You might be a few steps behind. He has been saying Drugs are pouring across the borders in alarming numbers since he election. DOD spending on the wall language was slipped into the last $700 billion defense bill. He declared a drug crisis a national emergency in December. On Friday he sent Congress a letter taking about 145 billion (if memory serves) from the just passed omnibus and reallocated it to the national emergency. Now from his tweet it seems clear that he is using the military to help stop the national emergency . (He added to prevent enemy combatants from entering the country for good measure). It seems to me that this has been the strategy for almost a year. If the Dems start crowing about that tweet you’ll know they are catching on. This will continue to play out but make no mistake; Trump hasn’t “thrown us under the bus”

TY for your summary. Put into perspective like this, it is masterful ;)
If so, he's gotten good advice. I will continue to pray.
Is that what he means when he says the $700 & $716 Billion dollars for the military?
I think/thought the bill gave the military $700 Billion. Another $716 Billion equals $1.4 Trillion I think.
Essentially the whole budget?
Am I lost here and need more coffee?
