Trump wants to gut housing for military families to pay for his wall

The plan would also steal money from disaster relief funds intended for California and Puerto Rico.

The Trump administration is considering taking money that was supposed to be used to build houses for military families, and use it to build Trump’s racist border wall instead.

Politico reports that Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has come up with the idea as a sneaky way to circumvent Congress, which has refused to fund Trump’s wall, and to avoid invoking a national emergency, which Trump has threatened to do if he didn’t get the funds he wanted.

The plan would shift money from Department of Defense funds slated for military construction, including family housing and infrastructure for military bases, to Trump’s useless pet project that most Americans don’t want.

The Trump team’s scheme would also take money away from disaster relief funds for California and Puerto Rico, along with funds allocated to flood control projects the Army Corps of Engineers has in place in Northern California.

Since this asshole and others like him have never lived on "base housing" , and a lot of the pollution that is on these bases hasn't been cleaned up, and for that matter being giving extra money to live off base if "all" the base housing is full, this asshole, and other like him need to live in a detention tent..........................it cost me and other taxpayers over 1.3 million dollars for this asshole and his criminal enterprise to fly to Mar a Lago, when the money could be used for, well..........base housing......................


What a fucking asshole..............................

He is a narcissist who only cares about what he wants, and how he is admired by is cult following. He will do whatever it takes, and hurt anyone in his way, to get his damned wall.
