He's lying. There's a reason he didn't declare a national emergency. McConnell, who doesn't want a dem president declaring a national health care emergency, probably told Trump that if he called an emergency then the Senate would pass the house bill with no wall funding. The Pres. would have to use military funds for a while and then would have to provide detailed info about the emergency for any additional funding after 120 days or something.
It's such a bad idea that I'm surprised Trump didn't do it.
