He doesn't really care any more, that's the really odd thing that comes through loud and clear from the press conference onward, he's let go:

Interesting big long term picture in this graph, makes it look like Trump's obsession with a wall since the days of his campaign made the idea become less popular except for riling up fans as he gained more power. Especially as Obama admin had already had some success at other methods which caused support to fall:

2/n As you can see below, the number of Americans in favor of erecting a barrier on the Mexican border jumped mightily from the 90s into the 00s. During the Obama admin, it appears to have stabilized in the upper 40%/low 50% range. pic.twitter.com/5QcM9AgzLO

Fellow Americans, just for you, the most tremendously big press conference evah by the world's greatest person and stable genius in great health,least racist expert on everything, using the best words:

If we weren’t so numb to the insanity of @realDonaldTrump, the #FAKENationalEmergency press conference today would have been enough to invoke the #25thAmendment.https://t.co/3NiuoPoKea

Here's a wrinkle I didn't see coming: The immigration hawks in Trump's base are going ballistic over provisions in the spending bill they say will totally neuter his national emergency plan. He signed the bill anyway. https://t.co/p468FnsjS0

Of course Trump barely knows

Of course Trump barely knows her. While Coulter is an occasional guest on tv unlike all the others mentioned she doesn't have her own show. She's mostly know for writing books and Trump doesn't read.

looks like she was officially

looks like she was officially fired from the kitchen cabinet approx. 9 hrs. ago but the other big 4 are still with him:

Now we know what Trump does during “Executive Time.” He knows all the ins and outs of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. He listens to 3 hours of Rush Limbaugh. He loves Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham. But as for Ann Coulter: “I hardly know her.”pic.twitter.com/nWMSelgr1H

If we're going to have some doofus named Jared running our immigration policy, I'd prefer that it be that pederast from the Subway ads.
