Next budget battle-Trump's Presidency at stake?

Posted on 05/23/2017 12:20:51 PM PDT by TakebackGOP

If Trump doesn't demand a border fence in the next budget in September and doesn't fight Ryan and McConnell, then he won't drain the swamp or be different from past presidents. A wall will never be built if it's not in the next budget. He needs to reign in spending, along with ending sanctuary cities, birthright citizenship. People on here said that he shouldn't have fought the last budget.

The one thing absolute with any budget fight is the Uniparty has enough votes to overturn a veto. Good luck DT.

Nonsense. We can get the Wall completely apart from the budget.

Didn’t you notice the $20b in Saudi “infrastructure”? That can be done as a direct grant from SA to TX for the Wall.

I still stand by my belief, there will be no wall.

Congress will never allow it and Trump cant do a damn thing about it.

Then in 2020 they will run against Trump attacking him for not keeping his promise.

"Congress loves the NO Budget Obama way."

Continuing resolutions keep the 47% happy and no one has to take a political stand which makes Congress critters happy. I would be surprised to see an actual budget passed given the anti-Trump environment in DC. The end result is that Obama's spending priorities go on indefinitely despite the GOP being in control.

An honest question here as I don’t know the laws / budgeting processes etc... Is there any reason why Trump can’t order the Army Corps of Engineers to start building the wall now?

No one asked you to be a cheerleader
