After claiming he's already busy building the wall, Trump says, "We've designed a much better-looking wall that is also actually a better wall which is an interesting combination. It's far more beautiful, and it's better. It's much more protective."

Trump says he thinks "there's good chance we'll have to" declare natl emergency, but adds: "we will, at same time, be building [the wall] regardless. We're building a wall & we're building a lot of wall, but I can do it a lot faster the other way" (Trump has received $0 for wall)

TRUMP: "So we're building a lot of it. We'll be up to about 115 miles of wall, some renovated, some new, & we're going to make a big step in the next week or so prior to my doing anything. But actually having a national emergency does help the process. It would certainly help."

1. An emergency that is in no hurry

2. Apparently he has no idea of the definition of the word 'emergency'

You can plan FOR an emergency but you can't plan the actual emergency. If you do, it is pretty much something other than an emergency. Let's call it an excuse. Or a very self-serving rationalization.

6. "you can't plan the actual emergency"

That's what the Shock Doctrine is: someone plans and creates an emergency and then robs everyone while the situation is up in the air.

4. Well, he didn't make that perfectly clear.

5. So something that's considered an emergency is a good thing?

So I should welcome any heart attack I might suffer then?

7. He is right in one way. There is an emergency and it is HIM.

He is our number 1 threat to national security for multiple reasons.

8. If Democrats hadn't won the House, he would have asked for an Enabling Act

to assist the president in this emergency

9. He's actually going for "I built the wall already".

Fucking fruit loop.

10. If there was any wall being built right now.....we'd have pictures.

Why is no one asking him the location of this new wall being built right now?. How are the builders being paid?. Who are the builders?. Where are the contacts?. Where are the fucking plans?

Why is no one asking these questions?
