Trump: 'If I Can't Make A Deal, I'll Declare A National Emergency' To Fund Wall Without Congress

​  While participating in a signing ceremony for anti-Human trafficking legislation, President Donald Trump said he might declare a national emergency on Wednesday afternoon.

  "Mr. President, what is your current thinking on a national emergency? Why didn't you announce it last night and when might you," A report questioned.

  "Because, I think we might work a deal and if we don't, I may go that route," Trump said. "I have the absolute right to do a national emergency if I want," Trump added.

  "What's your threshold," The reporter asked. 

 "My threshold will be if I can't make a deal with people that are unreasonable," Trump said.

   President Trump has mentioned the national emergency option many times over  the past weeks.  If Trump does declare a national emergency, he would be able to fund the wall without Congress being involved. 

   Two officials from the Pentagon said they have $1-2 billion that could be given to the wall. Not only that, there are $13 billion in obligated funds from prior years that haven't been spent that could also be used to fund the wall. 

  "We can call a national emergency. I haven't done it. I may do it. I may do it," Trump said. "We can call a national emergency and build it very quickly. It's another way of doing it," Trump added.
