His brain could have gone to "ET" because it's also what Entertainment Tonight, the celebrity news show, is called. I'm sure Trump has watched hundreds of hours of that.
Homeland Security now has more leeway in what "border wall" spending they can do thanks to a centrist Democrat in Texas who wanted funding for a riverwalk development project in his district.
“The bill was written and negotiated under a House Democratic majority and, instead of using this opportunity to rein in DHS, it keeps many of the same spending levels and transfer flexibilities authored by Republicans and in line with President Trump’s priorities,” the Hispanic Caucus said in a statement, adding that it would “inflict cruelty and militarize our border.”
In one key area, however, the Trump administration got even more flexibility, freeing them from constraints on the type of border barrier they can build that had been in force since 2017. And the main reason for this change is that centrist Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and city leaders in Laredo, Texas, want to build a riverwalk along the border.
Cuellar ultimately voted against the bill, saying that he couldn’t support “an ineffective border wall” that would harm “taxpayers, wildlife, the environment, and my community.” But at the same time, Cuellar, vice chair of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee that negotiated this part of the bill, touted the inclusion of language he wrote protecting certain wildlife refuges and historical landmarks in South Texas from any border fencing, including the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park and the National Butterfly Center.
So Cuellar clearly played a role in the crafting of the bill, and his priority of enabling federal funding for a Laredo riverwalk got into the final package, which could create a chain reaction that leads to border wall construction throughout the region, cutting off numerous barrios, colonias, ranches, and farms. Cuellar’s office would not comment on his role in securing that language. But his fingerprints are all over it.

Has the editorial by the "left-wing" Christianity Today been reproduced on this thread? In case it hasn't, here's the key portion:
"Trump’s evangelical supporters have pointed to his Supreme Court nominees, his defense of religious liberty, and his stewardship of the economy, among other things, as achievements that justify their support of the president. We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath. The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president’s moral deficiencies for all to see.
"This damages the institution of the presidency, damages the reputation of our country, and damages both the spirit and the future of our people. None of the president’s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character."
I've been told that the editorial has been pulled from their website.

He’s facing an actual primary challenger in 2020, let’s see if it works.

Debated whether to put this here or on the WTF? thread:
(bold mine)
Trump loved Tic Tacs. But not an arbitrary amount. He wanted, in his bedroom bureau at all times, two full containers of white Tic Tacs and one container that was half full. The same rule applied to the Bronx Colors-brand face makeup from Switzerland that Trump slathered on — two full containers, one half full — even if it meant the housekeepers had to regularly bring new shirts from the pro shop because of the rust-colored stains on the collars. A special washing machine in the laundry room was reserved for his wife Melania Trump’s clothing.
Donald Trump liked Irish Spring bar soap in his shower. But his housekeepers quickly learned not to throw out his soap even if it had worn down to the tiniest sliver: Trump decided when he wanted something discarded. When that happened, with clothes or newspapers, he would toss them on the floor.
