Instead of making his case (or perhaps because he knew he had no case), Trump just TOOK $3.6 Billion from needed military construction projects. Money that had been debated & allocated by Congress to help our troops - Trump took it for his vanity project on the borderpic.twitter.com/7z9wtNTDUL

He's playing political shell games with the safety and preparedness of our troops and he thinks Jared is gonna scare us into funding his wall. Not happening, Donaldpic.twitter.com/UXTYahlM1G
