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.

You're a complete moron. The letter you're referring to allocates $145 million to 3 emergency funds. You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about or you're a lying piece of shit.
