I’m hoping you’re right.

Trump has said things that have concerned me greatly. But for the most part, the things he’s actually *done* have been very encouraging. I’m hoping this is an instance where he’s saying one thing, with intentions to negotiate something better.

There was no other way to get the necessary funding to rebuild a military that was intentionally depleted under Obama.

Trump has: Cut corporate tax cuts almost in half, cut in billions in regulations, enacted tariffs to protect US jobs, nominated the most conservative justices of any President in history, destroyed ISIS, revoked funding for PP internationally and allowed states to de-fund PP. and, now, managed to provided funding to rebuild our military, which was gutted under Obama. Border security and enforcement infinitely better than it was under Obama.

The Republic establishment and its donors are blocking funding for the wall for obvious reasons (cheap labor) and a handful of liberal Senators are blocking the defunding of PP. Trump is using DACA to try to get funding for the wall and worked hard to get an Obamacare repeal passed that included the de-funding of PP. It's absurd to say he hasn't tried or doesn't want to accomplish those objectives.

Anyone should, on balance, be thrilled with what Trump has accomplished in 14 months. It easily surpasses what Reagan accomplished in his first 14 months, But, he needs more conservatives in Congress to get the rest of his agenda passed.

“Pass the Bill Now!” “Don’t Wait!!” “Because National Security!!”

Every single freedom-stripping bill passed in the last 20 years has been “BECAUSE NATIONAL SECURITY!!”

Sorry, that BS doesn’t work anymore.

“A shutdown would have been the final nail in Trump’s political coffin. His own party would have rushed to impeach and convict him, once the Democrats started using their propaganda arm (the MSM, where almost all Americans get their information from) to hammer them into mid-term oblivion. You aren’t dealing with an educated public...they won’t get it and they don’t care.”
That is total hog wash. Trump is gone!! The republicrat party is gone.All the money for republicrats is now gone. the country will be destroyed in very short order. Trump will go down as a bad JOKE!! I will predict that trump, in his depressio0n will try to “wag the dog” with a damned war against Syria that has never done a thing to this country. IT wont work , donald ( you liar). We will never support that WAR NEVER!!

Very disappointing on all fronts.

President Trump may as well go scorched earth at this point by firing Mueller and let the chips fall where they may for the midterms.

Jane I did not want to see this bill go through but the national security realities outweigh the political expectations vastly. There were things that I know but there were things brought to my attention that are very critical that cannot be delayed anymore.

Eight years of Obama clearly wasn't enough!

If you can't see the stark differences between the Trump and Obama Administrations, there's no point talking with you.

I was actually agreeing with you. I typically don't use those "sarcasm tags," especially if something's so silly that it shouldn't need one around here.

All of a sudden I feel sick to my stomach. This is absolutely terrible. Looks like the MAGA movement just died. Dreadfully sad - huge betrayal.

This punt will likely lose the House. Republicans will now sit home in droves.

<<< By electing Democrats? Great plan.

We are electing democrats already. Duh. The "democratic leaders in the senate and house"...masquerading as republicans...who were put in leadership by the people YOU AND I sent to DC just crafted this crapburger in secret and made Nancy and Chuckie's day....to the point Chuck said they got more out of it than they ever did when they were in the majority!

So, let's see...if the left is getting MORE now than they did when they were in power...because the conservatives we are sending to congress are putting leaders in leadership that are enabling them to get more...that's winning?

That's the definition of insanity. That's not a good plan. Apparently electing republicans is not doing anything worthwhile either.

And here has always been my opinion: I would rather be stabbed in the chest than stabbed in the back. ALWAYS. The first rule of war is to be able to define your enemy. If my enemy is supposed to be my friend...I'm screwed.

Something is going on behind the scene we don't know about and is being kept quiet.

Notice there was no hysterics by Democrats leading up to this budget.

Why? Did they know it was a done deal? If so, how did they know?

There are many questions and we need to find the answers.

Here's a tweet that adequately addresses your remarks:

Stonewall Jackson

I have to say this: Trump has the worst base ever. Every single time something happens that they don't like, they say they're out. Obama NEVER had that problem. Trump has done SO MUCH great things. The country is THRIVING. I'm so sick of quitters. YOU are the problems.
