Opinion: Trump rages as fresh signs of his weakness emerge

President Trump on Thursday. By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 15 at 10:12 AM There is probably no better way to demonstrate one’s manly strength and control than firing off a tweet in capital letters.

He argued that a vote against the emergency would be seen by GOP supporters as being against border security and the wall and would hurt their own political fortunes, according to a person with direct knowledge of some of the calls. The key point here is that Trump’s effort to make this vote all about “border security” failed. Republican senators objected to Trump’s national emergency declaration on separation-of-powers grounds: He used it to gain wall funding that Congress had just denied him. But over and over, Trump commanded them to see this as only about border security, and about him.

But there’s another plausible explanation for Trump’s rage about this vote: It’s rooted in the same impulse that leads him to keep claiming the wall is currently being built, when it isn’t.

The gop senators are afraid of what the con man in the WH has on them. So my question to investigative reporters is when will they find what Graham is so afraid of?

cc: varadmehta He's raging and weak again!

'Trump rages' Well that's a good start to my weekend knowing he's not happy...🙂

The bags under his eyes are as big as potato sacks.

He started this white supremacist terrorist groups. Go now war on terror Americans started against ISIS. Let see what they do against Christian terrorists

I suggest drug tests for everyone at WaPo. Whoever wrote this has discovered a special concoction, very special.

Washington Post lie first up of many. Media ALL knew Covington truth and kept reporting narrative lie! This is beyond gross negligence! $250 Million that Amazon Bezos will pay who has his own defamation issues with National Enquirer. A bit of irony ha!

He's been weak the whole time.
