There is more to the "wall" and the government shutdown behind Trump's game plan?

I have wondering why Trump needs 5 billion for the wall now? If the so called "wall" gets built? Why not start out with a low dollar amount? Oh, and don't forget that Trump said Mexico was paying for the "wall"! One has to wonder what is Trump going to really use the money for? His base is being played by one of world's worst con artist! And then there is the GOP marching in line with Trump. The American people are the ones being held hostage by Trump. I for one, want Pelosi and Schumer hold their ground and push Trump, McConnell and rest of greedy GOP into a corner. Then let them explain to their constituents why they can't pay their bills.

Mueller investigation must be derailed and minimized, hence a shutdown tantrum, a recession, a cabinet shakeup, a foreign policy crisis.

Expect more to come.

Especially when VP Pencilneck offered a plan with only 2.5 billion for the wall.

I for one am curious as to what DHS did with the money that was taken from the USCG and FEMA? It's not impossible to embezzle government money...and then send it to an offshore facility!

My theory is that members of Trump's inner circle have been moving money from various accounts and placing those funds in offshore accounts...or repaying his Russian friends for loans they have given him, through Deutsche Bank!!

He's paying her and another major donor $750/day per child which is huge. He's already said he took the money from FEMA, but bet he took a lot more and gave it to himself as his cut for the deal so FEMA is broke, which is why they were so absent in the fire disaster in CA.
