Trump May Use Military To Finish Border Wall

President Donald Trump was interviewed by TheDailyMail Friday. Trump revealed his plan to finish the construction of the border wall. Trump told TheDailyMail he has two options for the wall “we have military, we have homeland security.”

Trump said he wants Congress to approve the $25 billion for the wall, and have the Department of Homeland Security manage the project. Trump said, “Politically speaking, I’d rather get it through Congress. If we don’t, I’m looking at that option very seriously.”

President Trump also noted he is willing to shut down the government over the wall. “If it were up – I don’t want to say ‘up to me,’ because it is up to me – I would do it, “Trump said. Back in March, Trump received $1.6 billion for the border wall with the omnibus spending bill.​

Trump wrote in response to the bill, “Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming. Most importantly, got $700 Billion to rebuild our Military, $716 Billion next year...most ever. Had to waste money on Dem giveaways in order to take care of military pay increase and new equipment.”
