President Trump confirmed Wednesday that his administration may declare a “national emergency” to secure federal funding for border security; adding he hopes to strike a deal with Congressional leaders in the coming days.
The President was speaking with reporters following a signing ceremony at the White House when he was asked if he was still considering the alternative path should lawmakers fail to strike a deal.
“I think we might work-out a deal, and if we don’t, I may go that route. I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency if I want. My threshold would be if I can’t make a deal with people that are unreasonable,” said the Commander-in-Chief.
The DEMs in the House would have their side of a Joint Resolution passed in a hot minute and sent to the Senate where McConnell would have to take action.
He doesn’t want the Senate voting on it and putting Senators on a recorded vote with the 2020 elections coming up.
Yes President Dennison, please declare an emergency.

(Let alone Trump having to fight it in court, where he will probably lose again.)
