Trump signs $1.3 trillion spending bill despite veto threat on Twitter
Washington Post ^ | March 23, 2018 | John Wagner and Mike DeBonis

Posted on 03/23/2018 11:10:15 AM PDT by Innovative

Just hours after threatening a veto, President Trump said Friday afternoon that he had signed the sweeping $1.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress early Friday and averted a government shutdown. In a morning tweet, Trump said he might veto the omnibus bill because it does nothing to address the fate of young undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” and does not fully fund his border wall. But speaking to reporters at the White House about four hours later, Trump said he had decided to sign the bill despite his reservations, arguing that it provides much-needed funding for the military, including a pay increase for troops and new equipment.Just hours after threatening a veto, President Trump said Friday afternoon that he had signed the sweeping $1.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress early Friday and averted a government shutdown.

Trump is a liberal, he has passed the biggest tax increase in CA state history and now he has passed the biggest spending bill in American history. Tax and spend liberal.

If you support him that’s fine, but recognize and admit what you are supporting — the most LIBERAL president in recent history.

WHEN EVER?

You’re childish; there’s a bigger war underway.

In about 60 days or less, the rule of law returns to America.
Much flows from there. You’ll see. Remember I told you.

He had a choice, but he rolled everyone, including the weak hands here on FR.

He proved congress and the Democrats are an easy mark.

Trump rolled them but good.

Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

He just took control of the money.

“Trump is a liberal, he has passed the biggest tax increase in CA state history “

He did no such thing, liar. California is responsible for its State taxes, not Trump, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, or any one else.

You mean the shell of a fence, which cannot use any of the prototypes being discussed last week? And, enforced with which new phantom border agents? There is NO WALL.
Pelosi is laughing at him, and those of us who voted for him.

yes, very clueless. Thanks for the tip. Last week was shocking. On reflection, Congress owns that Bill. Trump is not a Dictator

What is hard to understand. Oh, everything is suppose to be ok because the bill was an Omnibus — time will tell.

Well, I didn’t say that our President considers his supporters sheep — I implied that some are sheep and some are not. Some people will turn against the President over his signing of this HHHUG Omnibus Bill because they are not sheep.

Yes...and they are idiots.

I would accurately refer to them as sheep for falling for the divide and conquer tactics of the DNC Media.
