Mr. Speaker, let's be clear. Donald Trump's Presidency is the real national emergency. President Trump fired the FBI director to protect his national security adviser. He tried to rip healthcare from millions of Americans and destroy protections for people with preexisting conditions. He orchestrated the largest transfer of wealth from middle class families to rich families. And Trump has done nothing in the face of epidemic levels of gun violence and devastating impacts of climate change. Why is Trump lying about a national emergency at the border? He is doing it to distract the American people from the fact that he has no plan to improve healthcare, improve our schools, or do one damn thing for working people in this country. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Sherrill). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
