Trump stood in the Rose Garden and let loose a stream of consciousness than even his supporters had difficulty interpreting. He garbled out lie after lie after lie. When questioned - he indicated that his own administration's statistics were fake news.
That was unreal. He mumbled that Homeland Security told him differently, saying something like "I know better." Drug data were the topic. Where does Trump think the data originates? Those are DEA databases that Homeland Security accesses.

He did some kind of sing-song rap about the legal process that would be underway (straight outta the mouth of Hannity).
In short, that was one of the most idiotic press conferences I have ever seen.
It's like watching a train wreck.

Maybe he's turned it into some sort of competition where he hopes to humiliate Acosta.

More ... Trump's pretty much admitting that in declaring a national emergency he was relying on the wrong data, whatever he maintains Homeland Security "told" him.
Trump outright said "I don't believe that" to the 90% POE drug entry data. That's a tacit admission the figure is so high one might question the need for a wall.
Whatever he or someone might allege about DEA data collection procedures, it appears to be the best information available.
Trump's opened the door to a Constitutional challenge which, in turn, opens the door to an examination whether or not there is a crisis.
To publicly admit you're not relying on or outright dismissing official Government statistics is a
Because my local sheriff told me that Trump is lying and they don't need help... And he is a Republican....
See unless you can show us more your story is just a story...ie noise. Let be frank. You are telling us that someone who supports Trump is supporting Trump..
You are not telling that a neutral or balanced source told you this but instead a source who has a well known agenda.....
You won't see this on CNN and MSNBC. Trump visited BP in McAllen and the Chief of that sector said they need help. I believe it's in the first 5 minutes or so.
You said you lived in the "area." But you're not on the border are you? Not one of the Texas sheriffs from the 13 border counties (there are 2 others that barely touch it) signed the letter sent to Congress last March 2018 "supporting a wall."
It may be fine with you that your southern neighbors have their property seized by the Federal government.
They, however, beg to differ. The Secure Fence Act of 2006, as amended mandates that Homeland Security consult local officials, property owners, and Indian trips in fence placement.
THIS ^^^ is what the bipartisan committee did when they brought in those who live on and police the border.
I actually care a lot about the victims of preventable gun violence. As I stated, gun control is a topic for another thread.
It's not simply about gun violence at the hands of illegals, they kill Americans with vehicles, knives, fists, etc. They shouldn't be here in the first place.

Thoughts and prayers. Also, may trump throw in the paper towels as well. BTW, too soon to make someone's death political.
Great! I hope that SCOTUS upholds it, it will make it so easy for a Democratic president to solve major problems in this Country, just think!
Poverty - National emergency
Pollution - National emergency
Gun violence - National emergency
Inadequate Healthcare - National emergency
Failing schools - National emergency
Low wages - National emergency
Voter Suppression - National emergency
I can't wait
You act like that ^^^^^ wouldn't happen anyway. Trump did what he had to do to protect this country, to hell with the politics. He's not a politician and that is why D.C. is in a constant uproar; they can't control him .
