Poll: Trump's first address to the nation Tuesday 9p, predict outcome

[HomerJS]

Trump will address the nation from the Oval Office on the subject of his border wall. What do you think we will get from this address?

 

[UberNeuman]

The only thing to get is another beer.

National Emergency declared. Along with plenty of evidence that he's entirely unfit for this, or any, office.

If that's the case then the 25th needs to go ahead.

Your lips to God's ears.

 

[sandorski]

Somewhere between. What he says will be a rollercoaster of awkwardness, exaggerated urgency, political expediency, half/lies, blaming others, and self-felation.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I'll go with this. I won't be watching live though. I'll give it a few minutes for the anti-lie brigades to sort through the bull.

 

[K1052]

The only way out of the corner he’s painted himself into is to declare an emergency and steal $25B from the DOD to build the wall. The buildup will be a shamble of half truths, exaggerations, and outright lies.

Honestly this is the stuff that impeachment was put in the constitution for. Abuse of power perched on a mountain of lies fits the bill.

 

[blackangst1]

He'll declare a national emergency to get fence funding. Thats my prediction.

 

[IronWing]

What is this national emergency bullshit that people keeping throwing out there? There is no such animal under law. A President doesn't get to spend money in ways Congress has not authorized, period. The current shutdown shows quite clearly that Trump is aware that Congress has not authorized funding for the wall. If Trump raids the DoD budget or any other federal funds for a wall, he would be in clear violation of the law.

Such will be the inevitable court battle. Their argument is going to be pretty thin given the powers they are trying to invoke.

Even if he loses eventually you bet he’ll be taking victory laps over his “win”.

Yes, there is.

I think a victory waddle is about the best he could manage.

 

[HomerJS]

Yes, there is.

Hmmm. Go back and read what the courts did when Harry Truman tried to pull a "national emergency" in 1950

 

[Fenixgoon]

Doesnt there have to beban actual emergency, though? I imagine such an action would get smacked down by the courts in quick fashion.
Theres no 9/11, no ongoing war, nothing of the sort that is subjecting the US to any kind of state of security emergency.

 

[UNCjigga]

If he declares the National Emergency for wall funding, would he simultaneously sign a spending bill without wall funding to end the shutdown? Wouldn't it be kind of dumb to declare an emergency *and* keep the government shutdown?

Also, we need a drinking game. Tequila shots?

 

[cytg111]

So.. The last general is out the door and this orange orange is just getting started.. He is working his way up to the nuke button. Dont think he wont press it to defend himself.

 

[shortylickens]

the vote is now 0 to 16.

Shame the election couldnt have gone similarly.

Trump is triggered. EMERGENCY!

 

[itsmydamnation]

He could be quitting..........

Quitting the one job that is keeping him out of jail? Naaaah, dont think so . Unless he got evac plans to Russia og course..

.. Maybe. I would certainly agree, but likely the courts would have to decide. Congress has clearly proven itself spineless with regard to this moron.

 

[cytg111]

He is going up hill with this presser thats for sure .. What I want to know post event is what kind of behind the scenes voodoo Brad Parscale and team has been up to to sell this nation wide.. Be sure there be well placed ads and bots all over the field.

 

[TheVrolok]

Perhaps the next democratic president can declare a national Healthcare emergency and unilateral put universal Healthcare in place....

 

[nOOky]
