>>>If POTUS impounds all or part of some of the appropriated funds and returns them to the Treasury, our price goes down.
And if every penny of the $1.3T is spent this year, it’s entirely on the President at this point, correct?
Oh, of course not.
It’s totally on Congress if they appropriated that much money because they have the megaphone of the media and captive DNC affiliates to scream blue murder if he dares go against Congress. They will fight each and every impoundment, slow walk or attempt to deal with the appropriations for their faves.
See how that works?
Watch POTUS. He hates to waste $$. He prides himself on *on time & under budget* and his track record is exactly that. He did not become a billionaire by throwing $$ down a rat hole and now, on top of his personal obsessions, he is pissed. He will revel in rubbing their noses in the amount returned to the Treasury.
Also, just occurred to me: Trump designates an agency of the US Government every quarter for his salary donation. I wonder if he can donate in such a way as to facilitate the wall? He also returns the profits from all foreign Trump interests to the Treasury. Again: it will be interesting to see where the 2nd Q donation lands.
You are just looking for a way to blame Trump.
