How on Earth do you get that from this? He's already straight up said he doesn't actually need to treat this as an emergency and now he's making that even clearer by asking for money anyway now that he's done this. To the left it's further evidence that he's full of muk and to some of the right it's going to look like he's caving in to pressure from the dems.
Unless he actually removes the state of emergency I cannot see how it looks like a cave. Now if Congress grants the full funds in a timely fashion then he has been proven wrong, that he can get the full amount of funds to properly deal with the emergency at the border with out a declaration. If they do not then it just further underscores his point.
Meanwhile there's been actual disasters that have occurred and he's not only not called an emergency but he's been outright unhelpful. On what planet does this look good for him?
If you want we can go through each one and compare them to past presidential emergency declarations if you wish.
