I think the problem with the left side is they would rather our country fail while Trump is in office and that's sad on their part.

Tell me....what do you two think about the President....any President being able to to have the power of the purse?

That is to say....if Congress does not allocate money for what a President wants, he can raid another portion of the purse and get the funds there?

However, Trump went to Congress for money for what he(and many) consider a major national security issue with the border. That condition has been exacerbated with the caravans and Congress choose to ignore Trumps believe in the issue. He escalated to national emergency, which is easily in his powers and has been little used by this administration.

The Constitution gave Congress the power of the purse, not the President.

Why have a congress if the President can run roughshod over them.

That is really just a Banana Republic.

This is a much bigger deal than many of you short sighted Trumpers think.

This is one of those occasions where the president is using one of those abdicated congressional powers constitutionally given to him by legislation written and formally adopted by Congress.

Blaming Trump for their stupidity is ... well ... stupid.
