That is just about the opposite of my take-away. I believe that he EXPECTS the Dems to be duplicitous.
He reiterated that the southern border WILL be protected regardless of what the Dems say or (don't) do.
This takes away one of the Dems biggest arguments as the Federal workers will get their back pay.
I also got the impression that he wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger on declaring a national emergency.
My first CO said something that stuck with me. He said, "When it is not necessary to make a command decision, it is necessary not to make a command decision." If you make a decision that commits the command to a course of action before it is necessary, the situation may change to where your decision becomes the wrong thing to do.

“Trump still has the option to shut down the govt again.”
That’s the thing - he won’t need to.
This is what all the soy pissers on this board are missing.
If he declares a state of emergency and builds the wall, then why keep government closed at that point?
The failure will be completely on Congress. DJT alleviates the temporary suffering of all those very essential government employees, and gets his wall built after Congress fails to act.
Let’s see who leaves town now. DJT can go anywhere he wants. The only deal that matters is now the deal of record. Nothing left to negotiate.
I think it’s brilliant, but what do I know.
3 will get you 2 that RBG is already in an urn somewhere too. That’s going to happen in this timeframe, and China is on the ropes. Their economy is sinking fast.
Nancy really does not want that to happen. Now it can!
I was just about to comment on that one, reed.
This SOTU will now be beyond huge. AND maybe still time to squeeze it in on the 29th.
How can Nancy pants stop it now?

That was really funny, it made me laugh out loud.
Maybe some people don't understand you, and I would not claim to, but I certainly find you very funny at times, and I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
Hat tip for keeping me smiling!
She can’t stop it now! Not check mate yet, but the Queen is in play.
three weeks will be just enough time for the 10,000 migrants to arrive at the border.
chaos! water cannons! DJT suggested today that they be released only in the dem enclaves!
Trump still needs funding for a wall in a bill. If Trump has to pull the trigger for the emergency thingy it will be immediately challenged in Court.
Oh planning started last year. All they have to do is fine tune and do the final walk throughs. I’m sure the speech was canned a month ago and just has a few lines left to see what happens over the next week. If it doesn’t happen I think that will say even more about how F’d up Congress has become.
I think it happens on schedule and is likely one of the most viewed of all time. Now what surprises are coming I have absolutely no clue.... but that’s ok by me.
Trust the plan.
Military orders do not require funding beyond what has been appropriated by Congress for the military. It’s a military order, which means its not going to be enjoined by a judge either.
The man isn’t stupid.
It’s like dad telling you, you have one more chance to knock it off or you are toast!
and being an “emergency” he’ll request the SC make an immediate ruling...
Despite what Roberts thinks about Trump or Obama judges, I don’t put anything past any judge appointed by Obama.
MSM keeps mentioning cave.
Do they mean Trump?

That’s if Roberts doesn’t join with the liberals and make it go through all the Courts first. That would take years, just like DACA.
Why would you want that?
Jeeze! I want him to knock it off, write up a crisp little report exonerating the President and his campaign of collusion with Russia and go back to playing golf.
If Mueller indicts Don Jr. then all hell will break loose. Trump's final two years will be destroyed by him having to focus on defending his family, and some Socialist Dem will probably win in 2020.
The best thing for both Trump and the USA is to bring this horrible side show to an end ASAP. The Stone indictment is completely ridiculous, gratuitous, unwarrented, destructive , petty, vindictive, stupid and wrong.
No mas!
