There are very few people outside of Cult45 who think he has the authority to use a Declaration of Emergency to build his wall.
And there are plenty of people who are pretty confidant that he doesn't have the actual balls to follow thru on his threat - to claim he has that authority.
One great Take-Away:
Even if you support what he wants to do, if you support the way he wants to do it, then you're betraying American democracy.
There is no middle ground on that one.
We'll see what we see.
I'm going to stay with my thinking that it's a fool's errand trying to predict what this particular Ass Hat POTUS is going to do - because that's his basic game.
He sets it up with, "Maybe I will and maybe I won't", and once you've predicted he'll go one way, he'll almost always go some other way - usually, picking something he never mentioned before, which catches us more or less off guard, which is how he wants it.
The thing I try to keep in mind is that there are no guiding principles in place with Donald J Trump.
There are principles. They do exist. They're lofty-sounding and noble and familiar. But everything is fungible. Everything is situational. Every "principle" can be bent and shaped in order for it to be smash-fitted to whatever immediate need presents itself.
Maybe it's because I've been binge-ing The Sopranos on HBO the last few days, but holy crap - 45* has come into pretty sharp focus for me.
