The border crisis is not a “national emergency,” and even Sarah Sanders knows it.

The press secretary released a statement on Twitter about the border funding bill by uploading a picture from Apple’s Notes app. "The Daily Show" wasn’t sure the form reflected the supposed gravity of the situation: “Nothing says ‘National Emergency’ like the app you use to remind yourself to get bananas,” it tweeted.

Why is Sanders using the app we all use for our grocery lists to announce that President Trump will declare a national emergency? Evidently, the press secretary was not prepared to release a statement on a move Trump had only hinted at.

The president said Tuesday he was not happy with Congress’ bipartisan bill on border security but that he might sign it anyway while looking for other ways to fund his wall. Apparently, he didn’t communicate to Sanders what this other way would be.

"The Daily Show" also tweeted that the announcement “is a pretty elaborate way to get out of Valentine's Day dinner with Melania.” But really, it’s more of a break-up letter to many members of the president’s own party.
