Trump Considering Declaring Wall Emergency To ‘Protect’ Troops That He Sent To The Border


It is being reported that Trump is considering declaring an emergency to build his wall to protect the troops that he sent to the border.

The New York Times reported, “To stave off a court challenge, one proposal circulating among some White House officials, including those close to Stephen Miller, the president’s top domestic policy adviser, is to claim that the wall would be built to protect the more than 5,000 active-duty troops now operating near the southwestern border or deploying there soon.”

Here’s The Real Reason Why Troops Were Sent To The Border

Five thousand troops were not sent to the border because there is any real crisis. The troops were sent there as a pretext for declaring a national emergency. The endgame has always been that Trump would get his wall by declaring a national emergency. The troops are standing around with nothing to do because Donald Trump needs to make it look like there is a crisis on the border.

The reason why there is a stalemate in the conference committee is that Democrats want to make sure that ICE is locking up violent criminals instead of kids.

Trump is going to his fake border crisis to declare an emergency in an effort to get his wall.

No court is going to buy what Trump is considering trying to sell as the reason for his emergency.

Trump is likely going to get laughed out of court, as any judge can see that the national emergency is just another poorly executed Trump con.

1. Because we all know that a military with an $800 billion budget behind it

needs protection from some unarmed, tired, and hungry migrants.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. This.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Bullshit on top of bullshit.

The stink is high. So ridiculous and dumb.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Sooo... The troops were needed to protect the border because there's no wall,

but now we need a wall to protect the troops? I must be confused.

[bdamomma]

30. This crazy POS tRump

[Fuzzpope]

4. Heads up.

False flag inbound.

[ooky]

5. Last week he said he was already building a wall.

An imaginary wall. For an imaginary border crisis. Using imaginary money.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. First he manufactures an emergency and then has to declare another emergency to defend the first one

Talk about bizarre world. Can his cult not see through this?

[RKP5637]

10. His cult is the same as him and they scratch each others back. No way can they see through

anything.

[jaysunb]

7. We're speeding toward impeachment. n/t

[RKP5637]

[RKP5637]

8. Thank god for our brave president. Those children and tired people pose such a major threat to our

military, the most powerful in the world.

16. AZ border town demands feds remove razor wire

NOGALES, Ariz. - City officials in the Arizona border town of Nogales are demanding the federal government remove unsightly razor wire that was recently added to the border wall separating the city from Nogales, Mexico.

On Wednesday, the City Council passed a resolution condemning the wire, saying it is “only found in a war, prison or battle setting” and has no place in the city, Nogales International reported ...

17. Go big or go home!

He might as well say there's invisible aliens from Mars at the southern border who want to eat us for brunch and they have germs. GERMS!!!!!

18. The only "emergency" is Donald Trump is still in the White House

Falsely declaring an emergency should be an impeachable offense. If the Republicans would have wanted him to have his wall, they would have at least tried to get it through the last Congress, and not one bill authorizing a wall was ever brought into Congress.

23. It's rather like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, isn't it?

19. Border 'war zone' looks like a police state

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB) officer shot the driver of a vehicle attempting to cross into Mexico, in a border city where local leaders have demanded the removal of barbed concertina wire recently installed on the border fence in town.

Authorities say the 21-year-old U.S. citizen who was shot and wounded by border protection officer is in critical condition in an Arizona hospital. A passenger in the vehicle, which crossed over the border into Mexico after the driver was shot, and the offier who discharged his weapon, were unharmed during the incident.

A CBP statement said the man was shot Thursday night in Nogales, Arizona as he accelerated the pickup he was driving toward Mexico, but New Jersey progressive leader Lisa McCormick questioned, “When did driving a suspicious vehicle become a capital offense in America?” ...

25. It IS a Police State for Many Hispanics

This is a police state for many Hispanics who live in fear that they or someone in their family will be whisked away to an ICE prison at anytime! This happened to my landscaper after being here for 29 years. Our neighbors and friends sprung into action and we got him out on bail after helping him find a lawyer! Some people in this country leave for work wondering if they will be sent to Mexico and not see their children for years!

20. AZ congressman calls for removal of border wall wire

BY KTAR.COM
FEBRUARY 8, 2019 AT 2:45 PM

... U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva said in a letter to the heads of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense that razor wire that covers the entirety of a downtown Nogales border wall is a safety hazard to residents and violates the town’s code.

“The town’s code prohibits the use of razor wire except in industrial areas and storage parks, and when used it must be at least six feet above the ground,” Grijalva wrote.

“The razor wire along the border wall is ground level and would cause serious injury to anyone who touches it” ...

“Forcing them to act as a photo opportunity to reinforce the false narrative of rampant lawlessness at the border promulgated by the president is nothing short of ridiculous,” the letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan read ...

32. so now we

have barbed wire and prisons for children when does it stop?????

We have evil bastards in that WH. Who don't belong there.

[JohnnyLib2]

21. Atrocious

and stupid for starters.

[spanone]

22. This entire bullshit 'wall thing' is a fake president making false claims

it's entirely of his making.

from the initial wall to the shutdown to a possible 'emergency'

1000% avoidable.

[No Vested Interest]

24. Can't we send more troops to protect the troops?

(Sarcasm)

[Blue Owl]

26. Just give it up, fucko...

Jesus Christ, could this fart-weasel be any more obvious that his "emergency" is completely fabricated and unnecessary?

[pangaia]

27. "Stephen Miller, the president's top domestic policy adviser," LOLOLOLOL

"No court is going to buy what Trump is considering trying to sell as the reason for his emergency. "

Keep in mind, there still seem to be enough honest courts left to protect us from this sick monster. But their number seems to be dwindling fast..

[bdamomma]

33. that's

Mr. Zero Tolerance. (Miller)

[2naSalit]

34. You can tell by the smell of it.

Pretzelogik.

[Izzy Blue]

28. He's one sick bastard.

[bdamomma]

31. two sick bastards

tRump and Miller.

[rownesheck]

36. here's an idea...

let's not build a wall, but tell the trumpers that it's being built, we're rounding up all the illegal brown folks, and we're cracking down on any attempts to cross the border. Oh, and that Mexico totally funded the entire operation. They will believe it because

1. They will never pull themselves away from watching whatever truck and tractor pull/nascar event they are watching on tv to verify it, and...

2. Their rascal scooters won't make it that far.

My apologies to any DUer's who watch truck and tractor pulls or NASCAR or have a rascal scooter. Of course, you guys are ok cuz your love of truck and tractor pulls, nascar, and rascal scooters don't come with the vile filth of hatred embedded in them. Hell, i watched a damn hockey game the other night. Shows you my intelligence level.

My apologies to any DUers who are fans of hockey...

[brooklynite]

37. That would be a huge risk for the inevitable Court case...

[maxrandb]

38. The media complicity in this shitshow is staggering

they need to stop reporting on his fucking wall like it's a real fucking thing!

The entire idea that we are going to build a fucking wall...THAT THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO PAY FOR, is such a fucking fantasy that journalists that report on it like it's a real fucking thing should be sent to a fucking mental institution.

The fucking orange prick might just as well have promised to give us all Unicorns that poop Rainbow Sherbet.

With our fucking journalistic "standards" today, they'd be reporting; "what kind of compromise are the Democrats willing to make to get Unicorns that poop Rainbow Sherbet"?

Hell, Speaker Pelosi could say; "There's not going to be one fucking penny for Unicorns that poop Rainbow Sherbet in the budget deal", and the fucking media would accuse her of being "unwilling to compromise".

I'm so fucking sick of the fantasy shit coming out of this fucking White House being taken fucking seriously.

Every GOD DAMNED person in America knows the Donnie Short Fingers should NEVER be taken seriously.

America knows that the only fucking impact Donnie Shit for Brains should have on your life, is maybe...maybe a brief turn of your head towards the TV when you hear Access Hollywood run a 10 second story about which underage teen model he's trying to sleep with...and even then, America's only reaction would be..."Damn, I thought that MFer was dead"
