Trump isn’t supposed to be able to deploy the national guard the way he did, he wasn’t allowed to move funds for the wall, he shouldn’t be able to decimate the Dept of Education, they shouldn’t be able to deport people without a trial.
The Trump admin can almost do anything it wants, so they could use the funds, they’ve chosen not to.
“The document states that the contingency fund is reserved for such things as helping individuals in disaster areas.

Gov shutdown isn’t enough I guess.
I reckon it’d be fair to classify the Trump administration as a national disaster.
Damn, they’re going to stop feeding folks so they can feed folks in case if emergency. Some genius brain shit right there.
