“You don’t really know the Donald Trump I know.”
Many right-wing figures lined up Friday night to criticize President Donald Trump for temporarily ending the government shutdown for three weeks without having convinced Congress to fund his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Controversial commentator Ann Coulter called Trump “the biggest wimp ever to serve as president” and Fox Business host Lou Dobbs said Trump had been “whipped” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Fox News’ Sean Hannity, however, had a different take.
The “Hannity” host, who is a staunch supporter of the president and even joined him on stage at a Missouri rally ahead of the 2018 midterms, insisted that Trump still “holds all the cards” when it comes to negotiating with Congress for the wall.
Hannity claimed that Trump would simply declare a national emergency to obtain the funds if he couldn’t seal a deal for the wall with Congress during the next three weeks that the government is reopened...

I prefer Tucker, by a mile.
Is the chess match lost when a pawn is sacrificed?
The resistance will fight him in the courts tooth and nail and likely win.
Pray for our President!
PRAY!
and Thank you Sean
Okay, so Sean didn’t get the wall, but he did get dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Next best thing.
Story out today Trump can use DoD funds to build it.
Problem solved.
But will he? Or will he just keep whining?
President trump needs our support, not our criticism at this time...I believe he knows exactly what he’s doing...
He has shown in the past that he has said or done the correct thing when several FReepers have panicked...
“You don’t really know the Donald Trump I know.”

Tell that to the babies being butchered alive in New York by the same Planned Parenthood ferocious Trump was going to stand up to. The border wall pales in comparison to that failing by the Trump that I have come to know. When push comes to shove, Trump seems to be ushering in America’s darkest hour.
At least the resistance stays united as opposed to the Conservatives who go home at the slightest misstep.
Guess which one wins?
Rich, coming from Wrong-me's second wife.
The issue though is that there is now not enough time left on the clock. Trump is now at real risk making the same mistake as Obama. He’s going to completely rely on executive actions to get things done. And the next president will just reverse everything. Emergency declarations need to be renewed every year. And we are probably going to blow this year due to months of litigation in the courts.
We are never going to get the wall built in one year. A wall would take a decade to build. If it isn’t being funded by Congress, it will never get completed.
Did you put two conservatives on the Supreme Court with more to come? Trump did!
welcome to free republic
I adore Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
We don’t really know that yet. I will concede that Hillary would have given us Ruth Ginsberg 2 and 3 but at least we would still be fighting. I’m concerned that Trump’s failings will exasperate the right to the point of no return.
fact is Trump caved in this battle. He may still win the war. But it was a resounding defeat for Trump. Once can argue it was a strategic retreat, but a retreat nonetheless.
let me know when that starts, thanx
house just funded abortions in other countries. Is there no veto of this?
