The president’s comment reversed days of signals that he might soon declare the emergency amid a protracted standoff with Democrats over a partial shutdown of the federal government.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Then it’s not an emergency. Are there any competents working in this regime?

Trump lies first and always.

Democrats, 'You can't negotiate with'terrorists'?

What needs to happen is an Executive order stopping Congress and Senate pay transferring to the Federal Employees getting no pay at least they are accomplishing something. Congress and Senate have not handled immigration properly so why am I paying for lack of service?

So they've left for the weekend but DelusionalDonnie wants them to come back for what? So he can slam the table and walk out again? Pffft. ImpeachTheMF TrumpShutdown MitchShutdown NoWall CRIMINALPresident TrumpCrimeFamily LockHimUp 25thOnThe45th BlueTsunami 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES FIRST!!!!!!!

Have we learned our lesson yet? The first mention of a national emergency is news. But the constant 'maybe,” “probably,” “almost definitely” is not news! If he actually declares his emergency, THEN you have news. Again, the news media have been played, by the attention-grabber

DO It NOW drive the Commie Lefties CRAZYer

The tide has turned.

In this game of forces who loses are not the players. To vary are those who pay taxes, that is, society ..

Wild fires in California is an emergency, hurricanes in Texas is an emergency. Immigrants coming over the border for the last 50 years is not an emergency. Especially since it’s on the decline.

call his bluff, he's snowmanned himself into a corner

Longest Tantrum in U.S. History costs the economy over $2 BIllion. Tantrum. Trump. Tantrump

There is no way he can win at declaring a National Emergency because he keeps using it as a bargaining chip or threat. Not getting your way does not constitute a National Emergency situation.

People with leadership recognize when there is an emergency. He is clearly dangling this as a threat. It is beneath the Presidency to be playing politics with the fiscal lives of workers. Sign one of the damn bills already

let the Mexican government fund the wall as earlier said by Trump during the campaign.

For 8 years the democrats Said it was impossible and that republicans would not negotiate. But they did for the entire 8 years.... Seems to me they were just again accusing the republicans of what they are guilty of

Mark my words, he will do it on 2/7 to try to steal the news cycle from the Cohen to the Hill story.

Everybody should be forced to stay until this is settled. People’s financial well-beings are getting held hostage...NOT FAIR!!!!

Exxon been rage textin him.

He’s gone from orange to yellow😝

Mr president... the hole you dug is so deep and filled with lies that the whole country is drowning not the just the GOP. Do us a favor and admit you where wrong and have someone save us. The american people don’t deserve to pay for your mistakes.

Bezos’ the WP owner sent “dic pics” to Mistress. Will WP report

No thinking person believes Trump’s fake news about a crisis at the border. He knows that if he pilfers money from an emergency fund and the USA has a valid emergency-and there’s no money left to help-he is done for.

So can we open the government sowe can get back to work before they all go enjoy their weekends with their paychecks, meanwhile I will go to the food bank to get food for my kids this weekend, thankful for the food bank! foodbankmetrodc

More proof that the 'emergenct' is not one!!!! EMERGENCY = requiring IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. Something like this FAKECRISI can wait as long as he drags is out certainly isn't an emergency, it's a political ploy. That has to be why he won't challenge the courts.

Why is Schumer / Pelosi and their 'gang' afraid of funding d Wall? Why can't they wait for their own time and tell Americans what they can do in 2020? Trump has candour & integrity, and can be TRUSTED. He campaigned for what he believed

'And this time I really mean it!' (Not like the last 5 times I've threatened it)

Why isn't the Senate taking a vote?

We have a president who is clearly willing to compromise on this and other matters. Dems respond with obstructionism &personal attacks. They misinterpreted 2016 elections.

Surely in a time of “shutdown” all house members and their staff should have their pay stopped

Dems HAVE voted on funding the government, senatemajldr refuses to let senate vote

In the tradition of Jeopardy, for $200 ... Q: When is a National Emergency NOT AN EMERGENCY? A: What is a 'Childish Tantrum'? Host: Correct!!!

So, it’s theoretically possible to casually declare an emergency whenever the mood hits you? That doesn’t seem to fit the definition . . .

No GD WALL.

People are losing faith in the government. Matter of fact, breaking for the weekend demonstrates our government is losing faith in our government. Congress: override the veto and reopen the government.

McConnell needs to hold a vote McConnellShutdown . Congress is an independent branch of goverment. McConnell just want to do Trump’s bidding

IOW: his legal team told him it would not work. He would not win.

Done Voted to fund Government Your turn senatemajldr TrumpShutdown McConnellReOpenGovernment

it’s a distraction and a campaign stunt...

Do it fat boy we dare you

In other words there never was an emergency

The vote is sitting in the Senate why don’t they vote?

Is he perhaps waiting til maybe 2/7?

Uh, an emergency is by definition urgent and critical. To say he may eventually call it an official emergency is to admit that it’s a huge load of gamesmanship. It’s a scam he’s playing with too many lives and livelihoods. It’s the despicable way he’s always run his life.

Once again..after everybody has bought plane tickets or has actually left town..President About Face does a feckless 180 going into the weekend. Is he on some new drugs or something.?🍊🍕💩

Dems should do what they do best! Serve the people! Reveal each and every illegal truth about the Orange Imposter!

Trump: give me what I want or I'll burn your house down Democrats: No Trump: I will also incarcerate your children Democrats: No Trump: You won't negotiate with the greatest deal maker of all time? Fine, f*** you, the National Emergency is on!

it's SUCH a dire urgent national emergency of epic proportions never before seen, but we better wait a little while longer before declaring it /s

because there is no emergency. Emergencies require immediate action.

Oh, was that a blink? Ahahahahaha....I'm loving this shit show! 🤣🤣🤣

Real 'emergencies' are not things you can ponder and sit on to decide on when it feels good. There is NO emergency at the border.

How about you put 800,000 Americans back to work?

trump is a dying political fish flip flopping around in an ever decreasing pool of muddy water

I thought Mexico was paying for wall. Did he lie?

Declare it President Trump!!!

I like walnuts..not wallnuts!

the democrats in the Senate really want to vote. McConnell won't let them.

Wow. That was short lived. Who talked him out of this insanity? Did he realize that it would be locked up in the courts longer than he will be in the Oval Office?

He's a pußßy. He can't even fire people. trumprussia

If he's not looking to declare an emergency 'right now' then I'd say it's not actually an emergency.

I guess the national emergency is not an emergency. 🤷‍♂️

And Democrats urge him to resign.

Democrats did vote to fund.....the government.

Call Chuck and Nancy Fund the Wall Reopen the government And Stop criminal illegal aliens from destroying the lives of hundreds of thousands of LEGAL American Families. WIN,WIN

Democrats will investigate report that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to CongressBuzzFeed cited unnamed law enforcement officials who said Mueller had obtained emails, text messages and other documents from the Trump Organization to support the allegations. Mueller’s office, however, issued a rare public statement disputing that. BuzzFeed is a pile of garbage. It's shocking to see how this crap of paranoia inducing, hearsay has infested the media. And all, willingly, took the bait and spent all day smearing Trump, impeach wishful thinking... There's a serious, serious problem with journalism in America. Mueller's office's statement: 'BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate.'
