Acting WH Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney: “I absolutely still believe that a national emergency is still a tool that is available to the president but, he’s been candid and very public in saying, it’s not his preferred course of action.”

Been spending time with Grandkids,but been keeping up.
Wow today's proposal by our President was outstanding!
Great proposal by President Trump. Now we have Pelosi counters with a pre-prepared response! The obstructionist leader we all have known for too many years is a complete incompetent hypocritical liar. They are the problem and always will be as long as they continue with no term limits!
In the meantime...We Have A President that is not only strong but more than fair!
Let the dems choke on America First! MAGA!
God Bless You All!

... it’s not his preferred course of action

JMHO, Trump considers the EO/National Emergency route to be not-quite-within-the-bounds when he's spent so much time/energy on rebuilding trust in the Rule of Law and the rest of the Process of Governance (which the 'rats/Obama have been raping and pillaging at every opportunity).

It would certainly be quicker and more effective to simply wave at Obama's crass indifference to The Law as justification for "curing" something, but then only find that along with clearing up a symptom, we've multiplied the lack of trust/regard for the Law and Governance which is the actual affliction.

Might take a little longer to do The Plan this way (and Lord knows at my age I'd like to see it expedited) but outside of praying I'll just put my trust in The Lord, Trump and The Plan and stand by.
