“I didn’t need to do this” - Donald Trump’s “national emergency” on border security

[sarcasticcynic]

GOP reasoning:

Candidate Trump promised to build his border wall (and have Mexico pay for it, but we’ll ignore that part).

Trump won the election (despite losing the popular vote by the largest margin in history, but we’ll ignore that part too).

Therefore, building Trump’s wall is “The Will of the People!”

Reality:

61% of adults in the United States disapprove of Trump “declaring a national  emergency to build a wall along the U.S. - Mexico border”; only 36% approve.

58% of adults disagree that “there is currently a national emergency along the U.S. - Mexico border”; only 39% agree.

57% of adults think Trump is “Misusing his presidential power” in declaring a national emergency to build the wall; only 39% think he is “Properly using his presidential power.”

60% of adults think Trump declaring a national emergency to build the wall “Should be legally challenged in court”; only 35% think it “Should not be legally challenged in court.”

Finally, 54% of registered voters say Trump declaring a national emergency to build the wall makes them “Less likely” to “vote for him for re-election in 2020″; only 33% say it makes them “More likely” to vote for him in 2020.

As is typically the case in these polls, the majority opinions remain the same across most demographics, including race, gender, age, income level, education level, and geographic region. Trump doesn’t even have the support of his most reliable boosters, “Men - White - Not College Graduate.” Only the usual three groups unquestioningly side with him:

Republicans

Trump Supporters

White Evangelical Christians

Without his spray tan, wig, and a $200m dollar inheritance Trump is just your grumpy racist neighbor.

“The president has no inherent authority to declare emergencies to override appropriations laws and other laws enacted by Congress; his emergency powers are defined and limited by statute. Because no national emergency exists with respect to immigration across the southern border, the President’s Declaration exceeds the limited authority delegated to the President.”

What do you mean “no national emergency exists”? How dare you! Trump says it exists, doesn’t he? Isn’t Trump insisting that this is “A situation beyond the ordinary which threatens the health or safety of citizens and which cannot be properly addressed by the use of other law”?

“I want to do it faster. I can do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn’t need to do this. I would rather do it much faster.”

Oh.
