did trump really say this today. I was out today and have to catch up but this is alarming to me.

Today Trump claimed he will seize large swaths of land from private citizens at gunpoint and declare a “state of emergency” to build a wall without Congressional approval. In the face of tyranny, Republicans are outraged ... by a freshman Member of Congress using profanity.

Heavy use of Eminent Domain was spoken by the Lump in his rambling - maybe that can get through to some of his base (after it's been explained just what this entails).

Calling Donnie an off-color name, and a reenactment of a scene from the Breakfast Club are both on the verge of causing riots. But a president declaring a national fucking emergency to seize private land to build an unneeded wall to pacify a passel of deplorable racists is perfectly fine. Amiright?
