Is the talk of "national emergency" a bluff?

I can see Trump using this to try to shake up the Democrat's position in the current negotiations.

I can also see him doing so not realizing what position he'd be in if the bluff is called.

If this comes to pass, as it likely will, Trump may feel he has no choice.

Such a narrative has become common with this joker.

And don't forget, Democrats will get the blame if it happens. Trump's bad behavior is always their fault somehow. It reminds me of the dynamic between abuser and wife.
