  White House has asked all Cabinet agencies for wall funding
  
  President Trump has asked all Cabinet agencies to find additional funds that could be used to build his long-desired border wall, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday.
  
  “The president’s asked every agency to look and see if they have money that can be used for that purpose,” she said. “We’re looking at every avenue available”
  
  The comments are the latest indication the White House is trying to climb down from its threat to trigger a shutdown over Trump’s demand for $5 billion in wall funding.

  I'll bet he didn't ask the Department of "Defense"
  
  You know… the one agency that actually HAS 27 x the amount of money necessary.

  I'm not sure that is even legal.
  
  Can the Executive Branch shuffle around allocated money like that? Anyone want to bet there are lawsuits in the offing?

      Ha! There is that.
      
      Trump can issue all of the orders he wants, but if the federal bureaucracy chooses to ignore him or bog his initiatives down, well, he will just miss another opportunity to learn something about how the government works.
      
      He’s still clueless.

  If the wall were to be around Washington D.C., then "Yeah baby!"
  
  Mexico might even help pay for it.

    I’d contribute to that.
