Acosta: Trump advisers/friends telling him declare nat'l emergency to please base, even if illegal

Tweet from Jim Acosta a few minutes ago:

Link to tweet

Trump has been reaching out to friends and advisers to ask about national emergency declaration at the border. Several of those folks have told Trump it "probably won't work" from a legal standpoint, I'm told. He is receiving advice that he should do it anyway to please his base.

This is the problem with the right wing media structure, and with Trump's warped mind. President Obama was not a right wing guy. We all knew that, but he actually loosened restrictions on firearms not to please the right wingers but because it seemed the appropriate policy. He definitely leaned left, but he governed for the benefit of all Americans unlike the buttwipe in office now.
