On Friday, February 15, 2019,  Crooks and Liars posted a blog titled Trump Admits Declaring A National Emergency On Border Was A Hoax: 'I Didn't Need To Do This'.

According to the liberal blog by ‘Crooks and Liars’, it was said that President Donald Trump’s national emergency was nothing but a hoax. The blog explains how the declaration for a national emergency for the building of a wall along the southern border of Mexico was not necessary. Trump confesses that the real reason he called for a national emergency regarding the wall was not to acquire funding to build it, but to fulfill the promises he made during the presidential election of 2020. The whole purpose for him declaring a national emergency, which cause the government to shut down for some time, was to speed up the process for building the wall. Money and funding were never needed nor the issue. He made this decision JUST to prove and finish a task before the end of his presidential term. To me, this is absolutely unacceptable. The president is taking advantage of our nation and conducting himself in a childish manner. No president should lie to his country and declare a serious claim such as a national emergency for something so unnecessary, such as the building of a wall. 

I believe this blog is very important to read because it informs us of what the intentions and actions are of the president. It is important for us to be aware of what the president does because we cannot allow for him to gain so much power to do basically whatever he wants. We need to be aware for the actions that are being made so that we know not to elect a person with those views again. Who leads our nation has a bigger influence than you might think.
