Let's be clear. He has no constitutional options.

Anybody who says otherwise is just sharing in his own lying bullshit.

Trump 'not happy' with deal, weighing options for building wall

Only Congress has the power to appropriate any money to be spent on any thing.

Reporting him and his lackeys telling the lie he can repurpose money the Congress has provided expressly for other things is one thing.

But it is quite another for the reporter to share in the lie.

Here's a thought.

If the Duce is determined to spend $ 5.7 B on something, it should be something worthwhile.

So, maybe on subsidies for Obamacare coverage?

On Medicaid expansion?

On a raise for Social Security or to close that donut hole in Medicare drug coverage?

Just a few thoughts.

Update:

MSNBC is right now calling it wall money and explaining the White House is planning to repurpose other money appropriated for other purposes through a series of "executive actions".

And that it utter hoseshit.

Any such thing is unconstitutional.

He can't just spend money out of his ass.

And Mitch McConnell is saying he would be OK with that?

Right.

That's exactly how much these Republicans give a shit about the constitution and constitutional government.
