The only national emergency is him raping kids. Bullshit cunt of a president. Even Joe Biden was better.
Biden was the first president since the 70s who tried to enforce antitrust laws, meaning going against megacorporations to reduce anti-competitive practices.

Mamdani just brought her into his administration in NYC
Wow, what a breath of fresh air that guy is. We're truly in the honeymoon phase on him.
All true.
He also made the biggest mistake in our lifetimes appointing Garland and who dragged his feet for 4 years and let Trump get away starting an insurrection.
Yeah, that's far from the only national emergency.
Joe Biden enabled Donald Trump.
I don't get it, but your logic is usually sound.
Did Pres Biden enable Mr Trump by being imperfect, or not demonstrably adequate so people couldn't be convinced he was inadequate? Biden's unhealthy parasocial relationship with Israel was an issue, but aside from what I remember as background noise of forgettable decisions I only think of his presidency as boring and incremental improvement.
Were our expectations of so much more, in retrospect, reasonable? Yeah, we probably all hoped for more than some milquetoast victory lap for a last-term civil servant; but with the dirty money coming in, who else could survive a primary and get onto the ballot as an option?
Biden has the opportunity to arrest, prosecute, and imprison Donald Trump and choose not to go so for his whole four year term.
