BREAKING -- The Trump administration is reportedly planning to divert $3.6 billion from military construction projects to build the border wall on the southern border. If he can do it, it's goodbye Joe Biden and Liz Warren and hello to four more years.

Politico, a far left leaning media outlet reported that the administration has already began calling lawmakers whose congressional districts "will take a hit," as a result of the decision that was one of President Trump's main campaign promises.

"Defense Secretary Mark Esper called Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday to detail the cash grab, explaining that about half of the funding will come from military construction projects outside the United States and half will come from projects within the country," Politico reported, using the term cash grab to sound as if Trump is stealing the money from the people, rather than living up to the promise he made to those who elected him.

The move comes after the United States Supreme Court ruled in late July that the Trump administration could use $2.5 billion in military funding to build the border wall, but that's chicken feed in terms of the total cost for such a project.

It should not come as a surprise to find that the left will try to challenge the Trump administration in court, in spite of their claim that they want to do what's best for the undocumented immigrants who wouldn't put their kids in danger if they knew the journey would be fruitless.
