I’m guessing an American citizen.

For once, I actually agree with Ann Coulter.

No, the goal of a national emergency is for Trump to scam the stupidest people in his base for 2 more years.

Mike Pence called it a "profound mistake" for a president to use executive powers to bypass Congress.

Mike Pence in 2014 when asked about a democratic president using his executive powers to bypass Congress, EXACTLY what Trump is about to do:

We are going to take the measures to secure the border, that should have been done in


Reagan Administration
1986, 1987, 1988,


George HW Bush
1989, 1990, 1991, 1992,


Bill ("Slick Willie") Clinton
1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000,


George W Bush
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008,


Barak Obama

Donald J Trump
2017, and 2018.


The politicians have been given enough time to secure the border. They have failed. Now it will get done.

DHS does estimate how many successfully manage to evade current security measures today. Any idea what those estimates are? Hint: you won't hear that from Trump.

She is a bit player with her own agenda.

Ann Coulter calls that reaching across the isle.
Trying to build the Marxist appeal for her books. So

She was mentioned by Trump along with Hannity, Rush, Laura and we have yet to hear from them.

I am sorry for their loss but Trumps plan won’t change anything.

The dictator has spoken. Luckily the courts will declare this a false emergency.

How about that Constitution, eh conservatives?

And yes it doesn't matter what type of employment illegals are involved in. The American Taxpayer needs to see justice and financial restitution.

From a man who willfully employ undocumented workers, who himself may not be taxpayer, like your Imperial Leader Trump?

You didn't understand my sentence.

"Literally" was referring to the circumstances under which Trump made the statement. He literally admitted he did not need to do the action he is declaring an emergency. Since he did, indeed, make the statement, the use of "literally" is correct here.

I am guessing the point you are trying to make is that Trump's statement "I didn't need to do this" should not be taken literally. That may be a topic worth exploring on its own, but it wasn't what I was referring to with my use of the word "literally".

Perhaps this is one of the rare instances in which "ironically" would have been the right word to use.

Not sure why you had to throw a personal insult in there, but you do you.
