One thing he didn't mention was that this is an Omnibus bill, not a Budget. There's a difference. If it were a budget, even with the declared emergency, Trump would be forced to spend it as Congress has mandated, though he could use DoD funds to build the wall for nat'l sec purposes.

 

But, this is an Omnibus. That means Congress's intent is mostly a set of suggestions. Trump is NOT obligated to spend the money as stated in the omnibus, but has wide lattitude. The declared emergency just reinforces that lattitude.

 

Passing omnibus bills is how Hussein got away with spending as he wanted during his entire term. So Trump is using their own tool against them.
