This cartoon really tells the story, as far as I’m concerned, of how the Trumps feel about this country. It’s all about them and what they can squeeze out of it for them. Hopefully, the law will be catching up to them soon and they will be the ones inside cages.
So, Trump declared a national emergency on Friday because he did not get what he wanted from Congress. Beside the fact that this is not what the national emergency declaration was meant for, I believe he did this to “save face” with his base. Just like hanging signs at the El Paso rally saying “finish the wall”, this is his way to placate the cult followers because he knows that’s all he’s got left and that they hang on his every word. However, just because Trump said it was a national emergency, doesn’t mean this will fly. Congress and the courts will have their say, and it won’t be in Trump’s favor.
Maxine & Congress is ready!
The first of many lawsuits:
And this is where he is trying to take the money from:
Yeah, he’s not acting like it’s an emergency!
This should be interesting, along with the 60 Minutes interview Sunday night. Perhaps Trump declared the national emergency to deflect from all the news on the campaign’s apparent conspiracy with Russia?
This falls under the category of “what the hell??”
So, that’s about it for me. Time to chat and see if we can survive Day 4 of the national emergency. More like day 759 of the national emergency that is living through Trump’s presidency!
