Mulvaney: Trump can move money around to get wall funding
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says that President Trump will pull from several pots of money to fulfill his pledge to build a Southern border wall, indicating the White House is prepared to accept a deal from Congress that doesnt fully meet the presidents full $5.7 billion border request.
Well take as much money as you can give us and then well go off and find the money someplace else, legally, in order to secure that Southern barrier, but this is going to get built with or without Congress, Mulvaney said on Fox News Sunday.
The president is going to build the wall, he declared.
Mulvaney said there is money that he can get at and is legally allowed to spend, adding all of this is going to be legal.
He said the president can repurpose some federal funding without declaring a national emergency but didnt rule out the possibility that Trump may still declare such an emergency to give his administration more flexibility.
Any president can do this, Mulvaney. There are certain funds of money that he can get to without declaring a national emergency and other funds that he can only get to after declaring a national emergency.
The whole pot is well north of $5.7 billion, he added, referring to the full among Trump has requested from Congress to build the wall.
Mulvaney noted that presidents have declared 58 national emergencies since the National Emergencies Act was passed in 1976.
This is not a case, Chris, as many folks think it is of the president just not getting what he wants [and then] so just going off and magically declaring a national emergency and getting all the money he wants, he told Fox host Chris Wallace. There are certain things that every president must do in order to trigger the rights that he has to sort of move money around.
Mulvaney acknowledged, however, that many Republican lawmakers dont want to see Trump declare a national emergency and that the president himself would prefer to avoid this controversial option.
The president doesnt really want to do it. Thats why weve had to go through the shutdown. Its why hes let Congress do what theyve done the last three weeks, he said. He would prefer legislation because its the right way to go and its the proper way to spend money in this country.
But if that doesnt happen, the president perceives his number one priority is national security. He will then look at the national emergencies act as a way to do his job, he added.
Hint, use “lawfully” instead of legally.
What a pathetic and incredible waste of taxpayers’ money. However, I am sure the “elite” and fascists in those countries gladly steal it from their people.
so:
a. will settle for less than 5.7,
b. won’t declare “national emergency”
As Snn Coulter says, when Trump bombed Syria, nobody in the media or Congress said, whered he get the power and money to do that? Its only when hes defending American Security at the border that these questions get asked
let’s get busy
Also do not have a problem with declaring a national emergency— on the basis of chi-com produced, mexico-transiting fentanyl and human trafficking performed by the Drug Cartels and criminal Mexican authorities on the take.
Declare it as so. Fund and build the wall anyway. And, the declaration of a National Emergency (in a time of War, which is still legally in Place) and also activates and enforces ALL Executive Orders as pertain to the “Profiting off Human Rights Abuses”.
To Wit: all parties so profiting are indicted and tried in Military Tribunals. Just as FDR tried the Nazi infiltrators to the US— and hanged them, or, as FDR and CA Chief Justice at the time, Earl Warren (an FDR man if there ever was one) rounded up Japanese Americans and put them in camps— also seized and never returned their titled lands. We are at war— Carry it on, and in so doing remove the pestilence of Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, the Clintons, obamaumao and his entire holdover downline and gang members.
Or, would that freak out the “street people” and their national Party— the demonrats?
Our southern border invaders would take cutters and torch to that in a thousand places in the first week.
You have to remember as well that Democrats have passed and declared vast areas as Preserves preventing motorized patrol. That is pretty hard to defend with horseback patrol.
Wall Funding Ping
Mulvaney was right there with Linda on the 2013 Amnesty. Sad to see these two running the show.
Trump will complete the wall and then declare a National Emergency to end Sanctuary Cities. Ah, what a dream.
Controversial? Its only controversial to the globalists, cucks, and Fake Americans. I would prefer to see Trump shove an emergency order down their throats, just like Obamacare was shoved down our throats.
I’m sick and tired of hearing these damned stories. JUST F%@?ING DO IT!!!!!!!
The president should not say another word about the wall. He should go ahead and build it and IGNORE the democrats.
Amen!
If President Trump starts the wall now, it's still a win. Friday was supposed to be the end of negotiations. If he waits any longer, he'll never be re-elected, and the dems will be able to nominate whomever they want.
Do I interpret correctly that only 1 1/8 billion goes to our own hemisphere -- and none of that goes to Mexico?
I find that to be surprising -- and a seeming explanation of why we have so little leverage toward stopping the criminal invader onslaught...
Again, thanks!

COOL! And they built it in record time!!
