Mulvaney: Trump 'absolutely' could still cut off aid to Central American nations

Trump may still cut off aid to Central American countries, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday.

Despite bipartisan criticism of the proposal, cutting off aid is “absolutely” still possible, Mulvaney said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“This is his number one priority. Keep in mind, dealing with health care is nice, dealing with the economy is nice. The president’s first responsibility is to protect the integrity and safety of our nation, and we really do believe and I think again, most folks are starting to agree with us now, that the situation on the border is a national security crisis.” Mulvaney told Fox News’s Bill Hemmer.

Trump has called to end foreign aid to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras over the flow of migrants from the countries moving toward the U.S.

Critics, however, have said aid cuts are unlikely to achieve their desired effect.

“It may make the lives of these individuals even worse and thus encourage more of them to flee the countries that they are now leaving,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said last week. “So I’d actually like to see the president consider a different approach, an opposite approach.”

Yes but Trumpy's too stupid to get this.

1. His personality really doesn't allow for him to do the 'right' thing in this situation ...

Nor a great many other situations that arise as POTUS when it comes to other countries.

He's going to see giving these countries money as a way to help stem the flow of asylum seekers as 'losing'. He can only accept, mentally, solutions where he's the 'tough guy' and 'winner'.

Giving money to these countries is the opposite of waving his (tiny) dick around, so he's going to continually threaten to yank it, but in the end not do so, blaming it on others ... 'If it were up to me I'd be a big ol' badass, and it WOULD fix the problem cause I'm so smart, but alas, Democrats!'

2. So is Fox News running our government right now? If so they should just say it.
