My cousin and hubby in Katy bought smartly it looks, not flooded yet, did not lose power yet, or got damage to their (red bricks) house. She says "it's going to be a long week."
Trump will fund the wall from the tax cuts for him and his 2%er buddies.

Trump gets paid in proportion with his job performance which is ZERO.
Really Trump has opted not get get paid and gives the money back to the Treasury.
But the emoluments more than makes up for his sacrifice.

I am not sure anymore. Trump started off by saying he will not accept a salary so figured the money stays with the Treasury. But now it seems he is giving it back to government entities.

For the second quarter in a row, President Donald Trump declined to take a salary and opted instead to gift the quarterly installment to a government entity, this time to the Department of Education.

At a White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders presented a check for $100,000 to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Yet another good column of Jennifer Rubin's from the Washington Post.

'Trump exemplifies abuse of power'
