Eric Trump said his father should declare a national emergency to build a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Democrats proposed a bill, which was passed and signed, that temporarily reopened the government for three weeks while discussions continued over President Trump’s demand of funding for a physical barrier at the southern border. The president had scuttled a bipartisan spending deal that did not include more than $5 billion for the wall, one of his signature campaign promises, which led to a five-week partial government shutdown starting Dec. 22....

I would prefer that President Trump use his authority under the Drug Enforcement Act to choose the border, therefore denying his opponents the opportunity to quash it in the courts. Horowitz has a great article about this possibility and the military stands ready to do the job.

I agree...doesn’t matter whether one agrees with what he says or not, he shouldn’t be commenting in public.

“It’s not helpful. The kid should keep his yap shut.”

Disagree. Support is support and the fact that “the kid” is on the same page as his old man - nothing but hoop.

Ivanka seems to have the liberal woman’s disease. She has compassion for those affected by a decisive action but no compassion for those being hurt without decisive action.
