Democrats denounce Trump’s suggestion to direct military funding toward border wall

Democrats in the House and Senate denounced President Trump’s suggestion Friday that military funding could be used for a border wall if he declared a national emergency, a move that would allow him to bypass congressional approval.

“I am adamantly opposed to President Trump using an unwise, weak, and irresponsible legal gimmick to circumvent Congress and the American people’s opposition to using taxpayer money for the construction of an unnecessary wall,” House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., said in a statement Friday.

“This is as clear a statement as any that President Trump values the construction of his wall over military readiness and support for our troops and their families,” Smith said.

Smith claimed redirecting the funds would be a blow to servicemembers, and to various defense projects that enhance readiness, training, operations, among other things.

Trump has them all in a tizzy.  The rats don't know whether to scratch their watches  or wind their asses.
