maybe the best way out of the current shitshow is to declare a national emergency and use unallocated dept of defense dollars on the wall instead of other projects they have in the pipeline.

LINK to Cornell Law and the statute that allows POTUS to build the wall without congress

So why didn't he do this his first 100 days in office?

Because he’d get blasted.
Try to make a deal.

This would be a last resort.

He didn't actually grasp how hateful and un American the democrat/left is?
In his defense, it is hard to believe how much they hate the country and anything that they don't agree with. It's like they're mentally ill or something?

Couple of other scenarios

1. It's possible he was unaware of this option. Which is understandable. He isn't a constitutional scholar. But you'd think someone on his staff would have let him know this.

2. He never intends on building the wall and is using it as a dangling carrot issue for his base

3. He does want to build the wall but is realizing that it's not a popular option in DC. This could explain the recent troop drawbacks. It could be a ploy to get military personnel back home for the wall. (that's just a half baked guess, but I wouldn't completely discount it - and it might explain the outrage from the left about the troop drawbacks, although I suspect it's just part of the oppose everything that Trump does no matter what outrage)

If he could do it, he already would have. Maybe he is just holding out until Vlad needs to clean some more money. It seems to be the only way he gets his projects financed.

Combo of:

a) Trump doesn’t really care about the wall that much but he knows it’s vital to his survival as POTUS now. He was about to sign another spending bill without it just last month until his base lost their shite on him.

b) Trump tried to play ball with DC his first two years instead of going scorched earth which was a massive mistake.

There is a lot of things he could do on his own. However, you generally gather more goodwill when you include other people in the process. Instead of doing it unilaterally, you allow others to share in the success. The problem here though is that one side has absolutely zero desire to negotiate, work with or share in the process. They hate the man with such irrational fervor that they don’t want to be seen as him having a hand in giving them anything they want. For example, they want infrastructure funding, but they don’t want Donald Trump being a part of any infrastructure deal. Same thing happened with DACA. He gave them everything they wanted and more and they flat out rejected it.

In my opinion, the only way for Trump to break the Democrats and force them to the table is to start doing things unilaterally. He’s threatened to but always pulled back. Now he needs to act. Once you show your political enemies that you do not need them at the table, they suddenly start wanting to be at the table because no one wants to be on the outside looking in.
