Let’s hope he approves the military appropriation for the Wall. Someone at DoD anonymously told the WP today that Congress has to approve the Wall.

Not under the Feed and Forage Act - that’s what this whole memo is all about. It gives all the circumstances the President can spend money on, without Congressional Authorization. It Was going to be invoked if there was a Govt shutdown. The President can spend money to “Enforce Treaties” and stop drugs (see post above - it’s straight from the memo) - The US has border treaty with Mexico, President can build a wall to stop drugs. I think that’s what all the tweets are setting us up for.

Another clue:

Sanders said Tuesday that Trump is still considering ways for Mexico to pay or the border wall, though she declined to provide specifics. “I can tell you that the continuation of building the wall is ongoing, and we’re going to continue moving forward in that process,” Sanders told reporters at the White House. Yet Sanders declined to elaborate on whether using military funds would actually be pursued. “I’m not going to get into the specifics,” she said, adding that the wall is “necessary to defend the country.”

They already did, when they passed The Secure Fence Act, which remains law.

You still believe the failed media, who anonymous sources are wrong 95% of the time, are credible?
