'Finish the wall'? Facing failure, Trump tries rebranding
“the big beautiful wall right on the Rio Grande” had gotten underway.
In fact, some brush was cleared
in anticipation of construction, according to a check with the Homeland Security Department.
he has shifted to declaring victory and
claiming credit for the 654 miles of fencing constructed under his predecessors
— the same former presidents he often criticizes for their border policies, as he did Tuesday by derisively referring to “our past geniuses.”

The El Paso fire department just humiliated Trump with official statement about his rally
President of the United States of America is such an unrepentant and insecure narcissist that three years into his presidency,
he still insists on lying about the size of the crowds at his rallies.
The president
wavered wildly in his estimations of the size of the crowd and
seemed very pre-occupied with the crowd size of the rival speech being given by Democrat Beto O’Rourke.
To make up for it,
he asserted that the fire department had allowed him to violate fire codes and permitted more people than the arena could safely hold to enter.
“There has never been anything like this in the history of our country…If you would say, as an example, that tonight 69,000 people signed up to be here. Now the arena holds 8,000. And thank you, Fire Department.
They got in about 10,000. Thank you, Fire Department. Appreciate it” rambled Trump.
fire public information officer Enrique D Aguilar said
“no special permission was given by the Fire Department, and
the Coliseum had about 6,500 people in it during the president’s rally —
at capacity, but well within its standard allowance.”

"art of the deal"
Great, now the other side can declare emergencies when the US Congress won't fund their policy priorities.
Tactical victory, strategic mistake.
Donald won't care. He can change sides in an instant.
Republicans will care when the shoe is on the other foot.
Same for Supreme Court nominations in the last year of the term when the President is Republican and Dems control the Senate.
I wonder if any of sycophants who can read have told him, who can't read, the godawdful, unchallengeable, kingly 100+ powers he has now?
Given DJT's piss poor record of getting his priorities passed in Congress, expect more emergencies. And more nervous Republicans.
This is a bad, bad move.
I wonder if Pelosi / Schumer have the smarts?
at least, tie itup in SCOTUS so the oligarchy s could demonstrate once again they are bag politicians in robes and the support imaginary Trash-made "crises"
Can Democrats prevent Trump from using his executive power to build a wall?
there are a few ways for Democrats to try to stop him.
Each option comes with difficulties and long odds for both sides.
Can Trump even do that? Doesn’t Congress hold the ‘power of the purse’?
Yes, Congress is responsible for deciding how your tax dollars are spent, and they are quite possessive of that power. But there are a few places Trump could get the money without congressional approval. None will be easy or popular.
Is there anything House Democrats could do?
Democrats have a bit of a secret weapon here, and it could be why Trump seems to have cooled on the idea of a national emergency. Federal law gives Congress power to rescind a presidential emergency declaration by passing a joint resolution.
A joint resolution is privileged, meaning that if it passes the Democratic-controlled House, the Republican-controlled Senate is obligated to vote on it within 18 days.
