1. His legal team has advised that providing a further 3 week attempt to deal with the socialist dems will secure his position regarding a court challenge to any Emergency declaration.
2. He has connected with enough Dems who realize Pelosi is bat shit crazy and owned by the left or the cartels or both and they asked him for time to work out their plan.
3. He needs 3 weeks to work out the details of a better plan that might yield even more than the funds he desires for a wall.
These emergency conditions have existed for years including the last two when he was in power. Now he adds another 3 weeks. He should have acted two years ago when he first took office. His own inaction and delays in declaring, contradict the litany of problems he says constitute an emergency.
