On Friday, in a move that most commentators viewed as a desperate attempt to prove to his base he was still fighting for his promised border wall, President Trump declared a national emergency.

The national emergency was a necessary step to be able to say he’d done it all: averted the impending shutdown, skirted Congress, and made a move to get the funding he needed for his wall.
