This is pathetic.

But cooler heads prevailed. He was so obviously pouting through that speech.

I thought he was on that Adderall again.

Seriously, there isn't a single legal person who says The POTUS has this power. The House would hold hearings and call the FBI, CIA, NSA and DHS who will all say there is no crisis or emergency. The House wont appropriate money anyway.

I get it, its his way "out", so he can blame "the liberal courts who hate America". It just changes the news cycle and we all know that's why he is doing this.

n/t

Somebody convinced him to reluctantly give that speech instead of the national emergency one. It was clear that he hated it. His affect was wooden, he spoke in a monotone, and he looked miserable. He'll seize the first chance he can to do what he wants, which is to declare a national emergency.

Trump thrives on chaos, and he needs to hold his ignorant base. He wanted this shutdown, and he wants the emergency. He could give a shit less about border security, or even the wall/fence/barrier/beaded curtain.

Besides, he talked about holding the hands of weeping mothers. Really? Trump didn't come up with that; he has no capacity to even think of that.

Never mind, that money was for his pockets.

He is trying shield this by invoking a fake national emergency to defy congress. A clearly impeachable offense. Pelosi should start talking that way....FYI, there no limits on how many times a person can be impeached,

The democrats could easily file impeachment charges and the senate would have to do a trial...

like funding for new troop housing, and other projects.

They will get cranky.

a national emergency

Disgusting and not a smart move.

However, a Trump thing.

shortly after he declares a fake national emergency, sidesteps Congress and wipes his fat ass with the Constitution!

We cannot allow this lawless POS GOP tin horn dictator to shit all over our laws and Constitution with impunity!

Let the traitor GOP Senate let him off the hook and destroy their evil party forever!

Trump has killed children at his kiddie concentration camps and now has promised to cut off FEMA and watch California burn!

He's getting ready to tell Congress to fuck off and rule by fiat!

Still we musn't impeach him hmm?

And it won’t be pretty for Trumpy. A lot of GOPers are getting fed up with this madman and are looking for a good excuse to throw him under the bus.

Surrounded by equipment; soldiers; agents and one token family?

they are NOT easy nuts to crack, sTrump!

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I can see his derangement increasing daily and this is the next step for this sociopath.

And bypass congress to install a Medicare for all or a single payer plan. And use military money to pay for it. I can't wait.

STFU ?

...but be ready to suffer the consequences, big boy.

Come on Mr. "I make the best deals, no one knows more than me, I can tell you", if you were not able to even convince a House and Senate that were controlled by your party for two years, what has changed to make it an emergency? Is it that Mueller is getting close? Is it Putin telling you to buy Russian steel or the Pee Tape comes out? What?

How is it an emergency when illegal borders crossings are fewer and fewer? Last year there was one fifth of the number there were in 2000.

And by saying he's doing it because he can't cut a deal, he under-cuts his own case

You all know that though.

This is a bluff. His entire justification for the shutdown is for the wall.
