Speaker Pelosi lets POtuS have it again.



Clearest sign that @realDonaldTrump’s #FakeTrumpEmergency is not legitimate? The President himself says he didn’t need to declare a national emergency – it’s just a faster way to force taxpayers to foot the bill after Congress wouldn’t let him have his way.

Taxpayers will/would be forced to foot the bill in any case, right?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it sounds like she's spotlighting tRump's claims that Mexico would be paying for it, not US taxpayers.

This is Individual 1’s political emergency. There is no clear and present danger to the nation on the southern border.

His hate-filled base — most recently exemplified by the attack on the BBC journalist at the El Paso campaign rally — is already shrinking because they’re just now realizing that last year’s wealth-redistribution via tax legislation robbed them blind.

He’s clutching at straws, while the DoJ (Mueller) investigation closes in on Junior and possibly Iskanka.

National emergency, my ass!
