Trump is obeying the wishes of the people...fuck congress they left the people as soon as the elections were over...as usual....There are declarations of national emergency that go back to Reagan. The difference in this declaration and those of the past is Trump is very explicitly going against the will of congress. Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Reagan all issued declarations of national emergency. Most of those declarations were done with the knowledge that congress supported the decision. Some were done without going to congress for approval but I can't find a one where congress said here is the money for a project and the president gave them a big Fuck You, I'll declare an emergency and take what I choose. I think this a first and hopefully the last.We are still under 7 national emergencies signed by Bush and Obama....I bet you didn't even know that did you?.....This is a win for the Libs.
Trump has proven he cannot broker a deal and now has to admit he lost the battle with them.
Declaring a national emergency is a waving the white flag
