Reading last night, there are some 38,000 personnel already employed in this effort, so maybe having their own organization and command structure makes sense. I don't know that Trump is proposing anything beyond this. The only part that gets me is that by talking about it in the way he and Pence do, it seems it's been brought up as much to provide photo ops as it is a serious project.
Um no, it points out the long term hypocrisy of the GOP bemoaning limited government, only to create new needless entities instead of funding the existing ones.
Yes it is embarrassing because it really is nothing more to act as a distraction to billionaire tax breaks they do not need, and giving a bullhorn to bigots.
