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.

Here is a street fighter with
- no legislative experience,
- little political negotiation experience pertinent to the Hill,
- a Congress that either was deceptively and flatly against his agenda or wasn't yet willing to support him in anything verging on the dramatic (i.e., RINOS),
- doubt as to who of those in the WH that he could trust were actually politically savvy
- doubt as to which of those could/would work comfortably with his style of management,
...etc., etc.
Finally, you and I have little or no idea of any larger national or global problems he may have been working on.
