Trump Blindsides Congress, Finds All The Border Wall Money Needed And BILLIONS More
I Love My Freedom ^ | 9, 2019 | Martin

President Donald Trump just blindsided Congress and found all the border wall money that he needs — and billions more.

In a column from The American Thinker, conservative author Rovvy Lepor reveals that Congress has over one trillion dollars sitting in what he calls “unobligated balances.”

[snip] It would not only fully fund the entire wall, but it also appears that there’s nothing Democrats could do to stop Trump.

On top of that, a president using the unobligated funds to finance a project is hardly unprecedented, as detailed by Lepor in the piece above.

If it is legal....Go for it Mr. President!

Playing with semantics is so Juvenal...where are the adults in congress. The MSM is leading us around by the nose....they are the ones keeping this muddled and up in the air. Listen to your President.

Excellent. $5B for the wall with plenty left over for a few nice amenities. Like Acosta containment walls.

Help himself to the funding and say he’s just completing projects Congress undertook in the past and didn’t see through - works for me......

“it also appears that there’s nothing Democrats could do to stop Trump.”

That would be so funny - although they’d still do everything possible to find some judge to stop it.

2 minute mark for what I think is already going on minus a different construction project:

I think there are some limits on how this has to be spent, but I sure it has been ignored over and over again. There is probably a bunch of wall money left over from Obama.

A left coast federal judge would surely stop him.

But it's not the Democrats who are going to stop Trump.

It's the Republicans.

I suspect the construction/fabrication of wall sections outside of what has been explicitly ordained by the Congress, is in progress.

Then PDJT should go to the people and point out that we are being over taxed if there is 1 trillion dollars laying about

Something is wrong with Trump. Getting bad advice since he has the funds to build the wall totally and then some. What in the hell is he trying to do. Beg the enemy that will stomp him out of the White House.
