Trump Raids Military Budget For His Porous Wall
Kremlin asset and white supremacist Donald "Rump" Trump is planning to steal more money from the Defense Department budget to throw at his 12th century technology wall on the southern border that Mexico was supposed to pay for. He wants to divert an additional $7.2 billion from the Pentagon budget for military construction projects and counternarcotics activities in the current 2020 budget, which authorizes only $1.4 billion for Trump's wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.
Last week, the right-wing Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans lifted an injunction placed by a District judge on wall construction using diverted Pentagon funds while legal challenges proceed. Emboldened by this decision, Trump is hell bent on assuaging his angry Red Cap Cult's thirst for a wall that's been shown to be penetrable using tools available from local hardware stores. Only 101 miles of new wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for) have been constructed, largely replacing older barriers that were in place. Private property owners along the Rio Grande have pledged to fight the Trump regime's seizure of private property for the wall, complicating Trump's pledge to have 400 - 450 miles of wall completed or under construction by 2021.
