Analysis: For a president eager to campaign against Washington, say some observers, a GOP split isn't all bad.

“Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution, and I have the duty to veto it,” he said as he sent a measure that would have terminated his declaration of a national emergency — and the transfer of billions of dollars to build his promised border wall — right back to Capitol Hill., an unusually large number of GOP defections from Trump’s line.

“They gave him a gift,” Schlapp said of Congress sending him the resolution. “The president is at his strongest when he is fighting and he is seen as credible when he is fighting members of his own party…especially when the principles are on his side.” As for Trump, Steele added,"he loves the fight, he doesn't care who he's fighting, it doesn't matter if it's Republicans or Democrats ... for him, politically, it reaffirms for his base why they sent him to Washington."

Some Republican critics of the president's methods, including Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, have raised constitutional concerns, while others have simply worried that a future Democratic president would use the precedent set by Trump to spend money on pet projects not approved by Congress.Rachel Bovard, the policy director at the Conservative Policy Institute and a former aide to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

Look look Mommy! I made something for you to hang on the fridge!

I love our president ..

Wise up Congressional republicans. Impeach Trump before he ruins your re-election chances .

The only swamp Trump’s working on draining is at Mar a Lago and US tax payers are footing the bill. Crooked Donnie, among tax cut, his DC hotel and golfing, staying at his Mar a Lago, is making a fortune off of tax payers. Fact, refunds 4 wealthy at up, 4 poor & mid class 👇. Y?

That looks like the handwriting of a serial killer.

How is nothing ever all that bad for realDonaldTrump or “this could actually help” him, according to the unnamed onservers or GOP operatives? If they’re right, why are his ’s so bad? Why did the TheDemocrats gain 40 seats in House? How did DougJones win?

Trump is his own Traitor against his own governments That’s what dictators do when they are looking for absolute power over all circles of power ! If he does get voted in again the constitution powers will be gone let’s see what happens you put you faith in the wrong man

Just shows he’s a loser who can’t lead....

My diagnosis and recommendation for the this 'VITO' - stick it where the ☀ sun don't shine. Then, call me back in the morning.

For the 30%, yes. For the majority, no.

for me I hope

Analysis: Only campaign he's going to have, is trying to stay out of prison.

Actually it’s bad.
