I suspect Trump’s new adviser (The OPM guy) knows how to get it done. Or maybe he just took Anne Coulter’s advice.

Politically might be smarter, eg if he uses money earmarked for defense, then that forces the DEmocrats to file legislation to stop him.
Smart move.

The issue is getting the Wall, if Trump does that, he wins.

He better have something up his sleeve, this is what got him elected.
If he fails to secure the border, he won’t get re-elected.

Military funding.
Army Corps of Engineers.
Let Dems try to stop it.
To: NRx
Clearly Trump will back down on the cornerstone of his presidency because he would be afraid of energizing his base by persuing a position which is highly popular even with democrats who do not hold political office.
Everybody please clap, or tinkerbell will die.

I do not trust the military to carry out orders to fortify the border. I can’t see this pack of DOD PC correct losers doing it.

He now has the congress on record as refusing to secure the border.
He’ll do it anyway, and they will have to escalate their traitorous activity if they want to stop him.
Great optics for 2020.
