Trump Says He May Use The Military To Build The Wall If Congress Will Not Cooperate


Now we're talking.

This is the President I voted for.
Trump says he could use the MILITARY to build his wall if Congress won't fund it through Homeland Security's budget - and he won't rule out another government shutdown to get his way 
DailyMail.com asked the president on Air Force One if he was considering using the Army Corps of Engineers to build his border wall 
Congress has been stingy with a Homeland Security budget for the project, providing barely $3 billion and leaving another $25 billion unfunded 
Pentagon officials say the Corps of Engineers is suited to perform the work and Trump has boasted about budget increases he has won for the Pentagon 
Trump says: 'We have two options: We have military, we have homeland security' 
He also said he won't take a government shutdown off the table if Democrats on Capitol Hill keep playing hardball because of immigration politics 
He believes a shutdown would be strategically and politically smart 
But many Republican lawmakers are counseling patience because they fear being blamed for a shutdown in the final month of re-elecion campaigns
GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
