Trump to use Texas disaster funds to build border wall

[left-of-center2012]

“President Trump is promising billions to help Texas rebuild from Hurricane Harvey, but ... cutting almost $1 billion ... to help finance the president’s border wall.
The $876 million cut ... pays for roughly half the cost of Trump’s down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.”

2. That's so ghoulish

Texans who voted for this shithead... you had enough yet?

[Achilleaze]

3. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief to Texas: "Drop Dead"

But republicans gonna go on submissively assuming he position for their colossal, russian-boot-licking lying a-hole. Go figure.

Comrade Casino to Texas:

4. There ya go, Texas. You're not worth an extra $1 billion to Trump.

"You don't need this money," he says. "I do."

5. Sounds like pork.

Lousy asshole.

[Warpy]

6. Damned fool is just stuck on that stupid wall of his

Nobody wants it but the folks in south San Diego and a bunch of bigots in AZ and not even all of them because they realize it'll screw up wildlife in the area while making it harder to find labor for farms and gardens.

7. Backs of the dead.

People will die from the lack of relief funds.

8. Take a moment and let that sink in: ONE-HALF. Of the DOWN PAYMENT.

The bastard would gladly sign away the country's economy for generations to get HIS precious wall.

Not that he would ever intend to pay for it, of course. Such is the magic of Trumponomics.

9. I called it

10. I'd follow that money because we know it is never going to be built

but that money will go somewhere...

[ProudLib72]

11. How long would a wall really last?

I imagine it would be like another Berlin wall, but it would not last nearly as long. And who is going to buy chunks of it? Maybe the same people willing to pony up $40 for a USA hat?

12. He is obscene. How dare he even suggest this, especially right now.

I just heard him on television telling flood victims that he was going to do everything for them and we all know that's bullshit. He's just going to end up screwing them sooner or later so that he can get money for his stupid fucking wall.

And why? Because he needs a win. He needs it for his ego. No matter how stupid the idea is, he said he was going to do it and he won't let go of it regardless of who has to suffer for his selfishness. And to top it all off, he has the nerve to whine and complain about how mean and unfair everyone is being to HIM!

He is such a miserable, fucking bastard. I hope there is a hell and I hope he burns there for eternity.

13. UN-fkn-believeable that an unecessary wall has precedent over the Texans impacted by Harvey.
