printRetired Colonel Douglas Macgregor tells Tucker Carlson that President Trump has the constitutional powers and the authority—not to mention a duty—to:
* Declare a national emergency on the southern border and, with that understanding, craft an Executive Order to
* Delineate precisely what the army must do to properly repel invaders.
* Instruct the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get busy on a wall, a task that is not incompatible with the Corps’ broad Mission.
National emergencies are not rare in the nation’s history. Once declared, they have the tendency to become permanent, which will not be the end of the world, in the case of the catastrophe ongoing on the border.
The reason Trump is unaware of these possibilities? As we’ve often said—and the colonel confirms—president Trump has surrounded himself with advisers who intend to sabotage and subvert the America First agenda he promised.
By logical extension, the president is surrounded by individuals who want his presidency to fail.
Causing your dad’s or father-in-law’s presidency to fail: that’s cause for a family feud.
UPDATE: A “Grand Javanka Amnesty Bargain” is coming:
BE VERY AFRAID: "Trump's State of the Union will offer 'bipartisan way forward on immigration,'" A new, visionary call to greatness! Terrifying. I expect a Grand Javanka Amnesty Bargain for all 12M or more illegals. https://t.co/XoAE4Ltixz
