!!! FALSE !!!
But you're working really hard to keep spreading that LIE, aren't you??
The President can only spend money the way Congress allocates it. All the money to Ukraine? Passed both houses of Congress. Israel & Taiwan? Likewise, @jackjjackson. Remember when Trump had to take money from military bases to build his defective "wall"? That's because Congress wouldn't allocate wall money, and the President has very very little discretionary money.
This is all way too complex for you, @jackjjackson, isn't it?
Congress allocates pools of emergency response money, and a separate pool for asylum seekers. It would be a CRIME to mix these two pools, @jackjjackson.
FYI, @jackjjackson, here is where our emergency response money gets spent:
P.S. The judgment of someone who would choose a geriatric convicted felon narcissistic sexual predator financial scammer serial liar to occupy the Oval Office is beyond suspect.
The FEMA money which should have been used for the hurricane/storm victims was diverted to illegal aliens.

@MarthannBann888 Haitians actually speak a language they call "Creole," and many of the legal asylum seekers here in the US can get by in English.
@jackjjackson Here is US law on asylum:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1158
IT creates a giant loophole for asylum seekers. It's a holdover from the '60s & '70s US immigration law and policy was designed to spit in the eye of Fidel Castro by treating everyone who set foot on Florida as an asylum seeker. This helped earn votes from a swing demographic in a swing state. I agree, we need immigration reform.
And the Senate Bipartisan border bill would have closed that loophole and others! It was the first immigration overhaul since Reagan gave amnesty in 1986!
And of course you know what happened to he Senate Bipartisan border bill. Trump leaned on his flunkies to kill it. Trump wanted a mess on the border to run against. Trump DAMAGED America for campaign purposes. SICK!!
@jackjjackson Sorry, but the migrants are legal. Despite your lies and denials, they are legal.
Ohio's republican Gov Mike DeWine knows better than you, LOL!!!
Heck, even your ijit orange god knows they're legal, that's why he tried to remove their legal status!
The Haitians were legal when they came in during the Trump admin, and they're legal now. Their legal status dates back to a law signed by the first Bush. Even tRump knows it.
So after I've proved you wrong @jackjjackson, all you have is childish insults? Good to know!!

“These Haitians came in to work for these companies,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said last month. “What the companies tell us is that they are very good workers. They’re very happy to have them there. And, frankly, that’s helped the economy.”
Temporary Legal Status was created in legislation passed by Congress in 1990. Haiti has been among the countries included in the program since a 2010 earthquake killed at least 220,000 people there. The country also has been plagued by pervasive gang violence.
During his presidency, Trump attempted to end TPS for 400,000 migrants. His efforts, however, became entangled in court challenges. The Biden administration extended TPS for all countries, ending Trump’s plan. Protections for Haitian migrants are set to expire in February 2026 but could be extended again.

@MarthannBann888 asks
The answer is capitalism. Barack & Michelle Obama got a $60 million advance for their two books, and the books earned both them and their publisher a boatload of money.
Michelle's book has sold 17 million copies so far - more copies of Becoming in the 1st week than Trump has sold of Art of the Deal in 20 years!
$19 paperback, $32 hardcover, $650 deluxe edition signed.
That's a minimum of $340 million in sales for Michelle alone; probably closer to $450 million. The bookseller keeps 40%, the publisher keeps 45% to 50%; so you can see how smart the publisher was to bid $60 million for the pair of books (Barack's book sold 3.4 million copies the first year; not bad either).
So, $60 million for the book advance, plus at least 10% of $450 million in book sales, That adds up to $105 million; Barack's book sales earn another $10-15 million for a grand total of around $120 million. Take away 40% taxes - they are left with $72 million. yes they can buy a $11.75 million house with that and afford the upkeep.
Why did the publisher advance $60 million? Because they got to keep 45% or 50% of $450 million in sales. Pay $60 million to earn over $200 million a couple years later - smart business.
In short, @MarthannBann888, CAPITALISM earned Barack and Michelle eight figures - read it and weep!!
P.S. sales figures are from back in Feb; I couldn't be bothered to update to the current month.
Just explain this one thing. Where did the money come from that obama used to buy his mansions? When he took the white house he was not a rich man.
The answer is capitalism. Barack & Michelle Obama got a $60 million advance for their two books, and the books earned both them and their publisher a boatload of money.
While the exact terms of the book deal have not been publicly revealed, multiple reports said Penguin Random House paid more than $60 million to acquire rights to one book each written by Michelle and Barack Obama. The former president has yet to release his book, which is widely expected to detail his own experiences as the 44th U.S. president.

I am afraid you are not too bright.
I am, in fact, using her references as a basis of what I say. Just like she uses her references as a basis for what she says.
So, what are you using as a basis that the Hunter Biden laptop?
What are you using as a basis for the left supporting child trafficking?
What are you using as a basis for supporting fentanyl trafficking and the deaths of a hundred thousand people every year, that Trump University was sued?
Do you know how many universities get sued every year, and for what?
Do you, too, support the justice department pigeon holing investigations of the bidumb family, their sale of duel use companies to the CCP? Chinese Communist Party
Do you know what a duel use company is?
Do think fake violations of disputed financial laws are worse than watching the eyeballs of your children melt and run down their faces?
You are a cheap amateur playing in a world where the game is HARDBALL.
You think you are so smart and mean. Like snake handler preachers, you look down on everybody while it is you that is worse.

DUUUDE!! You made the absurd assertion that the Biden admin is violated all the budgetary and spending LAWS!!
And you can't provide a SHRED of evidence to support your absurd assertion!!
Your logical fallacies are
Your link is about FEMA Shelter and Services Program (SSP) money to local governments in 2022!! FEMA SSP is a completely different pool of money; completely separate from disaster relief. Congress specifies that SSP money can be given to local governments for humanitarian services including services to migrants. All specified by Congress.
The lie being told by trumpsters is that FEMA Disaster Relief Funds are going to migrants. That's a big fat insupportable evidence-free LIE!!
Choose one and prove it’s not true.

El! I know you know that DT is famous for staying up most of the night working. It has been a problem for him ALWAYS. All of his bios address that.
It is up to you to prove that your pictures represent asleep at the wheel and not exasperation, or some other incident.
It is a moot point since bidumb has been so bad any state of his is asleep at the wheel. You people are the biggest liars in all history. That’s why you accuse everyone else, because you are covering for incompetence and criminality. Oh, I am so sorry, he’s sharp as a tack.
I really don’t know what fools you think you are fooling.
What you think is a cult is actually the relief people feel when they get around someone who is real.

@MarthannBann888 I know that DT is famous for telling non-stop self-aggrandizing lies! I think the "hard at work late into the night" story belongs with these gems🤣😂
June 2015: “There’s nobody bigger or better at the military than I am.”
July 2016: "So a general gets on, sent obviously by Obama, and he said, 'Mr. Trump doesn't understand. He knows nothing about defense.' I know more about offense and defense than they will ever understand, believe me. Believe me. Than they will ever understand. Than they will ever understand."
Nov 2015: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do."
Nov 2015: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth."
Mar 2016: "Nobody knows more about trade than me."
Apr 2016: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."
May 2016: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world. Nobody knows more about taxes."
July 2016: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump."
Feb 8 2017: "I understand things. I comprehend very well. Ok? Better than, I think, almost anybody"
Dec 2018: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me."
Jan 2019: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have."
Want video evidence Trump said these things?

@jackjjackson
Virtually no one in the country wants illegal migrants in the country. Including me.
But, the purpose of the migrants being here is to garner votes for democrats. In some locals illegal migrants are already being registered to vote. Being unable to read and write English renders the migrants perfect voters for a party who doesn’t want the people who vote for them to know who they really are. I believe that it is the obligation of every voter to have ID, and to have knowledge of both sides of controversial issues.
