Trump tweets time lapse video of powerful wall as Democrats outraged at national emergency Daily M
President on Wednesday tweeted a time lapse video of a portion of his border wall being built in New as Democrats remain outraged over his declaration of a national emergency.
We have just built this powerful Wall in New Mexico, Trump wrote with the 24 second video he tweeted. Completed on January 30, 2019 – 47 days ahead of schedule! Many miles more now under construction! FinishTheWall
The wall is constructed of steel slats. The video features workmen clearing the ground, followed cranes placing sections of the wall into upright positions.

While Trump defends his border barrier, Democrats remain furious that he declared a national emergency to get the needed to finish its construction.
Kirsten Gillibrand, whos seeking the 2020 Democratic nomination, said Trump is spreading a hateful message with his building of a wall.
Democrats have funded border security for decades and so its not a question of not wanting to keep the country safe, but what President Trump wants to do is build a medieval style wall out of concrete and one that will destroy not just the community but the environment, she said.
And it is a hateful message. I mean hes trying to create a picture of division and hate and derision. And thats what Im so offended by: the fact that hes fused this kind of racism in, in his words and actions is just troubling, she added.
Earlier this week she said the presidents national emergency was manufactured.

Most of the 2020 presidential candidates are separating themselves from Trump and his wall.
Republicans wouldnt have tolerated this if Obama did it, Sen. Cory Booker told at a campaign event in New Hampshire. And they shouldnt tolerate it when Donald Trump is doing it.
Sen. Kamala Harris said this was a crisis of the presidents own making.
This is a crisis of his own making because it was a campaign pledge that took heat and propelled him to victory, she said at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. He feels the need to keep reciting what is a lie.
Meanwhile, Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Joaquin Castro are drafting a resolution that would block Trumps declaration, reported.
Castro plans to offer it on Friday, Reuters reported.
Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris accused Donald Trump on Tuesday of abusing his powers and lying the effectiveness of a border wall at stopping drug smugglers

So far, 92 lawmakers have signed on and House Democrats could push it through the legislative process to have on the House floor by mid March.
If both the House and Senate passed legislation stopping Trump, it would have to go to the president for his signature. He is likely veto it. Overriding Trumps veto would require a two thirds vote in both chambers.
Trump declared a national emergency to build a border wall his most prominent campaign promise after he failed to get Congress to appropriate the dollar 5.7 billion he needs to build his wall along the 2,000 mile U.S. Mexico border.
Congress appropriated dollar 1.375 billion that Trump can use for enhanced fencing but specifically did not fund a border barrier.
The president is cobbling together the rest of the money through a patchwork operation that has him taking dollar 600 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund and dollar 2.5 billion from an account within the Department of Defense that is used for counter drug activities, in order to build his wall. Another dollar 3.6 billion will come from DODs military construction and facility improvement funds.
On Monday, 16 states sued Trump over his decision to declare a national emergency to obtain funds for building his wall along the 2,000 mile U.S. Mexico border.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California came just days after Trump invoked emergency powers on Friday after Congress declined to fulfill his request for dollar 5.7 billion to help build the wall that was his signature 2016 campaign promise.
His move aims to let him spend money appropriated by Congress for other purposes.

Joining in filing the lawsuit are the attorneys general of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Virginia.
Additionally, three Texas landowners and an environmental group filed the first lawsuit against Trumps move on Friday, saying it violates the Constitution and would infringe on their property rights.
The legal challenges could slow down Trumps efforts to build the wall, which he says is needed to check illegal immigration and drug trafficking, but will likely end up at the conservative leaning U.S. Supreme Court.
In a budget deal passed by Congress to avert a second government shutdown, nearly dollar 1.4 billion was allocated toward border fencing.
Trumps emergency order would give him an additional dollar 6.7 billion beyond what lawmakers authorized.
