He declared the border situation a national emergency so he could defy Congress.Pentagon shifting $1.5 billion to border wall construction
House passes plus-upped disaster aid package
"he House passed a $19.1 billion disaster aid package to help victims of recent storms and flooding rebuild, with the price tag growing by about $1.8 billion on the floor through amendments to add funds for repairing damaged military facilities, highways, levees, dams and more."
The military found 1,5 billion that ot did not need to build the wall while they were in Congress begging for 1.8 billion more to repairs from hurricane damage.
(Sometimes I forget how uninformed Trumpettes are as they continually whine for links on what should be common knowledge)
Stupid is not knowing how federal appropriations and budgets work, that's the slot you fit nicely.
.
This from a person who thinks the President can defy Congress & take funding budgeted to the military & use it for other uses top placarte his feeble minded base.
The law gives him the authority to do exactly that, within limits, I'm not aware he's exceeded those limits. If he does, get back to me.

It is an emergency dumb ass, and he acted within the law. If congress doesn't like it, they can change the freaking law.
