The $18 Billion wall figure felt familiar because it's what Trump proposed to cut from CDBG, NIH, etc. for the wall last spring. http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-white-house-eyeing-18-billion-list-of-social-program-cuts-2017-3 … 1/2
Deferring to the dean of the budget press corps on this specific point - and yet it's only a piece of a $33B ask for Phase One of the wall-plus associated costs. And, presumably Trump would wait a decade to ask for more. It's not a fig leaf for the White House, it's a fig forest.
