Trump will have to use the DOD to build the wall.

Judges will try to stop it.

Trump: “We’re not stopping”

That’s how it’s going to play out.

Or, the wall doesn’t get built.

When surrounded you poke the perimeter, testing Reponses and finding weak points.

Trump has never stopped fighting against all the evil hordes and despite all the white-flag-waving concern trolls who have no stomach for an actual fight...they drive their sofas and claim how easy it is to win any battle while safely out of way of the bombs and bullets whizzing around.

The swamp /media complex boxed him in. They have a lot more tools at their disposal than we realized [as always it seems]

Half of FR shows their lack of understanding of Trump every time. Some never learn.

We’ve seen their game. They will repeat it, thinking it is a winning strategy. Time to analyze, reassess, adapt and overcome.

How many divisions do the judges have? If the wall is to be built, it may come down to Trump defying the courts. I have no faith in the Supremes (thank you Quisling Roberts).

Then, after three weeks of spinning tires, Trump will be able to face the cameras and say “I reopened the government. I gave them what they wanted. They said they would bargain in good faith. They lied. I have no other choice but to declare an emergency and begin protecting the border myself.”

That's the only option I see for Trump to save his presidency and the United States.

If most Americans were forced to choose between (1) having air travel and a coast guard and (2) a wall, of course they’re gonna choose the former — even though most of them also want a wall. Their choice reflects a part of human nature — preferring short term comfort — that the Democrats exploit but that discouraged conservatives like Coulter don’t recognize. But if we keep fighting this for the long haul, we’ll prevail because a better part of human nature detests globalism and multi-culturalism.

We should have a pool going on this scenario. I say this is what is going to happen... No one with a working brain cell would believe they would keep their word. The president wasn’t about to be suckered into their lie.

If we have been played and it comes to light that President Trump was always in line with the deep state, then there is only one thing left to do.

I trust this is not the case but many a dictator has come to power promising things he never actually meant to pursue.

“It might be wise to put a pin in that and see what mid-February brings. Expect the next three weeks to be filled with more of the familiar rhetoric of both sides: the President insisting on a wall, the Democrats mocking it.

Then, after three weeks of spinning tires, Trump will be able to face the cameras and say “I reopened the government. I gave them what they wanted. They said they would bargain in good faith. They lied. I have no other choice but to declare an emergency and begin protecting the border myself.”


This.

Trump is NOT caving, because to do so is to utterly doom him to losing in 2020...and this man has NEVER played to lose.

Hold tight, hand-wringers, Trump will win this. Does anyone seriously believe that he got owned by that senile old crone?

Given the last several incompetent/corrupt AGs with IQs near the boiling point of the liquid helium, President Trump needs an AG capable of going after major Demonicrats on charges of conspiracy, sedition, racketeering, and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Forget the National Emergencies Act for how and instead use the Immigration and Nationality Act. 8 U.S.C. §1182(f):

“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrant, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

Trump has spent the last two years pretending he lacks the legal authority to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. When he used this authority, through executive orders, he instantly collapsed after the first injunction from Leftist judges when he should have told them to go to hell.

Mr. Trump: Shut down the border. Use the above-cited authority plus 10 USC 284: Support for counterdrug activities and activities to counter transnational organized crime. This act authorizes the military to erect walls without congressional authorization to deter drugs from entering our country. And also, Mr. Trump, don’t ever let Nancy Pelosi get the better of you again.

You are right. Trump gets the wall built. DACA is done for. and any shutdown will now be blamed on nan and chuckie.

Win Win Win. Let nanie be delusional and think she won. She will do nothing on the wall now that she thinks she can beat Trump. Right out of Art of War playbook.

Months ago the rats offered the President full funding, $25 billion for the wall and he didn’t take it, yet yesterday he capitulated for ZERO dollars and the same DACA deal. Some deal making! Now, I love Trump dearly, but come on!
