Trump privately presses for military to pay for border wall

[Bourbon]

President Trump frequently said Mexico would pay for a wall along the southern border as he sought the presidency in 2016. Now, he is privately pushing the U.S. military to fund construction of his signature project.

Trump, who told advisers he was spurned in a large spending bill last week when lawmakers only appropriated $1.6 billion for the border wall, has begun suggesting the Pentagon could fund the sprawling construction, citing a “national security” risk.

After floating the notion to several advisers last week, he told Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that the military should pay for the wall in a meeting last Wednesday in the White House residence, according to three people familiar with the meeting. Ryan offered little reaction to the notion, these people said, but senior Capitol Hill officials later said it was an unlikely prospect.

The individuals spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk freely about private discussions.

Taking the money out of Defense when he couldn’t get it funded. Let’s see what the RW “our military is weak” has to say about that.

What a pathetic, desperate POS fool the contards stuck us with.

He will no doubt be seen as the worst President in history even a hundred years from now.

Society will be laughing and rolling their eyes at the stupidity of today's conservative right.

No need for the border wall to be funded with military money. Just pass a tax on tacos, burritos, and soccer tickets.

So much for Mexico paying
