New Definition of National Emergency

There is a new definition of a national emergency. It is now defined as the Toddler in Chief not getting his way. This is even worse than the issue of him stealing the power of the purse from Congress. This is him taking action whenever he wants in whatever way he wants when he doesn't get what he wants. The current action was already previewed when he sent troops to the border over a delusional crisis. If this new-found pattern is not halted, he will create a national emergency for whatever reason he conjures up, including losing the election. As of now, he has proven he can send in troops whenever or wherever he wants over whatever bogus claims he makes. This guy will keep pushing the envelope until he is constrained. Make no mistake, thus far, there is no boundary or law or precedent he is not willing to drive a tank through.
