Trump says he could invoke emergency powers to build a wall without Congress
"WASHINGTON — President Trump floated the possibility he could declare a “national emergency” in order to build a wall on the southern border during a freewheeling press conference at the White House on Friday".

The Trump administration is giving its senior employees $10,000 pay raises while 800,000 federal employees are going into their third week on furlough and another 400,000 are working without pay because of President Donald Trump’s partial government shutdown over $5 billion in border wall funding. The president also passed an executive order this week denying federal civilian employees a cost-of-living raise.
Cabinet secretaries, deputy secretaries, some senior officials, and Vice President Mike Pence will see pay increases beginning Saturday, January 5, according to the Office of Personnel Management
That is a sure way to get votes!!
Trump told us over a hundred times he is the greatest negotiator, in the world, he knows more about how to make business deals than any of the CEOs; he claimed to be is smarter than all the generals in the military; he bragged about knowing more about construction & wall building than all contractors combined; he said he can influence every leader in the world to do what HE wants - so where is the budget, the blueprints for the wall; the financial agreement with Mexico; the support of all the leaders & the generals and why does he need to shut down the American government, when he told us over a hundred times that Mexico would pay for the wall. Perhaps instead of giving the wealthiest people & corporations huge tax cuts, he should have taken the trillions of funds he gave away and used it to build his wall. The ONLY areas Trump is an expert in is having dozens of businesses fail; filing bankruptcy on six hotels & casinos & being involved in almost 3800 lawsuits.
Maybe it's about time for Congress too declare a national emergency and invoke the 25th.
This clearly shows Trump and most likely a few of his closest swamp monsters distributed propaganda in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras and handed out money to enough people to get them to travel to our borders. Trump hoped that by creating an image of an invasion, the Republicans would keep the Senate and House. Now, he's saying he can use his powers to declare a National Emergency in order to get the funding for his wall or fence....whatever he wishes to call it. Follow the money...there's a reason he is so desperate to build this wall\fence. Maybe he needs the money in his Russian bank account to pay off excessive loans or maybe a few individuals that might actually be able to prove he was and is very much involved with Russia. Trump has a hundred if not more shell companies.
This is getting way out of control. The emergency at the border is man-made by the President and the Republicans. It is time the Republicans try to join the Democrats for sake of the country. If the President tries to use emergency powers which this is clearly not. It could topple his presidency and force the 25th amendment.
This is showing signs of being set up for 2020. He knows he is going to lose the election come 2020. This way he can say that there is a national emergency and remain president.
Republicans, This is your president. I hope you're proud. With the way things are looking, the little orange dictator wannabe is may be about to become just that.
And for those of you who think it's only going to be 5 billion, I have a vast wetland in the Mojave Desert to sell you.
