Trump's raid on Pentagon funds draws bipartisan Hill fire By Connor O'Brien 3 hrs ago Trump declar

President Donald Trump’s decision to tap into billions of dollars in defense funding to help build his signature border wall drew fierce criticism Friday from military-minded lawmakers in both parties, who warned the move would damage military readiness.

Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, including tapping into $3.6 billion in military construction funding to finance more barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border, set off another firestorm on Capitol Hill as he declared that the military projects his administration intended to raid “didn’t sound too important to me.”

“Some of the generals think that this is more important. I was speaking to a couple of them. They think this is more important than what they were going to use it for,” said Trump, who didn’t name any of those generals.

The move is likely to be subjected to myriad legal challenges and votes to block it in Congress. For one, House Armed Services Chairman Adam Smith (D-Wash.) vowed stiff oversight to highlight specific military projects Trump "has chosen to value less" than a border wall.

Of course Drumpf knows more than the generals.
