I'm just oh you're are you called get out of here president Trump seemed to be losing

patience with the press conference about one week ago today now I'm just saying you

want should we keep this going a little bit yes indeed go ahead let me know when you

get tired and that's when you revealed this one less trick he has up his sleeve when

it comes to the border wall he wants to build have you considered using emergency powers

to grant yourself authorities to build this wall without congressional approval and second

to unhastico you have yes I have and I can do it if I want even the reporter who asked

this question seemed a little surprised by the answer so is that a threat hanging over

the democrats I never threaten anybody but I am allowed to do that yes each day since

there has been this debate can president Trump actually do this it's a debate that sometimes

the president seems to be having with himself first he said he made a clear an emergency

I made it clear a national emergency few days later I have the absolute right to declare

an actual emergency and yesterday just before he visited the border if this doesn't work out

probably I will though I would almost say definitely so which is it the lawyers have so advised me

I'm not prepared to do that yet but if I have to I will I have no doubt about it I will

when I heard Trump talking about his lawyers I realized I wanted to call up a lawyer of my own

luckily Slate's got one dolly a Lithuic and she's here to puzzle out this idea can Trump build a

wall by fiat and what will happen if he tries stay with us
