President Trump has prioritized ensuring American communities are safe and restoring law and order at the border.

One of Trump’s top priorities is protecting the American people and jobs. That’s why he called on Congress to fully fund a wall along the Southern border, to close legal loopholes that enable illegal immigration, to end chain migration and to eliminate the visa lottery program.

Anyone with half a brain knows the 3.8 billion dollars in a military budget is nothing! I wholeheartedly support this effort. We need to build a wall.

The $2.2B from DOD's base budget includes: $201M for Army vehicles, including Army National Guard HMMWV mod; $233M for Navy F-35; $155M for V-22; $180M for P-8A; $650M for LHA replacement; $261M for EPF; $156 for Air Force F-35; $196M for C-130J; $180M for Light Attack

Waste of Money & Doubt this will happen !!!!!!

Disgraceful spending!

All that is important to him is fulfilling his agenda. We do not need a stupid wall!

😡

3.8 billion for a shit fence that can be blown over by the wind.

I thought mexico was paying for this wall. Why are we moving any amt of money for this thing. BorderWall presidenttrumplies

Great!! Best news I read today! Drugs, Contraband, and Illegal Entry into the USA will decrease! Excellent!

What is LyingKingTrump doing with all that money he has stolen from the military for his prehistoric wall? He has in fact built only 1 (ONE) mile of new wall with all that money. Has all that money been diverted to help save many of his near bankrupt golf courses?

GOOD realDonaldTrump has improved & invested in our military ! AND looney LEFTIST DEMOCRATS SCREAMED “OMG HES BECOMING A DICTATOR BUILDING HIS MILITARY!” Now they SCREAM “OMG LOOK HE TOOK MILITARY MONEY “ ! The man can’t win ! So Trump DOES WHAT HE THINKS IS RIGHT

FROM THE LYING 🤥 KING 🤴

realDonaldTrump Yep, I knew it! I knew it would not even remotely stop the people from still coming across the border. Another big failure and waste of money Donny. You are such a failure at everything you do. How many times you file for bankruptcy?

Tell me again, how much tRUmp loves military.

You guys are hilarious...…..

Does Trump’s obsession with the wall show affection for Russia or a campaign promise.? The last country to build a wall to separate people was Russia.

What a good use of military funds and keeps the soldiers busy, too. You’d think the use of funds was a national security issue as how will we pay for bullets and bombs now!?

Bring it!! No more wasteful impeachment spending ‼‼‼

11% or 37.5 million Mexicans are citizens of the USA. This is a direct insult to them. How is this Wall strategy going to work on trade with Mexico let alone help Americans overseas in the military. trump will condone Americans being killed overseas to build his wall.

Right and he cares about troops

Good.If you do not have border security--you don't have any security! BuildTheWallTall

He’s helping Russia by diverting funds that keep our military at the ready. Seems to be an on going thing. Touting a wall that’s all but useless against Russian missiles coming from a completely different direction. Think our troops and airmen will be happy? Are ‘you‘ happy?

A little prevention goes a long way.

I thought Mexico was paying for the wall...?

TRump just declare it bankrupt and stop and call it a losing proposition. Howmany days spent on that thing. Over 1,000 days and nothing accomplished nor will it be in 300 more. Impossible! quit wasting money! Get a plan because even if you built a wall you still need a plan.

Best news of the day! BuildTheWall

You misspelled Mexico. Trump is moving $3.8 billion from Mexico to build the wall. That’s who’s paying for it, right? Not US taxes, right? Not money we proudly allocated for “defense, right?

I remember he said it was gonna be see through,beautiful and tall with sharp points up top , but remember it was gonna be see through and beautiful-Lol hilarious 😂-Donnie go away -far far away like Russia.

So he can drop charges against the rest of the justice Dept. It was said long ago, the doj will not rat their own, therefore, don't look for any of the doj crooks to b prosecuted.

Think of what repurposing 3.8 billion dollars could do to immediately increase our quality of life, that of our teachers & farmers. Protect oceans, rivers. Enhance public education, aid in federal student loan debt, enhance long term care. Lower med prices for all.

JoyTaylorTalks

Stealing from other Americans programs to build his vanity wall while stealing billions from helping the neediest of Americanspoor seniors children and disabled. These programs keep these Americans alive. How can no one feel rage in their hearts?

Pentagon just happened to have an excess $7.2 billion to give away.

🤬

if the American people wanted a wall, they would've had it built long time ago

so many better ways to spend that money

such a waste of money funded by the president not the American people and it don't come out of his account

Good trade.

The reallocated amount of $7.2 billion is less than 0.1% of the defense's 'official budget' of $738 B. Yet, it is less than 100% of NSF US National Science Foundation's 2020 budget of $7.1 B. We will be spending more on a concrete wall than on all US science and education.

This is a good thing he promised to build a southern border wall !the Democrats don't want to give it to him,he's got to do it somehow the drugs keep pouring in the child trafficking keeps happening criminals keep coming over into our sanctuary cities which are operated by Dems!

Hurry up.

It’s over Donald - you wall is a joke

💯% support ! Build that wall!

Just like that? 😂😂😂

Soooo dumb!! They forget the tunnels, people can't climb that high but they can dig and it is proven 😂😂😂 i insist, sooooo dumb 😂😂😂😂

Excellent.

The Aztecs built pyramids... Americans build walls... they both will remain as testimonies to both cultures.

It is security for America here at home. There are radical jihadists, drugs, and sex trafficking coming into America from an open border.

Repurpose? 😂 How do you, an investment/financial news source report this waste of funds? wsj Literally throwing money into the wind FFS. Meanwhile America’s veterans are homeless. Trump sucks. Anyone still supporting him sucks too💯 TrumpImpeachedForLife VoteBlue 🇺🇸

Donald LOVES the military men so much, he is taking away their money. National debt?

Didnt the courts already declare this illegal when he tried it the first time?

Good!

My parents are from Mexico, both now U.S. citizens. Am I still expected to chip in for the wall? And if so, who do I make the check out to?

Good news for Americans. Now we can lock the door of our nation the way I lock the door of my house. Keep terrorists out!

What happens when he’s voted out of office in November? Construction stops, Wall is incomplete, and Billions $$$ are just wasted. Disgusting. He doesn’t care, it’s all about how he looks.

DoIt

& REPURPOSE In plain not trump language not military but plain English what does this mean repurpose

What a God damn joke

Did the cult send him millions for the wall? I bet he used that money to wipe his orange spray off his body

Great news. Thank you POTUS

Merv515 I thought mexico supposed to pay for it?! trump the troll said 🤗

The last I knew part of it blew down, although I’m sure that was because of some of the greatest people he knows who built it.

This is America’s wall!!! Not Trumps wall!!! We must stop the migrants

Can’t somebody please stop Trump from wasting our poor military troops much needed weapons & schools. The wall does not work and is blocking wildlife from its habitat. If he was going to steal from our country I wish it was at least to feed and get the homeless off the streets!

5 TRILLION DOLLAR budget. The TexasGOP will own it. tedcruz JohnCornyn

Good

Thank you President Trump!!!

On 9/11, terrorists hijacked airplanes killing thousands of innocent civilians. Those 19 hijackers were here on temporary visas and held a combined 30 state-issued licenses. It is imperative we ensure only lawful residents or citizens can obtain driver licenses.

Greeeat. I feel so much safer now that we have walls that promote xenophobia and fall apart whenever a breeze blows.

Best Buy some poles to hold it up . Wind bossed the last part down didn’t it ? Here’s some directions for your boss .

Umm he is literally stealing money appropriated to the military.

Good. BuildTheWall

So the Dims were all for a wall a few years ago, now all U liberal hacks R here, beating your chests about having a wall!?!! WTF, U need to make your minds up, if Obama was doing this you'd all be applauding and saying yaaaaaaay, we finally got our wall!

Wait so Mexico isn't paying for the wall.. wait he lied? Gasp!

If it is this easy to come up with federal funding for unnecessary, mindless projects, why our teachers still underpaid and why are so many young people struggling to pay for college? I wish this country cared more about it's people and less about the president's ego.

If Trump can re-direct these funds from the military budget, the military didn’t need the equipment the 3.8 billion was going to pay git.

In all honesty, this amount of money is a rounding error when you consider the big picture of U.S. spending. Right JonathanShultz7?

This is truly embarrassing putting a fence up to block our neighbors. There are other ways to stop unwanted visitors. But we have a president that thinks a fence makes us safe. He doesn't know what ladders or shovels are for. Most people enter by airplane anyway!

I guess that was 3.8 billion the Pentagon didn’t need...

That’s our great President for you, Pres. Trump!! Always thinking when everyone else is sleeping. But his knowledge puts us all to shame so stay calm!! He has this!!

BYILD THE WALL!!! Protect America!

Secure the Borders! Should've been done a long time ago! It will suck if someone comes across and does something bad!!!

Hey who needs school lunches or health care JOY to TrumptyDumpty VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

BUILD THE WALL MR. PRESIDENT

Security starts at the border 🇺🇸. Pence 2024 !

POTUS was saving lives keeping drugs that are Killing our youth.

Bravo, POTUS & CBP! BuildThatWall

Robs social programs to fund military robs military to fund wall Robs wall to fund wealthy contractors Rinse and repeat

what else should we expect of the guy that misused money from a veterans fundraiser for himself? Of course he is going to use money that is for our military to build a ridiculous wall that HE PROMISED MEXICO WAS BUILDING!

The border wall is 100% national defense its more important than fighting in iraq or afghan or anywhere else our open borders have broke the back of this great country 23 trillion in debt not all but a huge chunck to illegals

I can’t believe Trump wants to waste Defense money on a wall . It could be put to good use like other presidents bombing and killing people. As Bush said, he has no idea how to be president

None of this should be happening, back in 1990’s California was clearly becoming Mexico! Why the hell was this not stopped, 25 years later our President is dealing with this Very Serious Issue.

And isn't he lucky he has already won the court case in SCOTUS on this issue last year!

Hopefully someone will keep him from sending troops to unnecessary deployments.

For the wall that will fall down when 30 MPH winds happen?

What a waste of money. The wall will be flat on the ground in months!! It will be a reference through history of the greasiest 21C. Fubar. “A disaster like Trump wall” People will say...

That’s in pesos right? Mexico is still paying for this right?

Where is the money?

We want the WALL!

So the DoD is the new name for Mexico?

No money for Medicare for all, but Billions for a border wall.

Good! Secure our borders🇺🇸

TheBusinessSuitIsGangRelated

2019 cost of illegal aliens...... 360 BILLION!

At least get half the wall up and keep $$$ for DOD in case of a Moslem takeover

The WestWall 🙏🏻 🇲🇽🏰🇺🇸

realDonaldTrump puede hacer su muro .. a los mexicanos no les importa , cómo se puede ver para enviar drogas no necesitan pasar por encima del muro y los indocumentados buscarán nuevas estrategias para pasarse ese muro por los huevos .. ya lo verán.

Hey America.... he’s stealing our money

Again what about his home ppl

Not a good idea.

This wall? WASTE OF TIME and OUR TAX MONEY

....

Good

Trump’s wall:

When you bring up Trump saying that Mexico was going to pay for the wall His supporters:

FDT

So Mexico = American military emergency funds.

I guess build that wall and the Pentagon is going to pay for it doesn’t have same ring to it.

All just so he can say he got it done for his newest campaign 'promises''

I think real politicians call this pork. No emergency need for it except trumps monument.

Luv it-build the wall

Why can't we have Trump supporters pay for their wall? I was told Mexico is paying for it and just as we all feared, it's the American tax payer funding the wall.

You will not finish that damn wall at our American's expense make Mexico pay like you promised or better yet you pay and your rich cronies that are in ur corner so tight. And they are destroying Disturbing Ancient Indian Burial Grounds. Have u no decency T

Liberals 5 days ago: Trump gets stuff done? LOL where is his wall then?! Liberals now: tRuMp bUiLd wAlL?!

I really can’t believe this is happening, trump just wants something to be remembered by. If it’s completed it’ll be around for hundreds of years... sad a man like that is gonna be in history books.

The Mil won't need that money once THE WALL IS BUILT! As a matter of fact with a closed border we might even be able to pay of the debt to the Federal Reserve!!! Then start over w/o them & IRS!

This is underhanded and the proof that is wasted spending is trump will brag on it and lie like hell that it is needed !!!

So then explain why the House would EVER agree to increase funding to DoD? This “Emergency Funding” exception to the House’s power of the purse needs to be reigned in.

I had no idea Mexico has been funding our military all of this time.

What happens when the military has to fight?

Some of the money will come from de-funding Stars & Stripes publication.

..... But Mexico!

We elected a majority in the House to stop this madman. You really didn’t play this part well Nancy. You said Trump would get a dime for his wall, yet you won’t actually fight dirty like he is. Resign or stop him.

Good! Finally a President who cares about America’s sovereignty!!

And the paint job is free. As always, see a clear spot and it just must be spray painted. 😬

I pray an earthquake will flatten those metals to the ground. 🙏

Monte_Alto How much of this comes from VA funding? How much from housing funding? The ineffective, ego wall will not be worth it.

'Sorry to all you homeless vets suffering on the streets, but trump's gonna look bad if he helps you instead of building a useless wall.'

Waste of money

Oh to be that contractor, getting paid that much to build walls that blow over from a gust of wind.

Man, poor Mexico better borrow some money to pay for- oh wait....

But Mexixo was paying for the wall.

Imagine how many people we could help instead of just fence out with those billions. realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse

Ok people. Let’s find that Tweet where Trump directly contradicts himself. You know there’s at least 2 for every issue he so strongly “cares” about

Wasnt mexico supposed to pay for it?

As long as they don't redirect money from Space Force

ASSinine move......!

He sure loves the military and it’s troops.

Next President needs to shut down bases in districts of congresscritters that support this and put them in places that actually support the troops.

Mexico’s Pentagon, right? Shameful that we are throwing money down a well. This won’t work or ease his paranoid mind. Sad.

How does this cost so much but it got knocked over by the damn wind

Keep_USAGreat Excellent

If Trump can just divert funds how can Congress truly approve a budget? This is an over reach of Trump. Like we didn’t see this coming. The GOP unleashed maniac! The people don’t want this wall, it’s worthless, cut through it or wind will blow it over!!

Oh we are so scared 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mi raza still coming

What a complete waste of money. Think of what could be done with those billions.

If Wall Street Journal has a problem with this, I'll gladly cancel my subscription. The money is well spent.

🚩Most people have no idea how much illegal immigration is costing them in taxes. These were the federal stats a few months ago. Which don't include costs on a local level (infrastructure, schools, hospitals, law enforcement + increases in OUR property taxes because of it).

Did I miss something? Did Mexico give our military money and that's where the $4B is coming from 'Cause Mexico is paying for that 'wall,' right? The same wall that can't withstand 30 mph winds, right

Good let’s finish that and keep fighting drugs and human traffic

Wait I thought you could keep your doctor?

BUILD THE WALL!!!! BUILD THE WALL!!!! BUILD THAT BEAUTIFUL WALL!!!!🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸

He’s taking from other things

Cool ... I guess we can count on him to not start any wars now that he's defunding our overseas deployment capabilities for his toy money.

Am I correct in understanding that the Space Force budget is untouched?

He is one sick motherfucker. I hope he gets voted out but I have a feeling he’s already fixed the election. Next he will end term limits and we will have a fascist dictator and America as we know it will be gone. :( sad day.

Good, we need to get that border closed off, if we get in a War, we'll make sure to get funding, its never failed in the past, lets get America secured before we worry about the rest of the World.

WAIT. I thought MEXICO was paying for the wall

👍👍👍

👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸

And where is that $7.2m coming from exactly? To build a wall easily felled by wind, shimmying and/or a $100 sawzall from a hardware store?

Victory!

About time

Trump 2032!

obviously it's racist if you oppose criminals from other countries walking across the border into America.

Trump!!

Trumptard just wants something to hang his name on... FuckingPieceOfShit Corruption Corruption Corruption Corruption

The money is coming fm last 3 budgets, admin finally won the court battle so now all money coming at once and Trump will build quickly

As you can see, it is money wasted.

Gotta have that penis extender, eh Mister God King?

I thought trump was going to force Mexico to build that idiotic wall of his.

This also keeps deadly Corona Viruses and other Diseases out of our country.

followthemoney fleecingofAmerica

Walls over weapons anyday👍👍👍👍🇺🇸

So Trump is moving money, that is badly needed for the military, to pay for his vanity project the wall, which is built so badly that it blows over in a stiff breeze. Unbelievable.

Nice wall.

Sounds good to me.

This is going to go over like a turd in a punch bowl. GOP you own this. Unfortunately, we know that you will blame others for it in future years, and that you won’t take responsibility for the mess you have made with the Trumpapottamous... waytogodickheads

Good for President Trump.

Good

If a Democrat president had done this, right wingers and the tea party army would be marching on the streets of Washington DC. I suppose keeping away brown people is a higher priority!!

But universal healthcare is too expensive and unattainable

Oh ya...Winning for Americans 🇺🇸

All of that is a waste of money. 😪

Thought Mexico would be footing the bill 🤔🤔🤔

GrandmaShark18 Who okd the military budget It's time to freeze that sht PRONTO!

This is ridiculous!

I hope AnnCoulter like this? She needs some relief

Fiscally irresponsible and racist, hallmarks of the GOP.

When did Mexico take over the Pentagon?

MarkL137

DJGroyper Good, the military's first job is to protect the nation's borders from foreign invaders.

Military sure seems to have a lot of surplus money that can be diverted to other projects. Something I hope the next Democratic President remembers when it comes time.

Yeah , he is famous for doing this..

Knowing where our border is physically with a fence tells people who will arrest you. Actual border is on Mexican side of fence yards away so maintenance can repair fence from both sides and not actually enter Mexican territory. A Mexican soldier pointing a gun at an American..

After the decimation Obama and the democrats bestowed on our military for 8 yrs all yaw hypocrites need to sit down or go to your safe spaces. Buildthatwall MAGA

JLPtalk The Wall Going Up!

Screw trump and all the greedy, slimy trump pals that will get contracts to do the construction of trump's garbage wall. Trump only cares about all the kickbacks:$ he will be getting from those that are awarded the contracts! Trump is in, Take The Money And Run mode now.

Hey .RepStefanik , last year .realDonaldTrump stole billions from the military, wiping out 80% of Fort Drum's budget for military family programs and base infrastructure. How much are you allowing him to steal from YOUR constituents this year? TedraCobb

How much is the national deficit again I mean when you don’t have to pay taxes like y’all president I guess he has an extra 3.8 billion laying around for the reconstruction of Melanias pussy 🤷🏽‍♀️

Bravo 👍

Like Thsts a bad thing?

What the hell?!?!?!

No one in this chickenshit administration or Senate has the cojones to stand up to psychopath Trump!

But he loves our military..🙄

What happened to Mexico paying for the wall? 😂🤣😂

The cartels and liberals are s e e t h i n g

That's because the Democrats are not working together with the president

I'm going down with a truck load of $20 saws. Will they fit between the rails? Need an answer for my business plan! realDonaldTrump

Ludicrous

What ever will single issue AnnCoulter do now?

What? Wait didn't trump promise us that Mexico would pay for the border wall? Is Mexico funneling money into a Pentagon fund?

Hell yes!

Thankbyou, Mr. President. Prioritizing the safety and security of the US citizens and our elections.

A new symbol of America: a wall resembling prison bars. At least it's not false advertising.

Trump's always talking about wasting money. . .

And we cant afford universal healthcarre

But I thought Mexico was going to pay for it?! 🤔 Trump said so...he never lies. 🙄

News flash not only does our country need it but since Nancy has screwed up so bad Her Own party has ordered her to give him the needed wall n then some. Just saying 🧐 plus he’s not doing different then past presidents have. It should have been done.

What a big beautiful WALL! I love it because it saves tax payers money and it infuriates democrat/socialist, sex and drug traffickers, gangs, criminals, and brand new illegal demacrat/socialist voters. 🇺🇸

That is B.S.!! The military needs that. Not for a wall or to cage children..but to protect those who serve

But no healthcare!

Good

“Repurpose”? You mean steal.

walls don’t stop cartels who tunnel, drive and fly their product into America

Socialism

we have no money to make healthcare and education affordable but we have $7.2B lying around for a stupid wall... ok

And no one from our military loving gop does a thing

All I know is that Mexico is paying for it.

A Donald Trump’s Promise Made a Donald Trump promise not kept 🤥 I’m going to build up a “Beautiful Wall” that 🇲🇽 Mexico is going to pay for! “Dumb Trump Gringos”!

A POTUS that puts our Country and it’s Americans out of harms way. Thank you realDonaldTrump

OUT FUCKING STANDING

Unbelievable,and yet he continues to get away with it. Next it will be statues of him.Anything to feed his ego.Its been proven'this wall is a failure'.And the tunnelsThis 🇺🇸 is in debt in the trillions & money continues to be pissed away.What about the struggling Americans?

That’s a waste of tax dollars if they dig under the wall. We need to advertise vetting in the United States and Immigration is good for the economy. My plan is pinned on my twitter, write me in during the general election. BryceforPresident2020

Hopefully Dems can sue to prevent this travesty.

The poisoning President of the United States

Complete this wall . I support Trumps wall it’s a must for wellbeing of America in stopping terrorists flowing into our country.

This is comical. No one cared when Barry outright gutted the military. They still getting more money than when they were under Barry. Get that wall done.

Let's tear it down as soon as this big man baby is out of office! Party at the border ya'll!!!!

More good news! Whoop!

This is about votes period

😡 What are elected officials doing! They're stealing money our military needs to fund what's needed to protect our country. Are they so frightened of that S.O.B. in the oval office that they can't say 'No more!'? Had enough! It's past time to stop him from ruining our nation!😡

Why isn't Mexico paying for the wall like Trump said?

Oh yeah. The wall that Trump promised Mexico would pay for?

So we no longer have homeless vets, starving children, or people without health insurance in the USA? Awesome!

Clearly, too much money was allocated to the Defense Department. The House had better slash their allotment by at least 7.2 billion!

Build that wall 👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍

BuildTheWall

What this tweet is really trying to say: Trump continues to find a way to stop the lefts desperate efforts to maintain illegal flow of migration in effort to destroy America at the voting polls.

Thank you, Mr. President!

A TRAVESTY 🤡🎪🕌💰 how many Americans’ lives could be made better by “repurposing $3.8 billion toward child hunger, homelessness, education, green energy initiatives, etc?

Building Alllllll the wayyyy!!!!!

Another poorly designed wall that will blow over in the wind, just like the gas bag in the Oval Office.

This is retarded 🤯

Trump, 16 June 2015 - 'I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall,' He lied to you humans?

Trump and government and military using people’s money,for something that does not better anything,we are loosing our freedoms.

Does this really qualify as news to anyone?

Finally a POTUS that is doing what he was hired to do.

Money well spent for the security of our country.

We finally have a President willing to fight for America's security. Trump2020Landslide

America was a great experiment. Too bad all it took was a Republican con man/crook to bring that experiment to a grinding halt. marcorubio SenRickScott RossSpano

What an incredible waste of money & shows the non thinking, lack of humanity of the administration !

Wait a minute! He STATED with his OWN WORDS that Mexico was paying for the wall! Was that an alternative fact? What did I miss? MAGA

The lefties aren't helping so, our President has to do what needs to be done and I'm all for it...

That’s RIGHT!!! BUILD THAT WALL!!!

Good. About time we secure our border.

Let's talk Real News Watch 'Why Did Coronavirus Cases EXPLODE Overnight? As U.S. Issues Executive Order Plan For PANDEMIC' on YouTube

Cue the Left’s mass hysteria...

Not fair to Americans in need of State infrastructure!!!!!!

What an awful , nasty thing he is.

Can we stop acting like the military is suffering over these funds being reallocated for the border wall? Trump has already rebuilt the military and put our armed forces in a great position. This is just the media twisting information to fit the liberal agenda once again.

Awesome ! maga

Damn, I thought Mexico was gonna pay for it. What happened with that?

WTF😱

And how exactly does this line up with Dolt 45’s promise that Mexico would pay for his stupid wall?!?!

realDonaldTrump 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

FuckTrump FuckNazis Xenophobia FAILURE

And let the lawsuits begin!

But Uncle Donny said the Mexicans were gonna pay for it!

I take it we refused Mexico’s generous offer to pay for it? Oh, wait...

Nice

Oh that’s right…the wall Mexico was going to pay for. Another Trump lie...the fin never stops with this clown.

Build it they Will Not come!

Good

Any diversion from the E Jean Carroll rape claim. BTW, Stormy Daniels wants her makeup kit back. The makeup could be for the embarrassment and shame visited on this President everyday. DNA requests, Firings, I wonder if this President is the one who fired the most federal people?

No borders, no country.

Wasn’t México paying for it? 🤡

Where is the Congress

Finally

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

What happened to “Mexico will pay for the wall Believe me”?

And we'll huff and we'll puff and, with a stiff breeze, we'll blow his $7.2 billion border wall down.

How can he do that? What am I thinking? He does whatever he want & still has most Republicans standing up for him.

Who is paying for the wall?! Broken promises.

Have they figured out what to do to keep their wall from falling over in high winds? Just askin’...

Leftists are all of a sudden fiscally responsible, pro-military spending advocates?👌

then Trump awards contracts to his friends.

So Trump cuts social programs to increase the military budget which he siphons from as a personal piggy bank for his wall.

Apparently congressional budgets are meaningless now, because we live in a dictatorship

BUILD THAT WALL!!!

7.2 billion for a wall and you’re cutting School lunches, funding for the poor, cuts in healthcare. Ridiculous! You’re days are numbered. We will take our country back

Wait, these are funds from MEXICO'S military, correct?

“Repurpose”. Yeah, right

Dear Obama budget was 3.7 TRILLION Us dolars.

Fantastic news Trump2020 🇺🇸

Wait.. what about the Mexico redemption money😂

Are you flipping kidding me? These billions are going right into Trump’s pocket!
