Agreed and President Trump also said that he'd need an initial federal budget that would be repaid by Mexico using a range of mechanisms such as tariffs and confiscation of profits.
Trump's been saying this for a very long time, well before the election win.
I don't have time to re-watch dozens of rally videos... just so you can ignore my post.
Believe whatever you like.

Why do you keep pushing lies here on Voat? You started the whole nonsense about the President taking "100% control" of the omnibus. That's a 99.999% lie.

It looks like President Trump is gonna fund the wall as a military project from the omnibus military funding... and thanks to the letter to congress, he's under no obligation to fund any of the project items... and he can return the excess cash back to the treasury.
This is the exact stunt that Obama, the person who created the omnibus mechanism, pulled 8 times during his presidency to avoid ever having a real budget.
That's the loophole that Obama used to send pallets of cash to Iran.
President Trump has complete control over the spending... even if that makes you sad.
Now, please REEEEEEEEEE and scream and cry and wet your panties because it amuses me.
