It seems we all need to take a moment and clarify something. President Trump’s declaration of emergency regarding the border is fundamentally different from all of the other emergencies people throw around. When Barack Obama declared emergencies, he bypassed legislation to change how the United States is governed. He created new rules and orders on a whim, and the results bore trackable negative consequences.
President’s Trump emergency on the border is fundamentally different. He’s simply trying to find money to carry out laws that are already in the books. Rather than defying Congress, he’s trying to do exactly what they have demanded through legislation.
Is this clear enough? Obama made new rules. President Trump has done nothing of the sort. More importantly, he isn’t even using his declaration of emergency to take funds against the will of Congress. The money the President is redirecting to the border is already under his discretion.
This topic can feel complicated, but it really isn’t. This video will hammer these points home and show just how hypocritical and ridiculous the Democrats are. When you watch, remember that the Democrats praised Obama for his abuse of power before they condemned President Trump for far less. Enjoy the video, and be sure to share it with every person who tries to tell you that President Trump’s emergency is wrong.
