Still not applicable to Trump because the U.S. Congress has power of the purse, not the President.

  Not true, the president can declare an 'emergency' and circumvent Congress.

    Referring to no specific case in particular: that is not a circumvention but an application of the authority that Congress delegated to the President in the National Emergencies Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act
