Graham says Trump declaring national emergency 'definitely on the table'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Wednesday that President Trump is "very inclined" to declare a national emergency to obtain the necessary funds to build a border wall.

"It's definitely on the table, I'll let him tell you whether or not he's going to do it, but he's very inclined to go that route," Graham, a staunch ally of Trump, told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Trump has for weeks raised the prospect of declaring a national emergency to sidestep Congress and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The White House has maintained that Trump will build the wall regardless of the final details in a plan to avert another partial government shutdown later this week.

Bipartisan congressional negotiators have reached a budget deal ahead of the Feb. 15 funding deadline that allocates $1.375 billion for a border barrier.

That figure is well below the $5.7 billion Trump demanded during the previous record-long government shutdown, which ended Jan. 25 with a bill fully reopening the government for three weeks.

Go back in your hole igor... the only thing worse than listening to Trump spew stupid bullshit is hearing some kowtowing fool try to twist in a pretzel to justify this stupidity.
