It's fun to watch you guys gloat...because when all is said and done you will be eating crow...as usual...Trump plays 4D chess and you guys get all giddy when you take a pawn only to find you placed yourself in check!
Looks like chess analogies just aren't your thing.

He ran and got the presidency on a number of things:
1) A far better than the ACA plan being in place soon after he took office. FAIL!
2) Forming an 'immigration force' to quickly remove 11,000,000 illegals from the country. FAIL!
3) That he'd build a wall that Mexico would pay for. Now you try to blow that off and blame Pelosi for Trump's inability to live up to what he promised. FAIL!
Trump could easily declare a National Emergency and order the essential workers to be paid in the interests of public saftey. If he does not use it to transfer wall funding, I don't think it would be blocked in court even in California or Hawaii.
Trump plans to build a wall in Hawaii?
Seriously, why doesn't Trump just DO THAT then?
Answer: It would NEVER hold up in court - ANY COURT.
The guy who steps up to a big public fight that he can't possibly win.
The fool de facto declared that the rules didn't apply to him. Pelosi said "Yes, they do", and made it stick.
If he'd been smart, he wouldn't have started this confrontation in the first place. But he isn't, and he let himself be maneuvered into a position with - as you correctly point out - two rather unattractive ways out. Entirely a problem of his own doing.
100% agree. Pelosi is doing the job she was elected to do.

Pay attention. What I described had nothing to do with a wall. I was saying he could order essential federal workers to be paid. Last I checked, Hawaii has federal workers.
