Supposedly it's to declare a state of an emergency to use funds towards the wall, if that happens, very likely the government will reopen by Tuesday. Otherwise, expect the government shut down to go on for at the bare minimum, another week, if not longer.

It's based on a lot of News Sources saying that it's a likely possibility. I used the word "might" and "supposedly", intentionally.

According to the current reports from “senior administration officials” (take that with a grain of salt), he’s going to announce a possible deal to reopen the government, not declaring emergency. The source also claims that he “negotiated” this deal with Pence, McConnell and his son-in-law. So don’t get your hopes up

Maybe we’ll get really lucky and he’s resigning

Other articles that I read stated the opposite, we just really have to see how tomorrow goes. It doesn't make sense for him to be scheduling a press conference tomorrow for public relations after he just addressed the nation via every major cable news network. So either they have a deal or he's just decided he's going around Congress. If it's the deal option, then I would think more politicians would have started leaking by now to take credit for it. (Republicans would want to take credit that their party ended the shut down, as would the Democrats.)
I don’t think they have a deal, as the democrats seem to be content to let him twist in the wind. I also don’t think he’ll declare an emergency as his most vocal backers in Congress are leery of that option. Him agreeing to reopen the government without wall money up front would be seen as capitulation by his base (and everyone else) so I don’t think he’s looking to make brownie points there either. So who knows?! I have a few theories, but no basis for any of them. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow

We Work For The Federal Governments And It’s Time To Strike
I don’t think anyone is stupid enough to, but please don’t strike. Don’t listen to these idiots. You’ll lose your job and possibly be imprisoned. It’s not worth it.

NYT reporter also says they think they have enough votes in Senate for this to go to House. Hope this ends soon for y'all.

If that's true, I don't see pelosi and the Democrats voting on this. She said no wall, and she's not going to miss an opportunity to throw this in Trump's face after he goes on national television to announce.
I think Trump's play is not to get this passed, but to shift blame to get Democrats, so he can say he offered them a deal and they refused. He's likely hoping this changes public opinion in his favor.
That's true, and because the Supreme Court is not taking up the DACA case, the protections are already extended at least another 10 months anyway. You're spot on, he's offering something they already have, betting they say no, and hoping that the public opinion changes in his favor.
