Gen. Barry McCaffrey calls Individual-1 a "Rogue President."

Watch retired four-star general slam Trump as a ‘rogue president’



Trump's declaration of a 'national emergency' is a farce — and it's creating a constitutional crisis.

Retired four-star Gen. Barry McCaffrey said Trump is a “rogue president” for his decision to declare a “national emergency” on the border.

He spoke to MSNBC on Friday about Trump’s constitutionally dubious declaration of a “national emergency” to raid various government budgets to build his wall that Congress has refused to fund.

“This, it seems to me, the fundamental question is constitutional abuse of authority by a rogue president,” McCaffrey said.
