Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, speaking to "Fox News Sunday," charged that the compromise spending bill recently signed by President Trump to avert another partial government shutdown was little more than a disguised effort by some Republicans to torpedo his 2020 presidential candidacy.
"Both parties have people that are still trying to get rid of Donald Trump," Limbaugh said, asserting that Democrats are also working to guarantee a "permanent underclass of voters" who are "uneducated" and "don't even speak" English.
He continued: "I read this bill -- this spending bill, this bill is outrageous. [It includes] welcoming centers for newly arriving illegal aliens, and all kinds of medical care" -- a reference to the allocation of $192,700,000 in the bill's conference agreement to enhance medical care and transportation for illegal immigrants in U.S. custody, including to shelters run by nonprofits.
"The purpose of this bill, I think, was eventually to be used by the Democrats and some Republicans to tell the American people, 'See, electing President Trump was pointless, worthless, he can't protect you, he can't stop us, he can't do what he said he was going to do, because we hate him so much we're not going to allow him to do it -- that's what this bill is," Limbaugh said.
The talk show host rejected claims that Trump is unduly influenced by right-wing media figures and "wackos" -- an accusation that resurfaced amid the ongoing border wall funding dispute.

I guess Trump really showed them by signing it.
Yet vets are dying waiting for care from the VA.
And sleeping on the streets.
I tuned into Fox News Sunday ONLY because El Rushbo was on. I made the mistake of watching it from the beginning and wanted to choke Chris Wallace. He was so obnoxious, arrogant, rude and condescending with Stephen Miller - but Miller was terrific. That jackass Wallace made a point of stating that he disagreed with Miller as the interview closed down. Honestly, I don’t know why Rush or anybody else does these interviews.
+1
I agree. I don’t watch anything with Wallace on . What is that old adage about the “Seed not Falling Far from the Tree”?
Well, Chris is pretty much the same guy as his now deceased Dad Mike.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
OAN and Lou Dobbs are all that’s left of decent news programs.
Greg Gutfeld, whose show I eagerly look forward to, has me worried now, since last night he had a sniveling liberal on the panel.
PDJT basically said...nice try, but I'll do it my way.
In a WH statement he said (with basically the same response after each outrageous demand)..
Because the Constitution gives the President the authority to recommend “such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient”, my Administration will continue the practice of treating provisions like these as advisory and non-binding.
I do not believe that President Trump was out to show anybody anything. However, the public has been shown that the obstacles he faces from both parties have to be dealt with whatever deceitful bill they hand off to him. He endeavors to do what is best for the American people and that applies to this spending bill. The Republican senators and House members who are in league with the democrat socialists are doing what is best for their uniparty and open boarder confederates. Pres Trump is proceeding with building the wall, as promised, and has my support for doing the job he was elected to do. Building the wall is one part of his duties and the Republican traitors are planting obstacles every step of the way for him. God bless Pres Trump and keep him safe.
A list of names would be appreciated.
That’s a wicked and evil trojan elephant.
It will put the coffin in the ground.
People who really know this issue have had it with Trump.
There are some hills he should have been willing to die on and the first and most important one was to not sign that bill.
I personally have been on the Trump train from early on. I just jumped off and will do everything possible elect a president and a Congress to change things. Trump just made it a lot harder to make those changes.
I see no way that he can win the country back after this huge fumble on his part.
Rush is a champion for the future of the USA.
I watch Outfield for 30 minutes and then the subjects get stupid.
Notice the Senate final vote on the Bill. It was 83 to 16 which indicates they had the votes to override a vetoe which would have been worse! My guess McConnell told hi if he did not sign it an override would happen. He let Trump save face by letting him declare the emergency and then hope the courts shoot it down.
The only conservative thing that these people care about is lower taxes on the rich. I now think that if this is the way things are going to be run that we should raise their taxes. I now believe that they should pay taxes on all of the money they make with cheap foreign labor. As long as the corporate media stabs us in the back the
an corporate America should not get any tax relief indeed they should pay more. Also if they are going to spend the money they are spending that they should pay more. No more tax cuts for rinos, Msm owners, silicon valley, fashionista libs and all of the elites who are destroying this country. They should only get tax cuts and business breaks when you approve of the way the country is being run. If you do not like the way the country is being run that these elites should not get tax breaks and instead they should pay more.
Go to Hell!
I would tell you to get lost, but it seems you already are.
I think you’re a coward and WE PATRIOTS WILL NEVER SURRENDER, NEVER EVER.
