M = military, i.e., use the military appropriation to build the wall.

This, then, would be the first REAL indication that the stories that he’s planning to do this are true. And that would be a very good thing - since it means he hoodwinked the RATS on Friday.
At the risk of being called an “idiot” and “Hillary lover” again, though, I have to wonder why he also hoodwinked his own base. What was the point of the “I might veto this” tweet? Why did he look so defeated and miserable on Friday if he’d really pulled a BIG one on the RATS? Why wasn’t he standing up there with Swampers McConnell and Ryan (and I still have a hard time believing EITHER of them would participate in anything that would really help DJT!) giving Chuck ‘n’ Nancy the proverbial finger? Something still doesn’t seem right, to me.
Oh, but . . . yeah. Building the wall . . . ALL of the wall, starting NOW would be a great thing.
It doesn’t make sense to me either.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
Well, it allowed Schumer to take ownership of it and crow...
At the risk of being called an “idiot” and “Hillary lover” again,
He did it this way to quell the political combat between the Left and us. We got what we want, no reason to argue now. RATS can stand by and watch his agenda toboggan through, now that it’s funded.
They’re brave enough to protest the wall in construction? Better get signed pre-paid lawyer retainers from Soros.
There is no victory in this bill for the leaders of the House and Senate. They failed to support the agenda of the President and the same agenda that millions of working class Americans supported when they voted DJT.
By hinting that a veto was being considered and later showing disgust at his announcement, he effectively told both Ryan and McConnell that they had failed in their leadership.
He called McConnell out on the archaic filibuster rule. He called Ryan out indirectly for failing to get a majority vote to fund the wall directly.
President Trump has a long track record of taking what he has been given and making it Golden.
Under Budget - Ahead of Schedule
To throw off the media (Democrat) messaging, and maintain control of the #Narrative through the Omnibus. It worked. And now he's about to unveil The Wall as military necessity.
“At the risk of being called an “idiot” and “Hillary lover” again, though, I have to wonder why he also hoodwinked his own base. What was the point of the “I might veto this” tweet?

Ditto. And Ryan and McConnell would NEVER go along with building the wall, since they love their illegals more than us citizens. IMO.
Maybe it’s something he figured out after tweeting he would veto it?
And then there’s that amendment that military funding could be used to build the wall that was added...maybe he got that one through himself, making this possible.
I think he looked relaxed on Friday. Pissed, but relaxed, too.
He’s probably trolling the media if anything. It’s the whole Art of War thing: make yourself look weak and vulnerable so to throw your enemies off track.
He knows we’d figure it out before the end of the weekend.
Which we did !
Some even figured it out by dinnertime on Friday — like me!
Trump loves the country, unlike Obama who dictatorially ran the country by fiat via "executive orders", he is NOT a dictator.
President Trump is a straight shooter, he wanted to fund and build the wall through the normal, constitutional budgetary process but was intentionally sabotaged by Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the RINO swamp "Republicans" in collusion with the DEMONcrats.
Even after offering them a DACA deal for the funding of the entire wall (that his base didn't like, but was willing to compromise on to a certain extent for the sake of the safety of the nation), both "parties" i.e., the "uniparty" still refused to give him a constitutional budget which included funding for the wall and essentially signalled that they NEVER WOULD.
At this point the POTUS saw the proverbial "hand writing on the wall": Both parties would continue to circumvent and reject the will of the people, the security of the nation and even their own constituents for as long as it took to see that the wall that the President promised, ran on, and won on would NEVER be funded or built and they would nefariously use their role as outlined within the constitution as the means to do so. "See, we are the 'good guys', using the U.S. Constitution to deny the evil Trump his bad wall".
President Trump, the straight shooter who wants to accomplish his goals LEGALLY, within the confines of the Constitution and the rule of law said to himself (with the help of some very shrewd, wise and godly counselors):
"OK, I generously offered you the carrot, you've rejected it and chosen to play constitutional 'hard ball' instead. Fine (he thinks to himself 'if that's the way you want it two can play at that game, and I am better at 'hard ball' than you'll ever be), you staunchly refuse to submit a constitutional budget, I guess I will have to accept an 'omnibus SPENDING bill' instead."
"You submit an omnibus SPENDING bill that contains funding for the military to the tune of 700 billion dollars and I will sign it. The military must be funded because NATIONAL SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT (emphasis added)."
The deep state RINO's and DEMONcrats say to themselves "oh goodie, we've won, evil Trump has lost, his wall won't ever be funded or built! All we have to do is agree on a pork barrel 'OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL' (*Note: this is NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL BUDGET, it is anot omnibus SPENDING bill), submit it to him and this dufus will be forced to sign it", which they proceed to do.
OK; at this point in the game the trap is SET, the politician rats have their necks IN the trap but they haven't yet taken the pork-cheese bait.
Yes, the 'omnibus SPENDING bill' fully funds the military, however, it is onerous and full of pork-cheese for the political rats; but THAT'S THE POINT: President Trump is going to use their greed and lust for the pork-cheese against them.
*Note: There is still time for these greedy, self-serving "politicians" to remove their necks from the trap and pull the "omnibus SPENDING bill" before the President can sign it. So President Trump in a brilliant move of bluffing/brinksmanship comes out the very day before it is to be signed and tweets: "I don't like the bill because of what is in it (this is true), ...I don't know if I will sign it."
Blinded by their pork-cheese greed, the political rats on both sides of the isle go into full panic mode; egged on by their sycophants in the press they put their necks EVEN FURTHER into the trap screaming all the while: "President Trump M U S T SIGN THE OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL!"
Oh the "drama" President Trump has intentionally created: "will he sign it", "won't he sign it?" The rats teeth are on edge, salivating at the thought of all that pork-cheese, almost in their grasp.
Finally the moment of decision arrives... *REMEMBER: President Trump's promise and penultimate goal is to fully fund and build the border wall! He has tried to negotiate, "play nice", compromise (i.e., the DACA deal) and work within the "normal political system" all in good faith in order to accomplish this goal, BUT THE POLITICAL RATS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT!
Flanked by General Mad Dog Mattis, and voicing his displeasure he signs the OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL (*Note: This again is NOT a Constitutional budget) stating two very important things:
1) He is doing so for NATIONAL SECURITY in order to fully fund the military, and to PROTECT THE COUNTRY.
2) He says: "I WILL N E V E R SIGN A BILL LIKE THIS AGAIN!"
He never will because THE TRAP HAS SNAPPED SHUT, BREAKING HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES NECKS, and he has just LEGALLY AND CONSTITUTIONALLY GOTTEN EVERYTHING HE WANTS CONCERNING FUNDING AND BUILDING THE BORDER WALL, AND THERE ISN'T A SINGLE THING HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES CAN DO TO STOP IT now that he has signed THEIR omnibus SPENDING bill!
His conservative base thinks he has caved; he hasn't, he just constitutionally worked within the system, using the only tool left open to him to reach his promised goal of fully funding and building the wall.
The liberals, the RINOS, the MSM and DEMONcrats gloat, tell themselves they have won and boast on TV "We got 80% of what we wantend!"... Yes they got their 'pork-cheese' but they have died getting it.
Like someone that has just gotten their head cut off by the gillotine, whose brain still functions for a few seconds; they are dead, but they just don't know it yet.
Now that the trap has been set, the pork-cheese bait taken and the trap sprung shut, figuratively killing his political enemies,... President Trump quietly announces that "building the wall begins on Monday"!
Reading this, the dead rats and RINOS, salivating over their pork-cheese fleetingly think to themselves ..."what?" just before the blood left pooling in their severed heads gives its last bit of life and the lights go out.
President Trump signed the "omnibus SPENDING bill" THEY forced upon him into law. He signed it for the sake of "NATIONAL SECURITY" and come next week he is going to proclaim proctecting the southern border is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY.
Therefore, as POTUS he will be taking all of the money necessary to fully fund and build the wall from the monies earmarked for the military and "NATIONAL SECURITY" in the omnibus SPENDING bill. And there isn't a constitutional or legal thing his enemies can do about stopping him or it. Because, in their blind greed for their pork-cheese they gave him the legal means to do so! Check and mate.
While the little deep state piggies, and the msm will complain, bellow, squeal and holler, they don't have a legal or constitutional leg to stand on.
They won the pork-cheese battle this round, but in doing so they have lost the war. President Trump finally got what he promised. The wall will be built, and he will "NEVER" sign another pork-cheese laden bill again... no more trough for the little piggies.
Expect the squealing to begin any minute :o)
