"In a letter, the former officials said redirecting funds to build the border wall could hurt national security by pulling resources from programs that keep the U.S. safe."
"The letter, according to its authors, is a declaration intended to be used in lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's Feb. 15 decision to redirect $8 billion in federal funds in order to begin construction of a barrier along the southern border. "
Only 50? =0}
@Countrywoman
Actually, 58 ex-natural security officials signed the letter. Read the article, please.
They are right. However, trump NEVER listens th those who know what the hell they are talking about. Instead he listens to his rich friends who don't know shit.
What they do know is how to manipulate the mental midget (aka, POTUS) into doing what they want him to do, and seemingly, is quite willing.
Do you think this sociopath cares about anything at all? We are just fortunate that he hasn't done anything really bad yet. Bad, but not catastrophic. His pandering to the Religiously Impaired™ and de-funding PP makes me want to vomit. Poor people will suffer the most. He is a national disgrace.
Not to mention sucking up to Right Wing dictators while straining relationships with almost all our allies. Threatening Venezuela's Left Wing dictator while completely ignoring Central American countries who's problems are just as bad. He is a total pea brain!
The letter is aimed at helping lawsuits against Trump's emergency declaration to build the wall.
Of course Trump won't care. I hope the lawsuits win. Fingers crossed. Elections of 2020 are just around the corner.
Vote Republicans out of office!
@LiterateHiker I don't know if we will have a chance with Sanders sticking his nose in again.
