Trump and His Damn Wall: At Any Cost No Matter the Source or Ensuing Turmoil

Mexico will pay nope; how about Congress, nope; okay, DHS 

(Probably U.S. taxpayers will pay — SOP for Trump)

Let's be honest shall we? Trump is out of control - way out of control and this all GOP-run Congress sits with their thumbs up their collective asses – cite below from the UK Daily Mail Online:

Trump says he could use MILITARY to build his wall if Congress won't fund it through DHS budget

Trump: “I will fund it through Homeland Security's budget, if I don't get my way and I would shut down the government to get what I want, too.” (Sic)

Seven Key Points:

1.  DailyMail.com asked Trump on Air Force One if he was considering using the Army Corps of Engineers to build his border wall.

2.  Congress has been stingy with a Homeland Security budget for the project, providing barely $3 billion and leaving another $25 billion unfunded.

3.  Pentagon officials say the Corps of Engineers is suited to perform the work and Trump has boasted about budget increases he has won for the Pentagon.

4.  Trump says: “We have two options: We have military, we have homeland security.”

5.  He also said he won't take a government shutdown off the table if DEMS on Capitol Hill keep playing hardball because of immigration politics.

6.  He believes a shutdown would be strategically and politically smart.

7.  But many Republican lawmakers are counseling patience because they fear being blamed for a shutdown in the final month of reelection campaigns.

    

My 2 cents: For our dumb, dingbat president who still does not comprehend how the congress functions on budget matters. 

Simply stated: The minority party, in this case the DEMS that he always blames when he does not get his way, DO NOT pass bills – they may help, but this GOP has the votes to do it on their own. 

The man is ill-prepared to be president and once again it shows. 

Shame on us. 

Thanks for stopping by.
