President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.
“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

Well, I'd say all 535 members of the House and the Senate have failed to do their jobs, not just the ones who voted their conscience rather than their party.
As far as the President, he has failed to do his job in a number of ways. For example, he doesn't lead, he tweets. And he doesn't propose legislation, he tweets. And he doesn't work the hill, he tweets. He doesn't put forth thoughtful, responsible dialogue. Instead, he tweets what he hopes become sound bites in an attempt to dominate the news cycle everyday.
I'd say the President has done more to embarrass himself than anyone in D.C. ever could. And if you think that someone, anyone, has embarrassed the President more than he has embarrassed himself, just wait a little while. He will reclaim that mantle without effort or self awareness.
