Will he sign or not? Trump's the perennial television drama queen and loves to keep his audience waiting to see what happens. I understand the details of the border deal are about a foot high document. Don't know if he will read it or just walk out of the room if his aides try to explain it to him.


He gets bored easily and is not a detail man. He just knows his Fox shadow government and advisor team have strongly criticized him and say the President got played. A man ruled by emotion and ego. Anything could happen. One false move and his base starts to slip away.

LOL. I totally expect that in 2021, if there is a Democrat in the WH and a Democratic Congress, WC will still be saying, "Yeah, but remember when Trump beat Hillary???" It's the only thing WC has to contribute here these days.

He’s going to sign AND declare an emergency

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will sign a funding bill that will provide some money for a physical barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border and then declare a national emergency to get funding for a wall, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday.

Does he even read?

I mean, I know he can read - but is he a reader (something you would want in your leaders)? Everything I've read says the answer to that is "no".

The wall will happen because it’s already in the funding which he will sign for

The emergency declaration is for the entirety of the wall

So I guess he'll get that check for the remainder by tomorrow? LOL. I don't think any of us even knows what his declaring a national emergency will mean, except it will let him save face in front of his supporters.

Absolute worst case scenario for republicans. Donald Trump doesn't give a crap how this might impact the GOP in the future, he only cares about his ego and what happens right now.

Trump setting a precedent to declare SOE for his wall means that, if a dem takes office in 2020, they could use the same authority Trump did to take some sort of radical progressive/liberal action.

But again, Trump doesn't give a **** about how his actions now may hurt the GOP down the road, he just wants his big beautiful wall, even if it means he has to circumvent the system of government to do so.

MAJOR blow to the republican party if Trump goes through with SOE.

So he will sign a "bad bill" to avoid the shutdown which HE said he "might" do???
That's a fantastic statement. Sorta like me jumping a foot in the air and claiming I am levitating. Total BS in both cases.

I can honestly say I have never heard or seen a Human Being lie as often...and as bigly...as The Don. He makes Joe Isuzu look like Abe Lincoln.
