    Let's do a thought experiment. Can divert $5 billion of DoD funds to build a dam because he feels like it? No, that would be illegal. The below diversion of DoD funds to build a stupid wall would also be illegal. Congress, not , has the power of the purse

    Mexico is paying (indirectly) for the Wall through the new USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA! Far more money coming to the U.S. Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!

    Both the Trump and Obama Administrations in Syria went far beyond the congressionally authorized use of force to go after terrorists. Congress never authorized the Executive Branch to go to war in . I am pleased is bringing our troops home.

    I applaud the decision by to withdraw US troops from Syria. Neither the Obama Administration nor the Trump Administration had a strategy. Neither Administration could articulate why we were in Syria, what the end state would be, and how we would achieve it.

    Marco Rubio railed on the president’s decision to pull out of Syria, saying whoever advised him has done a “great disservice” to the country. He said to us that Trump has put the US at risk by his decision - and it will make the world view America as an unreliable partner.

    Hey , I'm going to donate to the Trump Foundation to help great charities. Oh wait, I can't because your Foundation just got dissolved for "persistently illegal conduct" and "willful self-dealing." I will donate to the successful instead.

    The Trump Foundation has done great work and given away lots of money, both mine and others, to great charities over the years - with me taking NO fees, rent, salaries etc. Now, as usual, I am getting slammed by Cuomo and the Dems in a long running civil lawsuit started by.....

    Appears lied, again. Also, if the attempted penthouse gift to Putin at Trump Tower Moscow is true, then or his company may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a felony. FCPA prevents bribery or attempted bribery of foreign officials.

    Giuliani told two days ago that for Trump Tower Moscow, "there was a letter of intent to go forward, but no one signed it." False. Don Jr. already told Congress his dad signed the deal. And today, …

    "The Founders didn’t shelter freedom of speech and the press primarily from fear that tyrants would otherwise undermine American liberties," writes @Jeffy_Jacoby. "They did so because they knew that ordinary officials would seek to do so."

    Dear : I am a NO vote on having US taxpayers fund your artistically stupid wall. If you want Americans to fund your wasteful & inefficient wall of hate, you need to convince House Republicans who lost in Nov (some of whom you trashed) to vote for it. Good luck.

    The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall - but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it....

    Dear Sarah Sanders: -US taxpayers, not Mexico, fund federal agencies. -The Executive Branch executes the law. Congress appropriates funds & write the laws. cannot use other funds to build a wall that Congress specifically did not appropriate. Get it?

    Sanders said today the WH is not looking for the taxpayers to pay for the wall while at the same time said the WH is looking to other agencies to find wall funding. Is aware that agencies of the federal government are funded by taxpayers?

    Arizona lost a respected independent voice when John McCain passed away. Shady backroom deals between Gov. Ducey, Sen. McConnell, & a lobbyist refreshing his Rolodex are giving the state the one candidate they definitively rejected? Martha McSally is the wrong choice for Arizona

    Dear : The First Amendment prevents government from regulating the racist speech of , the fact-checked articles of , or the search algorithms of internet companies. If you want better coverage, do better things. Also, not lying would help

    Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous! Twitter, in fact, has made it much more difficult for people to join . They have removed many names & greatly slowed the level and speed of increase. They have acknowledged-done NOTHING!

    Dear : Actually, it's not that interesting what Michael Flynn has to say today because he already testified 19 times to prosecutors in multiple investigations. What makes America great is that you don't get to decide if there was collusion. Law enforcement does.

    Good luck today in court to General Michael Flynn. Will be interesting to see what he has to say, despite tremendous pressure being put on him, about Russian Collusion in our great and, obviously, highly successful political campaign. There was no Collusion!

    Dear Tucker Carlson (): I'm an immigrant. Irish Spring soap cleans my skin the same way it cleans your skin. My parents were poor. They worked hard and started a successful business. Now their son is in Congress. So take your hatred of immigrants and shove it.

    Dear : FYI below about Wall Street. Also, when are you going to ask to reverse the tax increases on millions of middle class families as a result of the harmful tax law that you signed but didn't read?

    Welcome to the Trump Economy. Dow is a 1000 points lower than when White House got its tax bill passed last year. Individual-1 likes unpredictability; Wall Street doesn't.
