Trump said Friday there is a good chance he will declare a national emergency to circumvent Congress and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
I think theres a good chance well have to do that, Trump told reporters in the Cabinet Room of the White House.
The president suggested he may reveal more details about his plan to build the wall in Tuesday's State of the Union address, saying people should listen closely to the speech.
Trumps comments provide one of the clearest signs yet he may act on his own to build the wall, as his frustration builds with congressional Democrats over their determination to block one of his core campaign promises.

Sixty percent or say declaring an emergency to build the wall is a stupid idea.

(9,202 posts)You've been bleating about the wall ever since Roger Stone spelled it for you as a mnemonic device to help you to remember to talk about all the scary brown people. Something is either an emergency, or it's not. If it was, you should have declared an emergency the day you took office, or at least the day you realized you couldn't get money to build the wall from a Republican Congress. You didn't. The courts will notice that failure when the injunction suits are filed.
