Page 376 of terrible, rotten, no-good budget busting bill:
I found it! I found it! Border security, what President Trump wanted!
no . . .wait a minute section says Defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia
—NSA Operative #32,791
HOGWASH!
Trump can spend this money any way he wants in the interest of National Security, and including the WALL! This Omnibous Bill is NOT a BUDGET ...The Budget is where money is allocated and must be spent that way!
TRUMP may use this money or not, and he has enough military budget plus any he allocates for WALL, as National Security.
The letter sent to Congress night before he signed took care of that. He talked about VETO, to get everyone watching when he told DACA, that Republicans cared about them and not Democrats....2018 election vote move!
