Donald Trump's campaign for the presidency was built around one core, idiotic promise: He was going to build a wall along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. But that wasn't the entirety of the promise. No, I think anyone who made the mistake of passing a TV with cable news on it between June of 2015 and November of 2016 will remember the second half of that promise.

That's right. Trump repeatedly told voters that Mexico will pay for the wall. Mexico's response to this outlandish claim has been a pretty consistent "new phone, who dis" on the subject, and apparently the Trump camp has started to take that seriously. According to a new report from The Washington Post, one potential path Trump and company are considering to pay for the wall: cuts to the coast guard, FEMA, and airport security.

The Trump administration, searching for money to build the president’s planned multibillion-dollar border wall and crack down on illegal immigration, is weighing significant cuts to the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration and other agencies focused on national security threats, according to a draft plan. The proposal, drawn up by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), also would slash the budget of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which provides disaster relief after hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. The Coast Guard’s $9.1 billion budget in 2017 would be cut 14 percent to about $7.8 billion, while the TSA and FEMA budgets would be reduced about 11 percent each to $4.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively.

Interesting. So this administration actually thinks that it might be a good idea to build an insanely expensive border wall that will almost certainly fail to dissuade undocumented immigration for "security" reasons, while cutting funding for airport security. It's almost as if Donald Trump has lied about Muslim reactions to 9/11 so much that he forgets what actually happened. Don't be surprised when it turns out that he owns a company in Mexico that makes super tall ladders.
