Most intelligent people know Trump is bogus to the max. Besides being a fraud (Fred made the money) a serial liar (6420 as of Nov 18, 2018) and alleged sexual predator, he has shown no ability to govern in any way, shape or fashion.
With this being said, he does have charisma, has made a ton of money for the "press" and understands the basic fact that 40% of the populace supports him no matter what, particularly when he sticks to his guns centering on issues like the THE WALL a 5.6 billion dollar barrier "desperately" needed, in his words, to keep out the ever increasing horde of terrorists, drug dealers and low lifes invading the country 24/7, which costs this country hundreds of millions of dollars every year, something that cannot continue and will not continue when the wall goes up.
Thus far, the end result has been ...
1: A Trump imposed partial government shutdown impacting 800,000 workers including these departments:
-Department of the Treasury
-Department of Agriculture
-Homeland Security Department
-Department of the Interior
-Department of State
-Department of Housing and Urban Development
-Department of Transportation
-Department of Commerce
-Department of Justice
And 2: The dems not giving in to the $5.6 billion price tag.
End result: Trump possibly declaring a State of Emergency to ostensibly force the government to build the wall without congressional approval, an act that should warm the cockles of one's heart given just how much additional power the chief executive instantly accrues if he pulls the trigger and does the unthinkable, something not thought possible until now.
The moment the president declares a “national emergency”—a decision that is entirely within his discretion—he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on his authority.
But will they? Unknown to most Americans, a parallel legal regime allows the president to sidestep many of the constraints that normally apply. The moment the president declares a “national emergency”—a decision that is entirely within his discretion—more than 100 special provisions become available to him. While many of these tee up reasonable responses to genuine emergencies, some appear dangerously suited to a leader bent on amassing or retaining power. For instance, the president can, with the flick of his pen, activate laws allowing him to shut down many kinds of electronic communications inside the United States or freeze Americans’ bank accounts. Other powers are available even without a declaration of emergency, including laws that allow the president to deploy troops inside the country to subdue domestic unrest.
Lastly ...
“The permanent lie is different from the falsehoods and half-truths uttered by politicians such as Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. The common political lie these politicians employed was not designed to cancel out reality…Clinton did not continue to pretend that NAFTA was beneficial to the working class when reality proved otherwise. Bush did not pretend that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction once none were found…The permanent lie is not circumscribed by reality. It is perpetuated even in the face of overwhelming evidence that discredits it…The iron refusal by those who engage in the permanent lie to acknowledge reality, no matter how transparent reality becomes, creates a collective psychosis.” - Chris Hedges
