Would be great if he wins. It would set a precedent for a future Socialist president to declare poverty a national emergency and take money out of the defense budget to pay for a guaranteed annual income whether Congress likes it or not.

GOOD!!! It’s so refreshing, watching a warrior, who isn’t afraid of challenges MAGA

Trump does not posses an iota of creativity. His nefarious activities are all about getting what he wants by pouting, bellyaching, finger pointing, fear mongering, bullying, threats & shameless lying. Trump is a common thug who will use any underhanded tactic to get his way.

Honestly, don’t you get the sense that this is all theatre?

Build it!

Trumps got nothing to lose and everything to gain on this one.

Too Bad, It Needs to be done. Obama got ten times that amount for the wall and pocketed the cash.

He wins either way. His base just want him to not buckle to the left. If he is prevented by the courts they’ll just say the courts are left wing elite. It’s not about winning the war it’s about standing up for the misguided views of his base - he’s their champion.

Like when Obama did it? Political, you’re a bunch of liberal hacks pretending to be journalists!

Trump just stop, you're insane

Somehow,someway the man will get the job done. America Is with you Mr. President

It's called National Security.

He believes he has control over the SCOTUS

Which he will win. He acknowledged that the far left would challenge it in a leftist court, then the Supreme Court will uphold it.

“Creative”? Poor word choice, Politico.

He'll never get it. Multiple lawsuits already filed challenging this stupidity. Trump never does anything unless it benefits HIMSELF. My guess is using Fed. funds to pay contractors tied to HIM so he gets paid on the back end. Prob owes Russia a ton. Desperation DonTheCon NOPE

Any military project on that list, the delay to which harms American citizens, is the source of a solid lawsuit. Upgraded military housing, for example.

His WALL? OUR WALL our protection Tool. Proud of him. Don’t worry. He WILL keep his promise like he said, and he will protect this nation. You should go on your knees and start praying for your President.

Legal war looms over Trump move to declare border emergencyLawmakers, activists and state officials are planning to challenge what they say is a presidential end-run around the Constitution. ..The upside to it all is that no one will die out of causation. Trump has to know that no court in this land would allow him to do this, so he wins because he can say he fought for 'them' the whole way. The only way he could possibly win this in court is if he tells Kavenaugh to vote FOR the emergency even though it would be illegal. Fake news!

Pelosi threatens possible legal action over expected Trump emergency declarationWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Democrat in the U.S. Congress said on Thursday she might file a legal challenge if President Donald Trump declares a national emergency to secure funds to build a wall along the U.S. southern border, as the White House has said he would. We went into a state of Emergency the day he became President. I don’t understand why she hates the idea of securing our borders?
