Trump administration officials are reportedly contemplating a plan to again redirect billions more in military funding to pay for wall construction at the U.S.-Mexico border next year, three administration officials told The Washington Post.
The officials reportedly said that senior officials talked about a plan to pressure lawmakers to reimburse $3.6 billion in Defense Department funds at a meeting last week led by presidential adviser Jared Kushner.
The Post reported, citing officials, that the White House has requested $5 billion more for wall funding in 2020 from the Department of Homeland Security, but if that doesn't get approval, the administration will reportedly again take $3.6 billion from the Pentagon's construction budget.
A senior White House official told the Post that the discussion was “a typical project-management meeting where administration officials discussed border wall progress” and to make sure “additional needs were being assessed in the event more funding became available.”

Less talk. More block.
lol that’s a big hand :)
Trump DESERVES a big hand doesn’t he?
2020’s a done deal - who’s our guy in 2024?
You’re talking to the wrong guy.
I came out of the womb needing xanax!
I will rest easy when Trump is declared winner.
Dems will cheat on a scale not seen in world history.
An yes he does deserve a big hand but that one made me think of Fay Wray.
President Trump’s troll for liberal chumps.
What the hell are you talking about???
Think, “The Hand of Divine Providence” without which America is sunk like it would have been in 1776.
In before the NeverTrumpists claim he has not built the wall.
You mean you’re not running Jim? What am I going to do with 10,000 “Jim 0216 in 2024” lawn signs?
Hey that was good.
I wonder why we keep getting a pass for the horror that is abortion in this country.
Morgana post some horrifying but TRUE stories lately that make me feel like blocking a clinic door even if it means going to prison is what I should be doing.
Alas, I don’t have the courage.
lol
That's great, but when is Mexico going to pay for it?
Tariffs?
President Trump has a fine time fishing for liberal fools.
No more freaking wars in wind-swept, fly-infested brown hell-holes UNTIL we get our delux WALL, and I’m talking ALL THE WAY, Israel-style.
OH GREAT:
We’re deploying massive #’s of troops to Saudi Arabia, since we’re their f*cking SERVANTS.
Lovely.
Won’t THIS be fun.
Knowing that Dems will resort to massive vote fraud ...
what is Trump going to do about it?
Don’t tell me for a minute he’s not aware that the only way Dems win close elections is by cheating.
Yet it would be wise to maintain a high level of operational security at this stage of the game.
In other words, don’t blab about any planned counterattacks.
The fact that Trump is relatively silent on this issue may speak volumes more than if he were to be tweeting about it every day.
So typical of an Italian stallion, always thinking of the damsel in distress and your role and reward for savior of said damsel. 8>)
