What did we just watch?
If you could decipher even half of what Trump said in his national emergency declaration speech Friday morning, well, congrats!
Trumps national emergency declaration was a roughly 25-minute-long unhinged rant, in which he interspersed dark and often false stories about crime at the border with braggadocios chatter about how the economy, stock market and relationships with other nations are doing so well under his watch.
Within his chaotic remarks, Trump attempted to talk about how the wall will pay for itself, but he never actually explained how the wall will pay for itself because he totally veered off course into defending Customs officers.
We would be able to make up the cost of the wall just in the cost of the fact that I would be able to have fewer people, we wouldnt need all of this incredible talent some of whom are sitting in the first row, Trump said. We would get thousands of law enforcement people including border patrol you put them in different areas doing different things.

Hey Right wing majority US Supreme Court if you were listening and watching this clusterfuck in real time, like I did, until I changed the channel, I couldn't bear it anymore, because I am sane.
Maybe just maybe you should use this tape of malignant narcissistic psychopath as evidence that anything, and I mean anything that he does should not be taken seriously and that you should recommend that he seek help with a padded walls......................after he he is convicted for treason........................because this news whatever you want to call it, it was a show in absolute insanity...................in real time...........................
