I guess if I were President of the United States and not one thing in this world mattered to me besides my popularity and my personal wealth…and if I thought the former would crumble if I didn't keep a stupid campaign promise that I made without even pondering how I could ever deliver on it…and if my aides told me declaring a national emergency was the only way I might at least look like I was trying to make it happen…
…yeah, I might declare a national emergency.
