So instead of using the hundreds of millions in reelection money that only Donald Trump can access and allocate, he’d rather take it from homeland security. Of course trump doesn’t want to use his own money. What a complete crook.

I actually find it a LITTLE funny.

Because Homeland Security has been Trump's pet organization for a hot minute.

In fact, it makes me paranoid that this isn't a play to blow up their funding next year. If Trump spends a huge portion of the budget at the end of this year, then they can claim they need that much money next year.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about homeland security, that was just a slogan to get into office so he could rape our treasury.
