Unintended Consequences...'I really didn't have to do this'...

Precisely, less deaths from drugs. Less people dying, from cartels and coyotes. Less human trafficking. Man now that's spending $8,000,000,000 wisely. That's why I voted for him.

How about the game Dems are playing and the consequences That will bring! They want it to happen, they could give a rip About the American people, with Dems it’s about power, money, control! Dems are bad for America!

Does anyone know who the supreme coordinator is'? That is the DC dems/non capitalist's media supreme coordinator. Seems that main stream media backs dems/non capitalists in unison. Hitler's supreme coordinator was Goebbels, who is the DC dems/non capitalists?

Maybe im crazy, but this is what happens we the people allow our votes to be undermined by the electoral college, he already won the day that happened, ...sad.

Some corrupt Dem politicians missing out on bribes from the cartel.

WHY ARE THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT SATAN PARTY INCENTIVIZING HUMAN TRAFFICING IN TNE BORDER SECURITY BILL?

The media, politicians, & so many Americans, are acting as though these actions by Trump are just viable decisions of his preference. BULLSHET! He works for Putin. They don't care about any of our nation's critical interests. They want CHAOS, TURMOIL, CONFUSION, FEAR. PutinTrump

As a progressive-go for it Trump! You will never pay a price because no Democratic President will have the guts to do what you plan to do to end gun violence, attend to climate change, pass universal healthcare reform etc. Mitch knows this and is betting on our lack of guts!

POTUS will go in history as the climate change denier and pro-gun advocate that created the precedence for the next Dem President to declare National Emergency on things that he is against. At the end, he will be saving the planet and help on gun control without him wanting it😂

This will not end well...

He took a long time to act in a 'emergency. ' You don't plan for weeks if it's a true emergency. Emergencies happen suddenly.

A Dem. President can declare a health care, gun violence and climate emergency and take action regardless of Congress. Can't wait!

POTUS will go in history as the climate change denier and pro-gun advocate, to create the precedence for the next Dem President to declare National Emergency on things that he is so against. At the end, the irony will be that we own him thanks for saving the planet and our kids!

It’s not about protecting your Country citizens and boarders anymore it’s about destroying your President

Gun seizures are definitely gonna happen now. realDonaldTrump is gonna open Pandora’s box. There actually is a gun violence emergency in this country. thanksdonnie

It is massive. The democrats caused it.

Actually, it is common sense to Declare the U.S. border hopping a National Emergency. Specially, B4 the border hopper numbers increase into tens and hundreds of thousands. Now, is the time to put up walls, barriers, moats, whatever. Moats with crocodiles would be good.

States who support trump should pay for the wall starting from Mich McConnell Kentucky. After all the other states that know this is not a National Emergency elected officials to save the money for a real emergency!

Mitch McConnell doesn't know how to handle a bully does he? If he supports Donald Trump on this funding for a wall it just tells me that Mitch McConnell is dirty dirty dirty!

What about Obama's 12? Chalax compose he will do what needs to be done to protect America..seeing that the Dem's don't even want to, according to this shit bill.

Hello, Eminent Domain! Goodbye, GOP identity as champion of individual property rights!

never ever underestimate chine, but have some scare from russia. bear percepted onemore threat from cowboy some 20 years ago, they built no human submarins inside but equipped with sun bombs one is capable to

All 45 wants is what HE WANTS and he will do anything to get it. Consequences to him are meaningless. Future impact - why would he care?

No dice pics.

If Dems don’t immediately pass emergencies for climate, guns, and healthcare when they control the exec, I’m done with them.

GOPhypocrites CorruptGOP FireGOP RuleOfLaw VoteBlue2020

So...the Mexico payment was a hoax the whole time?

For the Leftists 👇

National Emergency?zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

How does an average American get through to our elected representatives in Congress? I've tried the E-mail route and it's been ignored. Does anyone have the addresses of representatives to send letters?

I am for it. When we get the White House we can do it for health care, climite change etc. I call it the McConnell rule.

Didn’t you guys write an article back in 2014 about the $3.7BIL in funding for a national crisis at the border in the name of “humanitarianism”? Who was President in 2014? Obama. What did he use the $3.7BIL for? Holding cells. What changed WaPo?

And Mitch the toadie supports it.

So Fat Liar is now technically accurate?

please mueller please we can’t take much more

But there's a CATCH: 'What's sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander' (if one person or anyone is allowed to do something or to behave in a particular way, then another person/someone else must be allowed to do that thing or behave in that way, too), the English say.

There is no border emergency that building fencing over a period of years will solve. The troops sent to the border had zero positive impact on any of the issues POTUS has declared critical / drugs, crime, violence, trafficking. It’s a fake crisis ginned up by a narcissist.

Yes like an assault weapon ban when the Dem's do it.

Court cases sure to follow.. FakeNationalEmergency

This is so f*cking stupid. There is no national emergency that requires building a wall. What a waste of money. What a waste of time.

To build the wall requires a national emergency ?! Well I hope you are doing the right thing not just sheer stubbornness

For the record, I am against this. But the media pretends that the path to Presidential abuse of power starts with Trump. Obama started pushing the limits for eight years and the courts have allowed overreach like DACA to continue. Now media is mad because Trump does it.

The old man alleged to bring back the greatness to American but conversely.

Mitch the most useless republican who just destroyed the party for ever, they now have to be exterminated and removed from the face of the earth, jail whoever is left after the next election, NATIONAL EMERGENCY, declare NRA a terrorist organization and remove all guns from cities

Trump, a bull in a political China shop, kicks open a door leading to he knows not where. Typical for him. Screw him.

GO AHEAD TRUMP...MAKE MY DAY...You gotta ask your self do I feel lucky Well do ya PUNK ? You'll be dragged out of the W.H. so fast your head will spin !!

Democratic nominees will now need to pledge to declare a national emergency to fix climate change.

National emergency? For what reason are we being attacked by the Russians or marshians? 911 what’s your emergency? 🤮

GOP helping Trump cut their own throats by taking away their power in Congress to control the money. First step towards the monarchy our founding fathers abhorred.

This would follow with: -- Because of national emergency, DT orders congress bombed.

Between the shutdown and attempts to get his money Trump has spent way over the 5B he wanted. Too bad, now your money is gone.

The unintended consequences? An unnecessary Congress.
