If White House and Congress fail to reach a deal then President @realDonaldTrump must act through emergency powers to build wall/barrier.
@realDonaldTrump Question: Can states ask federal government to help secure a broken border that is allowing harm to be done to their states?
@realDonaldTrump Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump have all sent troops to help secure the border in the past.

What’s the difference between troops securing the border and troops constructing barriers to secure the border?
@realDonaldTrump I’m hopeful we can reach a deal between President Trump and Congress, which would be the best way forward.

As currently constructed, I cannot support the House-passed resolution calling for the release of the Mueller report.
However, I would agree to the resolution with a simple change –
-- it be amended to call for the appointment of a Special Counsel to:

* Investigate alleged misconduct around the handling of the Clinton email investigation.

* Investigate the abuse of the FISA warrant process against Mr. Carter Page.

I appreciate the effort by President @realDonaldTrump to reach a peaceful conclusion to the North Korean nuclear threat.

It’s better to walk away than sign a bad deal.
@realDonaldTrump There is only one good deal: the complete denuclearization of North Korea in return for security guarantees and economic assistance.
@realDonaldTrump I am encouraged that there are plans to continue talking.

We must not go back to the status quo.

If negotiations fail, it would be time to end the nuclear threat from North Korea – one way or the other.

We had a great presentation from @VP Pence and his team regarding the emergency declaration and the need for additional spending to protect our southern border at today's Senate Republican lunch.

#BuildTheWall
@VP In 2014, President Obama declared a humanitarian crisis at our southern border because 120,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended.

As of today, we have already apprehended 120,000 in Fiscal Year 2019.

The problems of 2014 are only getting worse.
@VP For years I have worked across the aisle and with any willing participant to reform immigration.

During this time, I never heard any Democrat – in either the Senate or House of Representatives – say there was NOT a crisis at our southern border.

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern...
This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history.
Contrary to CNN’s assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters...

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.
