Trump Admits: 'I Didn't Need' to Declare National Emergency 'But I'd Rather Do it Much Faster'
Trump says he ‘didn’t need’ to declare emergency for wall
Pelosi, Schumer Joint Statement on the President's Unlawful Emergency Declaration
https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/21519/
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer released this joint statement on President Trump declaring a national emergency:
“The President’s unlawful declaration over a crisis that does not exist does great violence to our Constitution and makes America less safe, stealing from urgently needed defense funds for the security of our military and our nation. This is plainly a power grab by a disappointed President, who has gone outside the bounds of the law to try to get what he failed to achieve in the constitutional legislative process.
“The President’s actions clearly violate the Congress’s exclusive power of the purse, which our Founders enshrined in the Constitution. The Congress will defend our constitutional authorities in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the public, using every remedy available.
“This issue transcends partisan politics and goes to the core of the Founders’ conception for America, which commands Congress to limit an overreaching executive. The President’s emergency declaration, if unchecked, would fundamentally alter the balance of powers, inconsistent with our Founders’ vision.
“We call upon our Republican colleagues to join us to defend the Constitution. Just as both parties honored our oath to protect the American people by passing the conference committee bill, the Congress on a bipartisan basis must honor the Constitution by defending our system of checks and balances.
“The President is not above the law. The Congress cannot let the President shred the Constitution.”
Trump on Ann Coulter: 'I don't know her'
"I don't know her," President Donald Trump said at a press conference Friday, describing his relationship with the conservative commentator who has introduced him at rallies.
Asked Friday whether conservative media personalities influenced his policy on building a border wall, the president denied commentators like Coulter and Fox News' Sean Hannity pushed him to declare a national emergency to get a physical barrier on the southern border. The question came after Fox network figures and conservative commentators prodded the president to declare an emergency over the past few months and railed against him for ending the government shutdown without over $5 billion for the wall.
But Trump insisted Friday that the emergency declaration he had just issued was his own doing.
"They don't decide policy. In fact, if I went opposite — they have somebody, Ann Coulter, I don't know her. I hardly know her. I haven't spoken to her in way over a year. The press loved saying 'Ann Coulter.' Probably if I did speak to her, she'd be really nice. I just don't have the time to speak to her," Trump said.

So what is their beef?
Are they saying that Presidents don’t have the authority given to them by Congress to declare National Emergencies?
Or
Are they saying Presidents can’t move funds around?
From what I have read, Trump is using existing moneys that are earmarked for stopping the illegal drug trade.
So what is the complaint?
Please be specific

Trump is cracking up before our eyes. He is disturbing when he rambles like that. I think Mueller and the house investigations terrify him because he knows what he and his people have done, This is not how a president acts. He even said he relies on Fox Gnus, Hannity and Rush for his information. Then dismisses the data about drugs that is collected by professionals at the border like US Customs and Border Protection.
We are in trouble.

If Trump is so DUMB.....what does that say about the democrat elite who continue to be out maneuvered from everything to getting their ass kicked in 2016 to proving that a booming economy can be constructed simply by turning over he business of EARNING and PRODUCING to the private sector.
Again...if Trump is dumb, what does that make the asses that could not beat this simple minded reality tv star and real estate developer. Just were is the proof that Trump is dumb? His election win? His historic tax reductions, a vibrant GDP, a profiting Stock Market, kicking the ass of communist nations like Korea and China......bitch slapping the leaders of France, Canada, England, Germany......destroying a portion of Russia Air power in the middle east, bringing stability to the middle, finally enacting an old congressional act declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel (the middle east did not melt down the way the leftist claimed....no more than the stock market crashed when Trump was elected bringing about a world wide economic recession.
Indeed TRUMP is a dumbass.....LIKE A FOX.
Trump will get his wall. How? By invoking the power of his hand picked SCOTUS selections. It might take a few months (a victory for Trump at the supreme court with his hand picked judges giving the 9th circuit circus the middle finger again)……..just about the time Trump starts campaigning for RE-ELECTION. That dumb ass will then have 2 terms.

There are quite a few presidential national emergencies on the books. I believe Obama declared about a dozen national emergencies.
