.MaddowBlog: Facing defeat over wall declaration, Pres. Trump gets good advice from GOP.
Two weeks after Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration, announcing plans to redirect funds to border barriers in defiance of Congress’ wishes, the U.S. House passed a bipartisan bill to block the president’s gambit. The measure is now pending in the Senate, where the prospect of another Trump defeat is very real.
“I support what the President wanted to do on border security, but I do not support the way he has been advised to do it,” Alexander said, careful to use the passive voice. “It is unnecessary and unwise to turn a border crisis into a constitutional crisis about separation of powers when the President already has congressional funding authority to build a 234 miles of border wall that he requested in his January 6 letter to the Senate.
Or put another way, GOP leaders on the Hill are effectively telling Trump, “To avoid embarrassment, you’ll need to change course.”
