President Donald Trump said Friday that he's considering using military resources to finish construction of his long-promised border wall instead of relying on Congress to fund the project through the Homeland Security Department's budget.
He also wouldn't eliminate the possibility of a government shutdown if Democrats continue to confound his efforts to appropriate money for the project on the U.S.-Mexico border.
'We have two options,' he told DailyMail.com aboard Air Force One as he flew from Billings, Montana to Fargo, North Dakota. 'We have military, we have homeland security.'
He was asked specifically about using the Army Corps of Engineers as a taxpayer-funded construction crew.

The President can absolutely do this as commander in chief in the interest of the defense of our nation. No one can stop him. Let me tell you why. HE ORDERS IT! And he can order the labor to do it from the military and they will do it as ordered or they will be court marshaled . I have advocated this for months. We want that wall . We elected him for the wall. We will have that wall. Now!! He promised to shut the government down. Now the bureaucrats can work all they want. But this wall is getting built. All 2000 miles of it. God bless Donald John Trump, our best President ever.

President Trump you magnificent bastard.
To: raiderboy
Since a border wall is such a patent national defense matter, the courts are without proper jurisdiction to stop it if the commander in Chief determines it is needed

No question that the our Southern border is a national security issue.

I thought the wall was already funded in the last spending bill.
That the Army Corp of Engineers would build the Wall.

To: max americana
Yes sir. If he capitulates now, the republicans get slaughtered in 60 days. If he builds that wall we win back the House and grow 5 seats in the Senate. He knows that and he is acting on it. We want the military to Defend this nation from invasion. What the hell are they supposed to do?

Every Trump supporter knows Trumps been obstructed on everything, every inch of the way by corrupt career establishment politicians and the government spooks, who've attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and frame the President of the United States.

If congress would put some money out there it would spread
the wealth around a bit and provide jobs for many people.

Yeah well, that’s no excuse dude. I hate giving obamatard credit here but he did what needed to be done to get the job done: destroy America. Trump needs to say “F*** it” and break rules.
