No he didn't, he said fuck off to the Democrats who are only making an issue of the border fence to try to prevent the President from keeping a promise he made to his supporters. In Senate bill S. 744, presented by Schumer to the Senate, billions of dollars were proposed to build a border fence and every Democrat is the Senate voted for it; Obama supported it and in her 2014 book, Hare Choices, Hillary said she wished that bill had passed the House. For all of this, the Democrats richly deserve to be told to fuck off. The President's actions are legal under the National Emergency Act and there has been no challenge to the Constitutionality of the Act, so all your whining about the Constitution is bullshit.
This is the first time the act has been used to override the will of congress and to spend money that is not his to spend. This act has never been used to spend money that was specifically denied by Congress. That is what makes this time different, and what I think will see it get shot down by SCOTUS
I do have a question for you though, if this is such an emergency, why did Trump not declare this two years ago? Why did Trump not push for this funding when he had control of both the House and the Senate?
