“You are the first one who has made the point that his veto would have jeopardized his military funding. If they took out the military funding after a veto, Trump would have been screwed. “


That’s just agitprop based on fantasy. Congress can not overturn the veto (if it could, which is far from a sure deal) AND change the bill at its pleasure.

The inverted priority of funding the military for national security before funding the wall is a piss poor excuse.
Funding the wall is the FIRST and foremost national security goal to stop the future democrat voters flood. If not, you can have the all the first class, hugely rich military you want, it is useless in the hands of a democrat President, Hussein Obama has largely demonstrated that.

That depends on what the military is doing at the given time, doesn't it?

We're possibly about to have a much more fundamental situation with Congress than how they vote on any issue. What happens to checks and balances when half of Congress is justifiably incarcerated?

Trump could have vetoed the spending plan and asked for changes. Congress would have made changes all right. Chop up the military budget
