    Trump says he is considering calling a “national emergency” to construct the border wall without congressional approval. “I am allowed to do that,” president says.

        When he starts talking about a National Emergency it's time to shut him down ASAP! Everyone needs to read what he can do if he does that! Someone needs to answer the question: can he do it without Congressional approval. He will stop at nothing ~NOTHING!

        NOT a national emergency. What a sick joke this has become. His obsession has become temporary loss of income and severe hardship for almost a million federal employees. It's a disgrace.

        This wall is his only chance. If he caves, the base is gone and R's have no reason to protect him. The Machiavellian in me thinks this might be McConnell's plan.

        Don’t forget that the wall went from concrete to concrete & steel parts. Unsurprisingly, the only steel mill that can make the beams is a Russian owned mill in Pa. Trump trying to divert the money to pay off part of his debt to Putin? Would you be surprised? I know I am not.

        Article 5 of the bill of impeachment: abuse of power to call a national emergency.

        CHECK and BALANCE him now. He's threatening to use the military. He's threatening to consolidate power and go against the will of the American people.

        Has anyone told him he can't put the TRUMP logo on the wall? That may change his mind about the need for a wall.

        No he can’t. He will try but he will be stopped before he can actually do this. Guarantee he will be stopped.
