Trump-O-Meter: Build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it | PolitiFact
First off, the military will NOT be paying for Trump's border wall. It seems as we get closer to the mid-terms, the more desperate and outlandish Trump becomes about his fledgling campaign promise to not only build a wall along the Mexico border, but have Mexico pay for it as well. An action against another country that he said many times would be "easy" to accomplish.
In a nutshell, the recently passed Omnibus spending bill contains certain appropriations for the border with Mexico. It does NOT fund "the wall" in any shape form or fashion. In order for Trump to get the military to pay for the wall, something that the military is strongly opposed to, a new measure would have to be brought forward and would require 60 votes in the Senate to pass. That my dear DP friends simply "aint" gonna happen.
The only way that Trump gets his wall is to actually have Mexico pay for it. Good luck with that Trump "ole buddy".
