President Donald Trump said Friday he is not looking to declare a State of Emergency to fund the wall, despite restating his right to do so.
“What we are not looking to do right now is ‘national emergency.’ In many ways it’s the easy way out,” he told reporters at a roundtable with law enforcement at the White House.
The president repeated that he had a right to declare a national emergency at the Southern border.
“The easiest solution is for me to call is a national emergency, I could do it very quickly,” he said. “But I’m not going to do so fast because this is something Congress should do we are waiting for the Democrats to vote.”
Trump made his comments as many Congressional Democrats left town for the weekend.
Sen. Lindsey Graham publicly called upon the president to declare a State of Emergency on Thursday, echoing many of Trump’s supporters.
Congressional Democrat leaders remain staunchly opposed to giving in to Trump’s demands for funding for security at the Southern border as the partial government shutdown continues for the 2oth day.
“I’d rather not do it because this is something that Congress should easily do, and I don’t want to give them an easy way out,” he said. “I want the Democrats to come back to Washington and vote.”
You can't talk about anything else. It's beyond hysteria at this point. It's pathological.

I'm not Mr. TV junkie who spreads anti-Trump propaganda 24/7 thats someone else. I voted for Trump. I'm honestly, and rightfully, pissed off and disappointed at Trump right now. You may not feel this way. Killcen does. And when Killcen gets upset, then everyone here is bound to find out.

Sorry.
Mason Ramirez
He's a master negotiator who used 'the art of the deal' to make Mexico pay for the wall, the same way he's making america great again. He's a tremendous genius.
Blake Long
So, what you're trying to say is that Trump is an illiterate, uneducated, primal, childish, delusional, stupid as shit caveman with absolutely no negotiation skills whatsoever, a shitty businessman, and a lying idiot with a tiny deformed penis who cheats on his wife and built his campaign on the misplaced anger of uneducated voters who needed something to blame for their own failures?
i agree with you.
Cooper Walker
No. I'm not just blaming Trump for this. It the crooked ass politicians' fault as well. They suck just as much as Trump right now, maybe even more so. Trump is actually being very fair to them right now, just not so fair to the country at this point. I say he needs to declare a national emergency, put troops on the fucking border and allocate some military budgets to get that fucking wall built NOW.
Eli Bennett
hold on a second…. i just realized that you said people who voted for trump were a disenfranchised idiots who needed a boogeyman to blame for their own shortcomings and self-imposed failures…. but then you said that YOU voted for him…
weird
Landon Young
But thats not true.. . its not an emergency.
Nicholas Turner
Trump says it's "too easy" … well yah! Thats the point. Make it easy, stop playing games with us, and stop trying to negotiate with treasonous cocksuckers in Congress who WILL NOT negotiate.
Lucas Harris
So…. In other words, when you said people who voted for trump were the lowest common denominator, lower than welfare niggers, and so stupid that they'd fall for anything…..
you were including YOURSELF into that group ?….
really ?……
REALLY ?…..
Evan Cruz
YES IT FUCKING IS. Don't make me post those links.

Speaking of treason:
you ARE aware that Mueller's report is about to be released, and the term 'conspiracy' ith Russia is going to be in it, right ?
Sebastian Nguyen
No one said that but YOU. And many of Trump's supporters are a hell of a lot more intelligent than the communist trash that is trying to burn this country to the ground.
every survey clearly demonstrates that trump voters are uneducated white trash.
sorry…….
Gabriel Garcia
Uh huh. And WHO controls those "surveys" I'd like to ask? Likely most of them leftist NGOs and/or the corporate media.
John Gomez
your claims of 'invasion' ean nothing.
you freely admit that youve been posting that exact same drivel for years on end….
and life goes on…..
the world hasnt ended….
there hasnt been any 'national emergency' at all…
John Reyes
Today with the brainwashing propaganda that likely means people who can critically think for themselves. You realize how bad and subversive the propaganda is in the US "educational" system today? Its SHIT.
Wyatt Carter

Elijah Bell
I consider people who go to trade school A LOT more intelligent than many of the debt-enslaved dummies who graduate with a college degree and if I ran a business the trade workers would be the first ones hired. The college clowns would maybe have a job moping the floor!
Logan Powell
The type of trailer park white trash that listen to heavy metal and think THE UNDERTAKER is an amazing athlete….
Lincoln Martinez

Adrian Cook
Trust me….. I know you do….
Brayden Hall
You still haven't answered my question. You said that Trump voters are the lowest form of white trash on Earth, but in the same sentence you admitted voting for Trump.
