“The emergency mode will allow Trump to use the money not directly from the federal budget, but to take the money left over from the Pentagon. When he says that he will not use this right, then, above all, he provokes the Democrats. Those who said that the president would introduce a state of emergency in order to illegally spend money and it can be pressed for it. This would mean that it has become illegal to change budget items, and only the congress can do this, ”the expert believes.
Sudakov also noted that "in the event of such actions, Trump does not fall under the action of federal laws, but under local, state laws, with the help of which judicial investigations can be initiated against him."
“In order to avoid these investigations, Trump now says that this is a necessary measure, only extreme. According to him, if he introduces the state of emergency, the blame for this will lie entirely on the congress. He wants to bring this to the voters, shows that he will not make concessions, ”he concluded.
Earlier, Trump said he did not plan to declare a state of emergency regarding the US border with Mexico.
