Blatantly illegal.

Just delaying the crash until they can hopefully come up with a new distraction for the American public to avoid talking and negotiating with the "enemy within".

You'll have to point out the section of the constitution that says excess funds sitting unused in one account can't be transfered to another account to pay the military during a Schumer Shut-down.

It is unconstitutional for the President to use money appropriated by Congress for one purpose for a different purpose because it violates the constitutional separation of powers, specifically Congress's "power of the purse". The Constitution gives Congress the exclusive authority to control federal spending, and the President is required to faithfully execute the laws as written, not rewrite them by reallocating funds.

The Appropriations Clause (Article I, Section 9): The U.S. Constitution is explicit about how money is to be spent: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law". This clause establishes that Congress must first pass legislation to approve and specify how federal money is spent. The President cannot access or spend public money without this authorization.

Thank you for the opportunity to teach you about our wonderful constitution. It's very cool. You should read it sometime!

Donner would rather these funds sit unused when they could pay service men and women.

Visitor would rather pretend a government shutdown harms no one.

Donner would rather the President faithfully enforce the law.

Donner world rather the President allow Congress to negotiate an end to the shut down.

Donner would also rather the President stop sowing fear and chaos and threatening innocent Americans by threatening to illegally withhold their back pay.

Really? It's a currency swap.

A currency swap is a risky financial investment and we could lose billions depending on what happens in Argentina.

So Trumpy would rather make a risky financial investment in Argentina than California, New York and Oregon and even North Carolina.

Got it.
