After the Mueller debacle, Trumpy has the spinnaker up after going through a bit of chop and its all smooth sailing now to the 2020 election. Two investigations running into the Russian hoax and a HUGE win on the border wall today. There have been far too many winning weeks to remember, but a nice BIG win in the supreme court after the dems embarrassed themselves. He could not win any more unless the democrats decide to commit political suicide by impeaching over obstruction of a hoax crime never committed that fishing Bobby (to use Jambo's term) stated in a devastating EIGHT SECONDS that Trump never impeded his investigation. Great to see the leader of the Dems AOC meet with a DNC member today in Nancy Pelosi. It's a shame the Chairwoman of the party Ms Omar couldn't make it.

$2.5 billion more into the wall coffers.

Trump Scores Two Victories on Border

President Trump won two victories on his border agenda Friday, with the Supreme Court allowing the use of military funds to expand the barrier on the Mexican border while Guatemala agreed to serve as gatekeeper for asylum seekers trying to get to the U.S.

In a 5-4 decision, the justices of the U.S. high court said President Trump can shift about $2.5 billion in military funds to construct an additional 100 miles of wall at the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to seal off the U.S. from illegal immigration.

In February, Mr. Trump had declared a national emergency in order to divert a total of $6.7 billion from military and other sources, without the approval of Congress, which had signaled willingness to give him far less. Lower courts had barred the transfer of some of the funds desired by the president, but the Supreme Court on Friday ordered those lower court rulings to be suspended.
