Trump celebrates first veto, launches 'Official Wall Defense Fund'

President Trump was so eager to drop his first veto on Congress that within the first 24 hours, his campaign sent out three separate fundraising appeals to supporters bragging about the move and asking them to donate to show their support.

Mr. Trump wasted no time issuing his veto just a day after the Senate voted to halt his border emergency declaration. The White House even held a rare veto ceremony to give the president a big stage.

He said Congress had the “freedom” to try to stop him, but he had the “duty” to counter it with the veto. He then took his case straight to voters, saying the clash over border security and his marquee campaign promise of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border will define the two parties heading into 2020.

“Liberals in the Senate chose politics, I chose you,” Mr. Trump said in a campaign fundraising email over the weekend, touting his “Official Wall Defense Fund.”

The border wall emergency as a policy is underwater in the polls. Even the president’s favorite pollster, Rasmussen Reports, has found 50 percent opposed and just 44 percent in favor of the emergency declaration.
